Looks like the Plastic filter housing has old tape or old Harveys seal in it and has a rusty color to it looking like brass. The old gauge looks like it has PTFE tape on it too. Can you take your smallest jeweler's screwdriver or a pick like suggested above to pick at the thread in the plastic...

While looking for a replacement cartridge for my filter, I saw the prices up quite a bit or out of stock. I came across a website saying the Pleatco PWWEK200-M4 was being discontinued. Two questions: Does anyone know if there is a fitting piece you can buy to change my old Filter from a...

Searching our forum and the web, I see the same thing happening to my pool. The original solar cover we had (silver and blue heavy one) lasted many many more years than the 2020 Blue 8mil one we bought which I am needing to replace because it is falling apart. Currently, I see there are...

Question for Bluesilv, What is the model number you purchased?

We currently have a 200 sq foot Waterway Cartridge filter on our pool. The serial number on the housing body sticker barcode is CW2-83142. So taking our filter out of the shed today, I found what I believe is a 1/4 inch "breather tube" broken off which goes from the bottom of the unit and has...

Two questions related: My current vacuum hose and couplers are held together by Gorilla duct tape last year to prevent leaks so I know I need to replace it this year. What are the pros and cons of 1.25" and 1.5" vacuum hose for my standard triangular suction cleaner on a pole? Any particular...

Was at Fleet Farm over the weekend and they were selling 4 gallons of 12.5% bleach for $9.99. Menards has "Splash Pool Shock Liquid" which is 12.5% bleach and is the liquid chlorine I have been using to treat my pool for $3.55 per gallon. Knock on wood, their app says everyone has it in stock.

Menards is $3.99 a gallon right now for "pool shock". At end of winter they ran a buy one get one sale. Last year mid summer they had a $2 per gallon sale and 11% off....score! Fleet Farm last year sold 4 gallon boxes which broke down to same as Menards regular price. The kids said it...

Sweet. I check on my android and that worked. I figured you guys had already thought of it and I was just missing it.

Pool Math app seems to work great. I have my account loaded on two Samsung 8's and one iPhone 8. Does it have the function like the Pool Math web page on this site where you put in your FC is 2.0 and I want to go to 4 so I need to add xxxx amount of bleach? The "Effects of Adding" function is...

Would putting in a dual function CAFI and GFCI circuit breaker in the panel make the most sense so the wire is protected the whole way? I am running 12-2 from the panel to an outside outlet on the house. Then I was thinking of running conduit from the bottom of that outside box to the...

You said you can't turn the impeller and by the buzzing it sounds like it is "stuck" causing the overload on the motor to trip. You need to determine the cause of this. Unplug the motor. One cause would be something in the way of the impeller and another cause could be the bearing is seized...
