Am replacing seals on a Pentair Whisperflo (2017) and everything was coming apart nicely -- no corrosion etc. I am having a hard time getting the old diffuser-side seal dislodged from the diffuser. I know I need to be careful not to scratch/ding the hard plastic diffuser side so am gently...

Hello— I’m looking to purchase a 20’x40’ clear solar blanket but Inyopools only has 12 or 16 mil (!) and Pool Supply Unlimited has a surprisingly limited supply! Any suggestions (free shipping would be a plus!). Thank you! Kate

Actually, he'd be getting off pretty easy on this problem, which is that his workers (he was not on site during installation), messed up big time. I have a friend who is a contract lawyer who suggested that before the repair is attempted we write a very simple agreement that specifies 4 things...

I had a new liner, pump, filter, lines (pretty much everything but the frame) redone recently on a 20'x40' vermiculite bottom. The installer made a mistake that he acknowledges (left a screw under the liner and it's not an easy fix). He is refusing to sign a very basic agreement that spells out...

Thanks so much for the help! I'm a novice at this. He has been around for quite a while but I will ask for a written warranty, like you suggested. The spot is at a bottom corner area-- when I dropped the quarter in, it rolled to the exact spot. He is planning to do it while full of water. Is...

Thanks for the reply! The texture of the liner (Loop Loc, 28 mil, "pearlessence/ textured) makes it look more bumpy than it is). Should I be satisfied with a "patch" if that's what he wants to do? We paid roughly $20,000 for the entire job and I feel like I shouldn't be worrying every day...

My contractor finished a complete overhaul of our pool. Redo vermiculite, new pipes, new liner, new DE filter etc. About a week after we paid him, we noticed a 1" screw trapped, tight enough so you can see the threads (see photo attached, taken underwater, next to a quarter for size), at the...
