    Fall Maintenance

    Gotcha, so the assumption that both exit and return through bio matter (leaves) 24/7 doesn't break down and create algae. Great to know. I'll get this thing slam(d). Appreciate the time and help.

    Fall Maintenance

    Greetings! I have a 20x40 hybrid inground pool and on my second year abandoning the cover in the south east. This pool has only one return and one skimmer. Both are used non-stop with pool skim on return (life saver) and original poolvergnuegen with giant leaf canitster on skimmer. With both...

    In pool Return diverter valve

    @needsajet I appreciate the time and post! I found a pvc pipe that has a screw cap in the middle. I think I can modulate "water leakage" using this and will report back after I get my 1 1/2 male eblow from online.

    In pool Return diverter valve

    I only have one return and one skimmer in a 20x40 70's hybrid pool. I was able to conjur up a way to get a 1 1/2 inch female threaded quick release connection on my not so standard return jet for hooking up poolskims and pool cooling sprinklers etc. With only one return I'm wanting to be able...

    Shock Stains bottom of pool yellow

    I messed up. I always use liquid chlorine to get my chlorine levels up so my swg can take it from there. I've used shock before but always in deep end. Teach me please! Any remedies?

    Shock Stains bottom of pool yellow

    I have the dreadfully unique hybrid pool with concrete bottom and fiberglass sides. I chose last winter to paint, even after doing my research and understanding the consequences. I understand I'm just starting my second season and time will tell but so far I've been thrilled with Industrial...

    Diy Inline pool Canister

    Still interested in this but I did find that the Jacuzzi Large Leaf Canister Pool Cleaning Attachment WP010 is absolutely massive compared to the hayward W560. It might just do the trick.

    Diy Inline pool Canister

    Anyone ever successfully built their own inline leaf canister? I have the hayward w560 and it would be nice if it had larger capacity. I have bought a 90mil 4.25 bucket with gamma seal, uniseals on each end that works great until the pool pump starts sucking in the sides of the bucket. If i...

    Pooldevil Pro Leaf Skimmer Replacement Hose...

    What did you find out about the replacement hose? Mine is still good but this thing will need some hacks to keep alive. Thinking about getting a small stainless steel hose clamp or plastic clamp to keep the hose on the 90 elbow side so it stops flying off when the pump timer kicks over.
