    Pool Filter upgrade/replacement

    I want to replace my current pool filter and want to know if there is an upgrade to what I have now. My pool is about 25,0000 gallons and the current setup works fine, but it seems like it restricts what comes out my waterfalls sometimes. Currently I have Jandy Model CV460.is there any...

    Pool Deck Ideas Please

    I have an older pool that I'm slowly needing to rehab. The pool deck is the ugliest part and I'm needing ideas on how to update it. It is exposed aggregate and it not sealed, hard on the feet and ugly. Can I get someone to grind it down and put a layer of concrete to stain? Is there a product...

    First time poster...long time lurker who is ready to take control of his pool!

    I am in your boat. Paying people to still have algae is frustrating. I need to start studying and do it on my own. Any tips or places to start?? Thank you!!!!

    Sheer Decent Trouble?

    Thank you for the replies.... The waterfalls are inline. The weakest one seems to be the first in line from the pump. The stronger ones are the farthest from the pump. It got better for a day or two after I "cleaned" the filters and partially blocked the other two waterfalls, but now its very...

    Spa LED replacement

    I replaced my pool light with a color changing LED. All I did was take the screw out and pull the housing off. Take the bulb out and replace. The housing should have extra wire to pull out of the water. I purchased a new seal just in case. Make sure to turn off the power to ALL pool equipment...

    Sheer Decent Trouble?

    Here is what I uncovered. Its just a hole. I "blocked" the other 2 waterfalls with duct tape to see if I could pressure the blockage out of the weak waterfall. I then. with the pump off, blew compressed air into the weak waterfall. It helped a little, but its still not performing like the...

    Sheer Decent Trouble?

    I will check tomorrow. I was "told" it was for a volleyball net, but I'll verify tomorrow when I get off nights.

    Sheer Decent Trouble?

    I just discovered them a couple days ago. I asked the previous owner, and he said they worked properly, just sometimes small pebbles would get clogged in the outlet of the waterfall. The one that's not working is the closest to the pump discharge. The two that are working properly are the...

    Sheer Decent Trouble?

    Hello ALL, I just purchased a new home with a pool (Sorry I'll update my sig later, I don't know all the specifics yet) and discovered that the pool has 3 sheer decent waterfalls in it. The problem is that they have a shared common line ( I think?) and 2 are flowing great and 1 is not. The...
