Replaced the lateral assembly in the sand filter. Will be posting photos of that soon. During that project, decided to redo some plumbing. I've got some lines that are a bit too long making for some less than stable connections to the pump and over all instability. I'm thinking this may have...

I got the new lights yesterday! Florida Sun Seeker got these to me from deep Florida to Oklahoma City in 5 days! They were great to deal with. The lights are now installed. I'll take some photos tonight and post soon.

Awesome! Thank you for the scheme! I have called my local hayward dealer and they say they can have it in for tomorrow pickup. I have to replace the entire lateral assembly which is likely for the best. So I'm now removing the sand to a tarp and will go from there. Grrrrrrrr! Pool life is...

So I opened the sand filter for a deep clean and the stand pipe is broken/cracked. Now I know why I haven't achieved my pool dreams yet this year. So can I replace just the standpipe? I guess I'm gonna have to take all the sand out. Grrrrrrr

Got Lucky. Local pool store had a used case that is the exact model match. Case was just cracked. So that chore is done. Now I've found a bigly problem with my sand filter. Sigh...

Hello, My pump just bit the dust. Please help me decide on a replacement. I'm not up on the latest and greatest. I am replacing a Sta Rite Max E Pro 2 HP. I'd like to go with a two speed if possible. My budget is up to $1000ish but spending less would be nice. My pool is 60,000 gallons...

I close my pool for the winter as we are prone to get several long freezes. I've just ordered new pricey LED color changing lights from Florida Sun Seeker. Is there any benefit to removing the lights and storing them indoors over the winter? I'd like to prolong the life of these new lights.

I ordered new pool lights from Florida Sun Seeker. I got the LED color changing type that fit my Swim Quip cans. Tracking says they will be delivered this Saturday by USPS. The customer service at Florida Sun Seeker has been fantastic and I'm excited to try these. I've only ever had basic...

It's the new normal. Woo Hoo!!!

My pool eats stabilizer too! So weird.

Oh yeah. The guy that goes up with the rope harness is a true athlete. I can just imagine the bugs they deal with while doing it too.

$5,200. Stump grinding and all. They did a good job. Had about 8 guys here. All with different parts of the job. This crew has the big truck with the bucket lift, a chipper, a skid steer, a grinder, a dump truck, all the equipment. Fast and efficient. I was expecting $12,000, so when he...

I washed all the pool towels from over the weekend, cleared the decks of all cloth items such as pillows and chair covers, put the cover on the smoker, and took down the flag all in preparation for a two day rain event. Sigh... Oh, and today the tree service completely took out five 60 foot...

We hardly ever use ours as well. In fact, I estimate that the one that just went out has less than 10 hours on it. And yes, they do attract bugs! We enjoy the look of the lights, but I am pretty tired of the hassle. If I could find some that last several years like they're supposed to I'd be...

I am looking at their website now. Thank you!
