Thanks for all your input! Ended up pulling the trigger on a Warrior Si from Margaret at Marina Pool, well she was on the other line, but the young man that assisted me was very knowledgable and helped me out. I gave local brick and mortar the opportunity to price match, but they declined...

Does anyone have experience with the XtremepowerUS 40K gallon SWG offered online by HomeDepot? Amongst other things I have to replace my SWG this season. Curious if anyone here has used this product, THANKS1

I AM BACK ON PRIME! I ended up changing the Jandy Stealth Pump Lid, Locking Ring and O-Ring. I also changed the key (handle) assembly on the Tagelus 100D sandfilter multi-port valve. WhaLa! Pump singing like a songbird and the water is flowing like Niagra Falls. Now back to Chemistry!

Pump is about 48 ft from the pool and there is no grade. Water is clearing up, but I am having to manually prime pump everyday. Pump pot/lid do not appear to be warped or disfigured in any way.

So I got home from work today and same thing, pump running and no prime. Primed the pump manually and put it running. Once pump on step and cycling water I cycled the pump on and off to clear some of the air from under the glass. After a couple of cycles I allowed the pump to run for a minute...

Water looks good. Alot of rain recently so a little cloudy but chems look ok. I associated the cloudiness to the pool pump not running and filtering the water. I can still see the bottom clearly. Only see the cloudiness with light on at night or in direct sunlight. Now that pump is primed I...

Re: Adding Borax to reach recommended level and think I created more trouble for myse Filter pressure has always been about 23psi, which seems high but even after backwashing till clear, it seems to stay 21 to 23. I usually backwash when pressure gets to 24. This morning I went out to the...

When I got home today at 4pm, my wife tells me the water is not moving in the pool like normal. Upon inspection, pump running and no water movement in the view window of the pump filter. Remove filter cover and smoke escaped, water inside hot (did have direct sun exposure). Primed the filter...
