    Help replacing an odd pump power cable

    Yeah. It's sort of started all kinds of questions for me. Thank you both for responding. I went back and looked at the WaterAce documentation... and I'm pretty sure I need a 20A plug NOT a 15A... and it's at 125V (so that's good). The label is worn off so I'm trying to make educated guesses...

    Help replacing an odd pump power cable

    I need to find a replacement cable for my pool's pump. There's a pretty solid chance that who ever wired this may have performed some splicing on cables/plugs. It's 15A/ 125V, and I think I can get away with just replacing the plug itself (the cable is 15 feet in length or so). The ground on the...

    In ground skimmer face plate, rusty, musty and leaking?

    I have been struggling with water loss for a little bit now. Thought it was just because our area was in a "drought" with a lack of rain, but did the bucket test and it confirmed my suspicions. Found there was at least two screws that were loose on the skimmer and one that just spins in place...

    Increased prices on solar covers?

    So, I'm in the market for a new solar cover for my 20x40 pool. My last cover is disintegrating and I'm getting the little blue discs all over. I'm ALMOST positive I bought my last cover for about $100. I'm looking at Amazon right now and they are going for $300. Is that right? I can't find my...

    How fast should Algae eat Chlorine?

    Good afternoon, Working on a SLAM right now and have needed to add Dichlor to bump my CYA up (will need to add more to get up to 30). I've been doing quite a bit of brushing and vacuuming, so much so that I'm bumping my DE filter every 30 minutes or so. I'll be pulling it apart, cleaning and...

    Green pool: run DE filter without DE?

    Cool, thanks for the replies! Do you think it is worth running the filter and vacuuming without Chlorine for a bit or just jump right into the SLAM?

    Green pool: run DE filter without DE?

    Sub title: Winter cover failure, green pool and a leaf problem Good afternoon! Our pool cover failed this spring and I have been blessed with a green pool (dark green at that...) and a nice bed of leaves at the bottom (4 feet shallow and 8 feet in the deep end). I'm trying to figure out the...
