hi - I got some falling tiles at the top of the tile line and behind them are large missing pieces of concrete that the tile would ideally stick onto. I bought some hydralic concrete to fill in these large gaps but not sure if this is the right product to use. Can you advise if this is correct...

Hi All, I replaced my pump motor with the exact same 1Hp model: A.O. Smith 1 HP, 56Y Frame, Up-Rate Motor (B2853) I noticed that the impeller that was on the old pump was a rated for 1/2 hp - 3/34 hp (Impeller, C105-92ps Sta-rite (c105-92ps)) so I bought an impeller and diffuser that was...

thanks- The replacements don't seem to have the Capacitor mounted on top like my original - does this matter?

Hi All, Trying to find a replacement pump motor but the info on my pump stickers has faded away - well most of it. I have narrowed it down to Century Centurion or Sta-Rite...I think.. I was hoping that someone could identify the make and model if I posted some pics. thanks!

It seems like ever since I had my pool replastered about 5 years ago I have had problems with black algae...Is there a way to kill it permanently by draining the pool?

Yes - you are right....I do have 240 there so I just changed the switch at the back of the motor and all is well now - thank you

I have a PB4-60 Polaris Booster Motor....I am replacing the motor but I cannot get the impeller to back off when I hold the motor shaft at the rear of the motor. I don't understand why if won't thread off - it wasn't installed tightly. I put a lot of force on it and it won't budge...confused

Yes - the switch on the back of the motor arrived in the 240V position so I moved it to 120V since I am in the USA...I bought a 2nd motor and I am having the exact same issue with it too.

This is a new motor that I just replaced (booster pump)...I can see the shaft spinning for those 5 seconds but then it cuts off on its own...Motor feels hot to the touch....the Motor clicks after about a minute and then it will let me turn it back on...but it shuts down after 5 seconds again...

Hello, my Polaris booster motor died so I bought a replacement however they are not the same motors. The 2 seals that came with it are not the same size either. I am willing to reuse my old seals but was wondering if I can even use this replacement motor (it seems to have the same electrical...

Polaris Booster Pump Motor B625 is humming away. I tried: Replacing the start capacitor ( same specs) Hitting the sides of the motor Spinning the shaft while the motor is humming. Shaft spins easily. I removed all the wires from the motor and then plugged them back in Which leads (wire...

How hard it is to replace these on your own? How would you even get the old ones out, cut the deck?

Yes - Trench Drain looks the same

My house went through a large hail storm and so the insurance adjuster came out and listed the strip drains on the pool deck as being damaged by hail. My pool was built in 1980 and has old, white , cracked strip drains. My contractor is telling me that these are no longer available , and since...

Hi - I have noticed that the hose floats will not stay in the original position - they will slide down the hose and bunch up. Is the only solution to replace the entire hose (because it is not providing enough grip for the floats)? thanks

I have read the leak detection article here but I think its time to hire a pro. Can you recommend a good company in the Dallas area? thanks

I am actually trying to find a leak and wanted to cross this off the possibility list...

Hi I replaced my light fixture and cord and want to seal up the cord light conduit at the hole in the niche. I bought some JB Weld WaterWeld epoxy putty (Home Depot). (I still have water in the pool). I kneaded it up and then proceeded to push it into the conduit hole...... IT WON'T STICK...

I tried the Vitamin C tablet against it and it did not affect it. I lose quite a bit of chlorine at night so that is why I was thinking it could be algae. The pool looks great but the walls and floor do feel slippery to the touch. When I brush the pool I can always see "dust " from my brush stroke.

Hi Folks, I have had some small dark spots in the shallow end for about one month now. They won't come off when brushing with a metal algae brush so I got a mask, snorkel and pumice stone and went to work on them individually. I noticed that these dots looked more brown than black to me. - even...

I got new plaster 15 months ago...Before I had it done my old surface had orange looking stains on the floor - kinda where the floors meets the walls - almost all the way around. I am now seeing these stains again and am pretty sure that they are not new ones - but are the old ones showing...

My plaster is less than 1 year old. I have been keeping the FC at about a 15 level - (30 CYA) - for about 4 days now - and brushing pretty frequently. These are pics right after having brushed the spots with an algae brush. I have seen some of the little black heads that people talk about. And...

I can't quite read the old label on it - faded. I haven't been able to find any info online about it as well. Here is what I can read: American Products Model R 400 8C 120V Bulb Type: G 30 I want to replace the entire light with an exact replacement- not sure which one to buy because I can't...
