    Replacing cartridges

    Yup those are the part #s I have. I have been looking at the pool supply world site a bunch today. :p Bignick- thanks for that website! I had no idea that was an option. I think it would be great for me, I haven't cleaned my current filters like I should because I can't move them on my own...

    Replacing cartridges

    Yes, I found both part numbers listed at pool supply world. My only concern is when I click on them it says they go to different model numbers than what I have. I am thinking if the part numbers are right tho they should fit. Does that seem reasonable?

    Replacing cartridges

    Hey Pat! I actually did call them first and they said the part numbers brought up the other model numbers just like I found online. She said they didn't have info on the model I have. I thought maybe it was a discontinued model so that's why I called the builder next.

    Replacing cartridges

    Hey All! I am looking at replacing the cartridges on my sta-rite system 3 model s8m600 filter. My problem is when I look up the part numbers from the owners manual they a show up as being for the s8m500 or s8m150 model. I couldn't find much info on the filter model itself either so I called the...

    I got too excited when the darn thing started working and didn't record the pressure. It's sitting at 28 psi now tho. I use liquid chlorine and have a Taylor test kit, thanks to TFP, but I haven't been a good pool owner and so it has languished on the shelf. I have new reagents on the way to me...

    Need help with equipment

    So I went to get a new o ring before I saw your post and I was standing in line playing with the old one I found little tiny cracks in it. I didn't realize I needed to stretch it a bit to see the cracks. I guess I thought it would be more obvious. Anyway I got a new one and replaced it and it...

    Hi Gene! I will try out isolating the water features with the three way valve. The box it is sitting on looks "electrical" to me so I was afraid to touch it. And I will have another look at the leaf vac lid. My leaf vac does not fill completely with water. The basket stays full but it does not...
