Thank you for the response Texas Splash! I see that your pool is similar in volume to mine.. I am curious, what size Hayward cart filter you are using?

I have only been in this house now for two years, and have used an old 25" sand filter these past two swim seasons. The sand filter has completely gone south, and I need a new filter, and am considering getting a 200 sq ft cartridge filter. The reason for the change, is because there is no easy...

OP: Curious what you did, and how it went? Facing a similar situation.

Like most people have said, it's all about hot water. Get it boiling, and be generous with pouring it. Should be able to work it back in

Backflush hose? The blue vinyl hose that you use to backwash the filter? Interesting. What kind of adapter did you use for that?

Nope. No. overflow drain. Maybe I'm wrong, and it didn't go down and it just appears that way from the weight if the water on top. Again, if anyone could recommend a good cheap pump for pool covers, that'd be fantastic. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Thank you for the responses. It is a waterproof tarp, so I don't think I took water out of the pool when I put the pump on top of the tarp? I actually HAVE considered pumping the water off the top, and putting it into the pool.. heh. One more question. Could someone recommend a 'decent' cover...

Above are the pics of the situation. And who knows, maybe this isn't even a "situation"? This is my first time closing, and only my 2nd time with the pool having a cover on it, since we moved in last March. I can't recall what the cover looked like last winter. Probably because I wasn't the one...

So when I closed my pool this past September I had the pool cover pretty well situated, sitting on the water that was in the pool. The water level was high enough where the tarp was laying nice and flat across the pool. I had it so there was some tarp that went down the walls, and then went flat...

Where is the question?

There is nothing there to clamp a hose onto. There is the face plate, and that's it..

I have a new house, with a new pool and have noticed an issue with the one and only return in my pool. It appears that the threaded part to a return jet collar broke off and is stuck in the return pipe. Hence making it impossible to attach a new return fitting into the pipe. Was wondering if...

Moderator Note: Side discussion regarding using a ground rod in bonding is moved here: Bonding with a ground rod Roger that. well thank you so much for the detailed information, and advice. Everyone. It is greatly appreciated!

OK. thank you. Kinda what I wanted to hear, but at the same time, kinda not what I wanted to hear. I am assuming installing a bonding grid would take a lot of digging? What parts of the pool would you have to access?
