    Leaking around handle

    I “think” I have a Hayward s224t filter. I am losing water out of the top of the valve. It starts in the valve grooves slowly (rinse, backwash, recirculate, all of them evenly) and then spills out and just continues to leak. I thought about buying the whole assembly, but thought it could just...

    Solar blanket vs. solar panel

    Ok, next question. I think from everything I read on here, get a 16 mil. As for solar panels. What is the best brand wise. All things considering.

    Solar blanket vs. solar panel

    If you could only pick one, what would it be? Pool gets full sun all day, 8am-7pm this time of year. And gets used a lot, so taking the cover on and off everyday would suck. I need to do some thing though. Our night are in the low 70's now : (

    Solar blanket vs. solar panel

    UGGGHHH. Terrible answer. Nah just kidding :-D Makes sense, I was hoping to get by though. The pool is 33' with a slide and I was hoping to avoid covers, except a winter one. Is one just as effective as the other in raising temps? In terms of per day.

    Solar blanket vs. solar panel

    My main issue is prolonging my swimming season as long as I can. I was going to buy a solar cover and build a reel and all that, but then thought a solar panel would be just as cheap. Is there an advantage to one over the other in terms of heating? Pump run time is a non issue. Thanks. Jonathan

    I got the 1HP 2 speed also. Sorry to hi-jack the thread guys. To the op, just do what the guys say and your pool will be unbelievable. Good luck.

    I did the deep end/shallow end. And couldn't ask for anything else, but deeper. When we replace the lumber, we will go deeper. Hopefully that is in 2022 though.

    8' :hammer: but seriously. Knowing what I know now, I would have went to 7' minimum and I have the 72" also. We didn't even stretch it into place. There was so much liner, and it was hot mind you, it fit the hole with 2' overlap, without stretching. Just laying it in there. But it has a bunch...
