Thanks @setsailsoon & @Stump. Silly question for you, if I use that TFE paste, will I be able to unscrew the adapter if needed in the future? Or does it work like PVC cement where it's pretty much permanent? Also, @setsailsoon I noticed when I was priming and gluing the pipe to one end of the...

Hi, I had my pump strainer basket broke so I replaced it and did the plumbing job myself to repair the plumbing and add in unions so it would be easier to repair in the future. I did a pretty shoddy job, but it lasted through this past summer thanks to Flex Seal (lol, I know) The Flex Seal is...

Wow! Awesome! I love this place! Thanks everyone!

Sure! Give me a bit, I’ll post something.

Thanks for the response. I believe the place where the bonding wire connects to the pool pump is what broke.

Hi all, I was repairing my strainer housing that broke on my Pentair Dynamo pump and I was just about done and I noticed what appeared to be something electrical broke off. See picture. Curious if this would be safe to turn on my pool pump or what this even is? Some kind of ground wire or...

Thank you. I will look into those. Aaron

Yep, Pentair just replied to me with that same answer. Thanks!

The date on the pump is 11/26/2018. I have emailed Pentair to see if it's under warranty. Thanks for all the help! Aaron

Yea that's what I was thinking, maybe I could get a warranty or something... I'll see if I can find the date... Thanks for the idea. Aaron

No I don't lubricate the gasket every time I take it off and yes I only hand tighten the cover. Thank you for the tip about leaving the pump running when it's going to drop below freezing. I'll start doing that. Thanks Aaron

Thank you! Do you think it broke from the water freezing and expanding in the strainer? Or from something else? I want to avoid it breaking in the future. My pool is less than two years old.

Hi Everyone, I went out to try and backwash my pool this morning after some heavy rains we've had I couldn't get the water to suck up to backwash... So then I tried filtering and couldn't get anything going there either... I started looking around and I noticed that a small piece that the...

Hi all, I am first year pool owner and I have gotten my pool in good working order, but there is another issue that I have noticed that I am trying to take care of. We are starting to have pretty bad erosion around our pool pump and filter base. See attached images. I was curious if anyone...
