Water levels are all normal. I have two suction lines, the skimmer and a separate line for the cleaner. I don't see anything abnormal with either one.

So I go out to my pool this morning to check on things, and the pump is running, but there is no water flow at all. I go over and turn the pump off and open up the leaf catcher in the pump and the water is really hot. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.

Went down to Copper State Bolt and Nut and got the same nuts (304 quality), lock washers, and washers as are in the SR Smith kit. Instead of paying $100 or so for the SR Smith kits, I paid $8.76.

SR Smith responded to my request for information on the hardness or classification of the nuts. They didn't respond to my request directly and just said to buy the kit.

Yes, it is three nuts, three regular washers, three lock washers, three nylon washers, and three plastic caps. With tax and shipping they are close to $100. I messaged the manufacturer.

So I am replacing my diving board (SR Smith Frontier II) and my bag with my bolt kit for attaching the base to the three bolt jig has been lost (kids!). So I need to get a new kit for bolting down the base. Looking at the kit (S.R. Smith 69-209-033-SS), they just look like regular bolts and...

Thank you.

I am installing a new diving board and was wondering what people think is the best anti-seize lubricant for the bolts? Thanks.

Yes, it's back up.

Just want going to look at getting some new testing supplies and the tftestkits.net page doesn't come up. I try to load it and it says "This page not working." Maybe it's just a momentary blip, but thought I'd mention it.

Thanks for the info on the various systems. What is a reasonable install price for one of these, roughly?

Thanks. Our single speed pump is actually pretty old and I've been thinking of going to a VSP one of these days. Is there any advantage in going to a VSP and doing the SWCG system at the same time?

Hi, with the cost of chlorine going up, could someone tell me the rough cost of an SWCG system? Thanks.

Thanks!

I need to get a new screw to hold the pool light in place (underwater). So I didn't think and just grabbed a screw I had in the garage and it started rusting right away. So I just wanted to ask what kind of coating or screw type would be good for underwater to avoid rusting? Thanks.

I used the cellulose fiber for a couple years and finally gave up on it. I found it very hard and at times impossible to backwash and get it out, so I was having to break down the filter a lot more often to clean it. I really like the idea of having a DE alternative, but the cellulose just...

I've had trouble with my older FNS filter leaking around the joint and have replaced the gasket. My is an older unit, at least 9 years old and probably a bit more than that. My leak was minimal and stopped a few weeks after the last time I closed it up and I haven't opened up the unit now for...

We're looking at replacing our current DE filter with a cartridge filter. We were already thinking of going that way as the DE filter is old and we don't want the DE buildup in the yard. Now we're getting chickens who will be in the yard and we don't want the DE exposure for chickens if it...

Got one ordered from INYO.

Sounds good. Thanks. And Happy Easter!

I had seen those mentioned elsewhere. I see they have an 8 inch listed. For sizing, would I got with the 8 inch or one of the slightly smaller ones, given my opening is just over 8 inches? Thanks.

So, I was reading another thread and there was discussion of how important weir doors are, and I've never had one since we bought this house and pool a number of years ago. The skimmer cover is long gone and there are no identifying marks I can find anywhere on the skimmer. There are two pegs...

I guess I have a bit of a higher standard of dialogue than this message board. Lols, save $5 on chlorine remark, comments that don't show any grasp of the differences in different chemicals, and pretending chlorine is something that has no concern as to the level of exposure, etc. aren't my...

I'll make a point of not sharing unpopular viewpoints or experiences on TPF again. Point taken. I figured people would be a bit more respectful that I was just sharing my experience, without advocating anything. My mistake.
