I’m going from my one speed Super pump to 1.5 Pentair VS pump. My question is, as u can see in the photos my old pump had the bonding wire connected to two places on the pump. One st the bonding lug and the other was attached to that metal pipe. I’m not sure why the builder added that metal pipe...

I may have some algae, I thought it was pollen on the bottom but maybe not. I noticed my salt cell barely making chlorine so I added a bunch of chlorine and checked stabilizer.

‘‘This is the first year I opened my IG pool myself. I have a question about my Hayward super pump. After it runs and then turns off I notice the next day when it turns on that if I look inside the pump cover the pump has to prime itself and the water has to fill up under the lid of the filter...

I am asking this question for a friend. My pool is a vinyl pool so obviously this question does not pertain to me. My buddy lives in RI and has a fairly large IG concrete I assume gunite pool. It's 20x40 and 12 feet deep in the deep end. He said its about that time to resurface the pool. The...

I started lowering the water below skimmers in IG pool. I then was like i should check the ph and it was high around 8. Was going to add some muriatic acid by then thought how can i recirculate if water is below skimmer? I figured i could just set the pump to recirculate instead of filter and...
