We have a Waterway sand filter and the motor seized the other day. It's about 8 years old. Our pressure gauge went kaput a few years back as well. We just replaced the sand this year and other than the pressure gauge going out, the filter has performed well. Should we just we replace the motor...

Hi all, We have a 15x30 AGP, 13000 gal. We had our cover rip this year in February and dumped some leaves etc. into it. It still covered most of the pool but finally, the cover was removed in late March, early April. My question basically is this. The water, of course, is slowly turning...

Thanks!
