Is that a common issue? I guess I will have to get it checked or risk collapse possible?

Yes there are wrinkles. It was installed by an installer originally. These spots just showed recently. It is just like seepage. I cannot get in pool due to issues. I will se if I can get someone to do leak test. Is there a possibility the wall is compromised? I am just afraid of what...

My pool is 12-13 years old and is 15x30, I think it was Buster Crabbe model (Store out of business). I saw a little rust spot on the side and when I touched it there is like seepage. We had lots of rain but I am a little concerned. I am talking just a drop. The liner was an upgraded little...

My pentair aqualuminator bulb went out and I found a pooltone replacement led bulb? The pooltone is led and in speaking to a vendor it just pops in just like the existing and can use existing power. Any feedback would be appreciated. Also wondering if it is bright to light the pool and if the...

Last Season I had to get a new pump/filter setup and went with 1hp Hayward Sand S180. All was good I thought. The Pump/Motor are stored in a shed for the winter and used maybe 4 months out of year. When I started it up there is a whining for a few seconds then stops, like a chirp. Then...

I am replacing my Hayward sand filter S190 with S180. In the bottom the installer added pea pebbles over the laterals. What was reason for that and should I do it? My local pool store who I bought it from said I need not do the pea pebbles. I can save them and add them to new filter but not...

Would the matrix be preferred over the powerflo lx? Also will downsizing to the 1 hp filter better or worse with sand? I realize the flow rate is different and I am hard piped.

What happened was the flex pvc that attaches to the pump broke at the black pvc thread in adapter on the pump when we were away from home. The water dumped all over the motor, the pool drained to the skimmer level. The GFCI tripped at some point. So I don’t know how long it may have ran dry...

My pump/filter is about 14,years old and had a screaming bearing for a few years after a line broke and flooded it. I have Hayward s190tscp dreamline with. a 1.5 hp powerflo lx motor/pump for 15x30 agp which is about 10000 gallons. The motor and pump winter inside so the rust puzzles me and...

My local store has been in contact with Maytronics so progress is being made, and they are talking about changing out the pump. I am waiting to hear back. I still don't think that will solve the problem of it doing a hard turn in reverse (previously it was an arc), Now I noticed the power...

Cleaning the hair out did help, it is still riding a mini wheelie forward where the brush is slightly above the liner, but when it goes backwards it still goes in an arc direction. Going forward it is ok. I almost feel as those the treads are out of line causing the arc in in direction. Like...

I have an Active 10 I had for a few months so it is under warranty which I prefer not to void.. It has been acting odd lately and not sure what to do as I need it for another month or so. First I saw last night where there was some long hair around the impeller, not much but it was there and...

I got my ultra fine basket yesterday. I must have a newer model Active 10. The basket was an exact fit with no removal of parts required, even though the instructions showed it. My Active 10 already had a plastic grid/motor guard in place, so I did not install the one in the box. so after the...

Thanks I will order the ultra fine tomorrow. I had a rover for 8 or 9 and it died. I was just concerned when the tracks spin against the liners when going reverse. Forward is fine as it goes vertical and comes down. I have agp oval with steel sides but there is really no coving. So when the...
