Electrical tape. Works great.

If you have a cartridge filter it should be oversized. Way oversized. 1.5 to 2 times the recommended size. With an oversized filter you should only be cleaning it 2 to 3 times per year. More than 3 times a year and you need a larger filter or you are getting a lot of stuff in the pool. My...

Most building codes prohibit a grill or an egg under a roof structure without a hood. An anonymous call to your local building inspector is probably in order to find out what is required in your community.

So that's a way around the Maytronics no warranty on internet sales policy. And a strong point for Dohney's.

Turning off the breaker for the pad should kill all the power. BUT double check with a tester in the GFCI. Or just insert the plug from a lamp and see if there is power.

So lets go run around in the bushes here and explain some things. Doheny's Discovery is apparently manufactured by Maytronics but not sold buy them to the consumer market. It is my understanding that the warranty you receive is not from Maytronics but from Doheny. Yes its true that Maytronics...

Maytronics is very very clear. There is no warranty if the product is purchased online. You would only have a warranty from SunPlay.

Most manufacturers have a bonding lug attached to the wall. That single bond lug is compliant on a AGP under NEC 680.26(B)(7). Because it's not a gunite pool with a rebar cage it doesn't have to comply with the four connections between pool shell and perimeter bond wire or grid requirement in...

There are no LED strip lights that I am aware of that can be installed within five feet of a pool. Everything installed within five feet of a pool must be "listed" by UL or another testing agency. I know of no LED strip lights that are. There are several small LED pool lights that will work...

Again these light fixtures are not considered repairable. I'm not there so I can't be sure what you have or what you did. You need to understand that low voltage lights do not have GFCI protection. While there may be a GFCI outlet or breaker upstream it only provides protection up to the...

You only bond the metal parts of a AGP. So for a resin sidewall there is no bonding. Metal verticals and a metal top plate should be bonded as should the water and a copper # 8 wire run around the pool as specified in the Code.

Any calculation based on measuring the pool dimensions is a guesstimate at best. What level are we talking about 1/2 up the tile line? While the method Kim suggests is not perfect doing the test several times can get you to within 500 gallons which is well within the tolerances for chemical...

How old is it? You most likely need a rebuild. Zodiac Polaris 360 Factory Rebuild Kit (9-100-9060) - INYOPools.com

I would go talk to another company. I have solar on north and south facing roofs in Sacramento. Plus trees. There is no doubt I don't get as much of a season extension as they talk about but from May through September and even into October there are days when I get great performance. I like...

Warning: For most Lordcore's suggestion above willl not work and will usually create a mess. The light cable conduit is usually flooded. It's designed that way. If he had a problem pulling wire it's probably because someone plugged the conduit. Generally you do not want to dig down and cut...

I do not want to confuse things here. In the first post you say a GFCI breaker ( circuit breaker in a panel with a test button). In your last post you say a GFCI outlet (an electrical outlet with a test and rest button). Those are different things. Is it a GFCI breaker or outlet...

I think Clown is on the correct track here. In addition to what he suggests you should probably go back and check that all the connections are tight. Because this runs off a breaker you have to check (as Clown points out) everything on the circuit. Both hot and neutral. Look and make sure...

We are talking cantilevered deck correct? Or just powered on place coping over the bond beam? Unless you do a lot of pool coping or a cantilevered decks getting your crew to do it right is time consuming so it's hard to get right and make money. I suspect that's the reason. Pouring behind...

As a general rule you want to install the sure protection as close to the equipment protected as possible. So its better to have one in the panel next to the pump.

Post a picture or a few would be better. Is the pool 42 inches or more deep? Is there a retaining wall that holds soil back? In general the idea is that all surfaces just outside the pool are at the same electrical potential as the pool water. So if you are standing anywhere outside the pool...

Because the damage is cosistant and I see no other signs of heaving l have to agree there may not be enough water in the pool.

There are plenty of pools like you describe and many much more radical. They may require custom engineering but that is surprisingly inexpensive. A properly constructed gunite pool doesn't rely much on the surrounding soil for lateral support. Last year there was a pool on here that was on the...

I have Fafco panels installed by a dealer (Sierra Pacific). Love them. Work great even though my house has a lousy orientation to the sun and have trees on three sides. Because on my orientation they don't extend the season as much. They are controlled by my Jandy automation.

Its not that there was too much settling or uneven settling or whatever. Its that the contractor is using a procedure to install the pool that is just flat wrong. You don't put a jack under a fiberglass pool with water in it. The question then becomes not whether it will rupture but when will...

Call Inyo pools. 407 834 2200. They will determine the correct gasket over the phone.

Some more pictures would be good. Your installer was using the jack with water in the pool? I strongly doubt that is the manufacturers installation method. Did they level the pool with a laser level while still attached to the crane? I think this is all on your installer. Hopefully he has...

You are correct, you either need a separate timer with an outlet for 110 or get a 240 pump. I'm not sure what timer you have so it may be possible to run the pump from it but that requires installing an outlet to plug the pump into. The 110 has a hot, neutral and ground, very likely black...

First. Why is there a crack there? Is is a original compression crack that has been there a long time? Or is the crack caused by something else? Filling and covering the cracks may be a short term solution if the cause of the cracking is unresolved. If the cracks are not level then you have...

What are we concerned about here? Water from the pool? Water coming off the slope onto the pool deck? I too would like come overall pictures. I would have some sort of perforated drain/ french drain behind the wall to de-water that. I'm really no fan of deck o drain and the like. They...

I would get at least three concrete refinish guys out there and talk about what they could do with some pictures. It appears the deck is not level. Did the deck sink or the pool rise?
