Can you share the brand of pool screen to have? I am not in Florida so I wouldn't be able to use your same installer, but I have been looking for something similar. Could you share more pics when you have time (showing how it is anchored to the ground, etc.). Thank you!!

Pic is attached. Your pad looks similar to mine. I remove the rubber drain plug from the pump basket and insert the silver adapter for my air compressor. It is a threaded connection so be careful.

I use an air compressor. I have an adapter that screws into the bottom of the pump basket and then I attach the air compressor to the adapter. What side you choose doesn't matter, as long as the pump basket lid is closed so that your air doesn't escape. I can take a picture of the adapter I...

[emoji15] [emoji46] [emoji50] [emoji51] Wow...but I don't blame you! I doubt I'd have the courage to ride out a hurricane after our experience with Hugo, and I'm about 5 hours from the coast. We were without power for a week and had lots of storm damage. I can't imagine dealing with it on a...

I am definitely not an expert by any means, but I have closed my pool by myself since it was built (May 2014). I have always closed with the salt water cell in place, and have had no issues. After I've cleared all the water from the lines and plugged the returns, I remove the cell and store it...

Check with your local schools to see if they have a 3D printer and would print them for you to buy. (We have one at my school and we are elementary level.) It is great practice for the students to get to design the item with the special software and then it is always fun to watch it print...

Re: The concept of closing an inground swimming pool Thank you. I've only blown out the main drain and did the air lock one year out of three...the other two times I just cleared the skimmer and return lines. I'm pretty paranoid about the skimmer getting water in it. I always dry it out with...

Re: The concept of closing an inground swimming pool Great post Catanzaro! Thanks! I am in NC and don't really have a need to blow out the main drain. Most people I know don't close at all, but I'm not comfortable with that in case we were to lose power for an extended time. A few hours of...

I have a leaf gulper vacuum that connects to a water hose. The back side is weighted down by the hose and the pole, but the opposite side floats up, making it very hard to vacuum. (Bad design IMO, but the concept of the vacuum itself is great for those of us with lots of trees.) I thought I...

Thank you James!

Do the amps vary for other cell types? That's a pretty wide range just for one cell type, but if so would you please list them? Thanks!

Check out this thread for an alternative to skimmer socks when you are ready to replace what you have. I used skimmer socks the first three years of ownership and would not go back now. ONE MORE TIME - Skimmer hair-nets ONE MORE TIME - Skimmer hair-nets

I've had that happen before when the "inside" pole gets dented. Mine had a very small dent but it was enough to make the pole stick. Once I finally got mine out again I know now just to leave it extended past where the dent is.

See this thread for more information on using hairnets instead of skimmer socks. I have used both and will never go back to the skimmer socks! ONE MORE TIME - Skimmer hair-nets

Ouch. You can buy neoprene padding on a roll in varying thickness. I've never used it for this purpose, but I would think it would work for what you are wanting. If you want something more permanent and are wanting to spend more money check with the gymnastics teachers in your area. When...

Yes it is correct; I checked that when I powered back up. I knew to check that because it has mysteriously changed before and I had to Google how to change it back to T-9. I would be lost on all these repairs without the help of the internet and the good people on here like you JamesW! Many...

Ok, now I understand! I followed the steps in the video and when I reinstalled the board it came back up at 2800, which is what it was when I turned it off. I reset the salt level on the display and it went to 3000. We'll see if it stays that way overnight. Thank you again!

Hayward rep said they won't send the part to me directly or I would definitely try that. ? Thanks for the suggestion though!

I have been having an issue with the display on my Hayward Aqua Rite SWG. It sometimes displays "nonsense" letters and numbers, all the lights will be on, it switches to metric measurements without me switching it (but I can switch it back), etc. Today it was a new problem...reading the salt...

Before you drain, I would test with the Taylor salt water drop kit. I've used the strips too and they consistently read lower than the drop kit.

[emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] I love it!!! You should head to Nashville with your song writing skills!

Yes, I have those and I recommend them to people also! Plus they sell them at the dollar stores! [emoji14]

This is great, thanks gary300!

Well, there's that, and also the HeeHaw version...[emoji23] George Jones Tammy Wynette Archie Campbell*****Where Oh Where Trio II - YouTube

I also insert mine inside the basket and then put my handle back on through the hairnet. I would love to get one of those "skimmer angels" that raises the handle up, but I would not want to take the handle on and off all the time since it attaches with screws. The only alternative I can think...

Ouch!! No...only 38.

I literally laughed out loud! Haha

I use the syringes too, except they will give them to you at CVS and other pharmacies...they are used to give meds to babies.

I agree tstex! I purchased mine on eBay, $5.75 for 100. I had previously used the hose type skimmer socks that are around $1.25 each. Wish I had known about these a few years ago!

I have this brush and love it! It is a great price compared to what I paid 2 years ago. According to camelcamelcamel, the lowest price was $16.09. I think I paid around $25 from WM (cheapest price at the time). I'm only in my 3rd year of being a pool owner so I have no idea how long brushes...
