Hola my favorite site that my wallet hates. Here goes the short version of what I hope will be the eventual end to ALL my problems (it won't, but a guy can dream) I've got a 30 year old pool that has a leak in one of the suction side lines under ground somewhere (Pic of pool attached for...

This would explain why my weekends are spent playing with cows You hit the nail on the head. Combine the lack of personal satisfaction from water with the "pet like" requirement for care/maintenance and you get something rare around these parts "Poolside Apathy" One thing I may have not...

Once the leak in my filter tank becomes something FlexSeal can't fix, and I replace it, I'm seriously considering converting over to SWG. Yes, I know those two things aren't mutually exclusive. I'd just rather invest in it all at once vs mixing new with old. If I'm gonna drop the amount of cash...

I can get 12.5% for $1.67/gal and I don't have to deal with all the plastic bottles I know, that's why it hurts me to hate the thing so much. I WANNA LOVE YOU but alas :(

Now, of course I click baited the title, but it's mostly true. Don't get me wrong, TFP and this community has made having a pool so much easier. I went from fighting with the dang thing for 2-3 hours per day, to now I follow the weekly schedule. You may ask, if you hate it so much, why do you...

Got my shiny gold badge! I've saved far more money than I expected thanks to this site, and supporting TFP was a no brainer way to spend some of that (after the pool beers of course)

Yea, I was just hoping maybe they stuck it in another place too. Thanks for all the help though.

That at least gives me a timeframe. First thing I checked for was the Serial Number. I was able to determine the manufacture date of my super pump using their tags. Do you happen to know if Hayward sticks those tags inside the tank (doubtful as it'd probably wear off quicker than outside)

It's dark out, so I can't get a great picture of it. However, of the 3 I found on google this is the smaller version, but looks identical I couldn't figure out the right word for it, it's certainly not aftermarket or "cheap plastic junk". All the spec sheets I found online have the model as...

I've recently taken over my elderly grandparents pool, and it's been fun! (kinda) They have every single piece of paperwork that they've gotten in their entire lives, except for the DE Filter. I have the records on the original filter from way back in 1984, but nothing on this Leslie...
