Good idea, if it will make the turns.

The Jacuzzi works ok.

About zero to 3 PSI. 6 weeks. tanks.

Geez, this is making me weary. I had my pool down for about six weeks. Broke the Hayward core getting it loose, bought a new one ($300 **.) Fixed some decorative sub-surface tiles **. Cleaned the filter housing carefully; took off the vent valve and cleaned it, etc., Being, as Buggs da...

I have an Ortega valve on my pool. Before I took it apart, I remembered the nightmares I had last time and decided to mark the shafts so I could easily remember the orientation against the lever to turn it. The *(O^%*^ thing is buried in concrete, and getting down to work on it is not easy on...

Well, sheesh. This is taking for-evah. I am having lots of back problems and not feeling so very very hot. I live in the Sunny People's Republik of Southern Kalifornia. My pool is still empty from Thanksgiving weekend. To the pint: I had a small, perhaps 18" section of glass pulling up...

I ordered a DEX6000DC (new grid cluster assy.#) from SOS pools for about $264 plus reasonable shipping (found it fronted by sears by same firm for ~$317); this is the best price I found: http://sospoolsupplies.com/hayward_pro-grid_filter_element_cluster_dex6000dc/heater_parts/170_0_62_119/3891/...

Tanks for all of your inputs. mac

ITEM ONE: I haven't had my Hayward Progrid DE6020 filter apart for several years; I have back issues and couldn't catch somebody to help me remove it. Last time I paid a pretty dependable pool tech to clean it, and he apparently din't clean or lube the output elbow o-ring, thus the removal...

Thanks for your prompt replies. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I thought about that -- how strong it would be. How big a deal is it to replace a section of coving, assuming that ___ I can even find a replacement? ___ I don't care about the color. I care about the fit. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Where does one go to...

I did a stoo-pid and broke some coving off my pool. I saved the pieces; now that it's empty I would like to repair it. I am concerned that if I use either grout or epoxy of some kind, I may not be able to get the pieces all the way in -- it is a perty tight fit. Suggestions? tx mac...

I had to drain the water from my fiber-glassed, in ground ~15K gallon gunnite pool. The glass and tiles in question are approximately 14 years old. The tiles are under water, and set flush into a recess in the glass in strips one tile high. Inspection of about 50' of ~3/4" tile strips showed...

As expected. Thanks. Any special tricks to cleaning up before (or after?) the stuff sets?

I've had to empty my ~15K gallon gunnite/glass pool to replace the water. It had so much sodium in it that I was concerned that I couldn't use it for drinking water in an emergency, and the phosphorous and CYA were off the charts (din't have much trouble keeping the algae out, tho -- just used...

BORAX: This looks like an excellent way to raise PH. WallyMart, Costco and Target had none. I finally found it at Ralph's and Stater Brothers for about $4 for a 76 oz box here in the People's Socialist Republik of Southern Kalifornia [henceforth: PSRSK.] This is still waaaaay cheaper than...

While I have a 'technical' background, I've been giving the old hole in the ground a minimum amount of attention. The hundreds of bucks spent on phosphate chemicals led me on a search for a higher degree of enlightenment. Sheesh. Should have paid for lap dances. Here we are! Love this...
