Any pics of how you put together this cover contraption? Sounds intriguing and looking for a good solution!

oh boy i was actually replacing it with Clorox---are you saying that one is no good now as well?

ok i'll give that a shot...thanks as always for your help Richard!

Hey guys i typically buy all my bleach at Target--the house brand Up & Up. When i went to buy it last week, it looks like their base concentrated bleach now has a different label. It says "Concentrated Bleach with Fabric Protection" I'm not sure if anything change or not, but I wonder if I...

Ok so a little heat from a hair dryer did the trick on that connection to my filter! Still working on skimmer but now have another few leaks coming from connector linking my pump to the skimmer—see below (I marked in red where it is leaking) 3 D0224 E9 729 C 4 C6 C 922 D 239 E6583 F73 E —...

That's a sweet setup! Thanks for the inspiration! - - - Updated - - - Great intel, does sound like it could be a pain. I might try it for a season or two to see if it makes a difference. Thanks!

Hmm, ok so i guess, i can just forget about the clamp then--no need for it? Is there any sort of sealant that might work in this case? I'll give the blow dryer a shot. Thanks!

Gotya--thanks Richard

Hmm..was it a nuisance Richard? Are these covers the weight of a normal pool cover?

Thanks a lot guys. I'll give the bubble cover a shot. I see the reels too, which I imagine makes life easier when trying to put the cover on and off. Is there a way to do this with the setup I have with the deck? I imagine the cover reel ends going across the middle of the pool, but then i...

Hey guys just started opening my above ground pool today. I've got a pretty furious leak at the connector hose that's going to the top of my sand filter. I took a video of the leak to help. Any ideas what to do here? I've re-tightened, re-adjusted, heated, etc...

Hey guys--four year pool owner here, and I've decided that my pool is just too cold. There's partial shade over my house, albeit with some sun, but I'd like to try to get the water a bit warmer. I have an 18' x 24' oval above ground pool with a connected deck. See picture here...

I upgraded my cover to the ultimate pool cover this year. For some reason however the water is accumulating on top of the cover. I thought it was supposed to drain into the pool? See image below 2 D48 CA72 3459 46 B6 BDE7 D8 CDF4 A2 DE9 E — imgbb.com

why do you need to replace every year?

Hello there, trying to get ahead of the curve this year. I've owned this above ground pool (see picture below) for three years now and every year it's the same story--when I go to open the pool, the cover is filled with debris, water, leaves etc and it is impossible to get it all off the cover...

I bought one of the 'Diver Dan' automatic Hayward pool vacs about three years ago. At first it seemed to work OK, nothing really impressive, but the past few years it has gotten to the point where the thing isn't even moving when i hook it up to the skimmer. Not sure if I'm just doing...

got it --thanks. last question i promise--the hose --should I be putting sealant on the connection between the hose and that connector (on the ball valve)-- i saw someone heating it up on another video, not sure if that's enough?

thinking its just this right? https://www.amazon.com/Hayward-SPX1091Z4-Replacement-Automatic-Skimmers/dp/B004VTGNJ8/ref=pd_sim_86_1?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B004VTGNJ8&pd_rd_r=0RJ3E821ARVRTHFC00TA&pd_rd_w=SsfNq&pd_rd_wg=JfCca&psc=1&refRID=0RJ3E821ARVRTHFC00TA

thanks richard---not really much of a plumber so a whole new PVC setup might be out of question for me--i guess maybe just replace what's there? does this look like same part? also not sure what that other white connector is on the left? do you think i need a new black hose too? SP0723S -...

So I did put a second clamp on and while it slowed the leak a bit it is still coming out. Not leaking when pump is running but when it stops there's like a gurgling noise where the leak is.

Thanks Richard!

hi guys--installed a new pump and all is good except for a pretty noticeable leak at the connector to the pool pump (from the skimmer). See pic below: pool leak — imgbb.com water is dripping fairly heavily right at the seal between the black hose and the white adapter. I didn't put any...

hi guys i just bought a new hi-flow pump and the think came in pieces so i need to put it together. the gasket that connects the motor to the trap that look Waterway Gasket, 2 Union (711-4010) - INYOPools.com do i need to just let this sit against the motor connection--or am i supposed to be...

Alright good point. my only thinking was on the warranty. I'm sure once i chop off the cord, all bets are off.

thanks joe!

Awesome great analogy! Curious is buying a twist lock adapter completely out of the question?

ok thanks danpik you guys are giving me some good electrical lessons! so you mentioned that I can just swap out a new plug on the new pump and I should be good to go. But joegolan mentioned that the new pump is probably not rated for 20A and I need to change the receptacles and the breaker...

Thanks. So I guess if I understand this right the cord for pump has to have the same rating (20a) as my receptacle? Would it easier for me to find a pump with a cord that is rated for 20a? Is there an easy way to do this?

thanks danpik. Took a look at my fuse box and didn't see anything labeled for the pool. Ugh. I was going to purchase this pump 1.5 hp 2-Speed 3450/1725 RPM, 115V Above Ground Pool Pump - Waterway # PH2150-6 and replace the standard plug with an l5-20 twist lock. It's same voltage (115v)...

Hi guys looking for a twist lock timer similar to this one: https://www.amazon.com/Intermatic-P1131-Heavy-Ground-Receptacle/dp/B003NVLWMS/ref=sr_1_1?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1495499213&sr=1-1&keywords=twist+lock+timer I would buy this but the reviews say it is only rated for something 1HP and under...
