    How do I get the multiport valve back onto the sand filter?

    Company that closed my pool last year removed the multiport valve and I can not get it to go back into the pipe completely. Should I just use force? Do not want to damage anything. Should I try removing the pipe from the sand, connecting first, then pushing it all back into the filter?

    Sand Dollar SD40 Replacement Clamp?

    Hello - I had a pool company close my pool at the end of the season last year and they completed stripped and ruined the valve clamp for my sand filter. Can anyone help me find a replacement clamp? I have looked online and can not seem to find one that I can confidently say is compatible. Thanks...

    How to get the pool eye back in to the return jet?

    Every video I can find shows people unscrewing their return jet, but this doesn't appear to unscrew. I have attempted by hand with no luck.

    New pool owner - overwhelmed and not sure where to start

    Initial test levels: Chlorine: .5-1 pH: 6.8 Bromine: 1 Alkalinity: 50 Hardness: 70 CYA: 100 With CYA being so high, next step would be to drain some of the water and add in fresh water?
