Hello everyone, my heater took a dump and my home warranty company has approved a new heater. The company that is doing the install is saying a new heater will require a line of at least 1.25" as I currently have a 3/4" line going into the current heater. Does anyone know someone they could...

I've always gone somewhere and have paid to have my taxes done, I guess more or less for the peace of mind that it was done right. Last year someone filed taxes in our names (wife and I), we did everything we were supposed to do, contacted everyone that needed to be notified and ended up getting...

For xmas the wifey got me a new Masterbuilt 30" electric smoker, when I 1st started considering this smoker I came across multiple home made beef jerky recipes. I basically picked and chose ingredients and methods and basically kind of came up with my own. For the 1st attempt I didn't want...

I bought my current house about 1 year ago, the previous owners installed a sun room, there is one corner where the sun room meets grass on the outside and there is a sprinkler there that basically pools water after the sprinklers run. I've tried to "patch" it by adding grass seed/fertilizer to...

I've been in my house for about 10 months now, the gardener that the previous owners were using came on board as soon as we moved in. In the past few months, I've started to re-think his services because all he literally does is, cut the grass, trim and do a little clean up. He rarely touches...

I noticed tonight my pump is leaking from the top area: Is this fixable? I cant tell if the water is coming from the threads, it doesn't looked cracked.

I have a primary pump (Pentair Whisperflo, WFE-4) that is used for the filtration system, I have a secondary pump (Hayward SP2815X20) that is used for the blower and the jets in the Jacuzzi, I have holes on the floor of the jacuzzi and jets on the wall, I can control this pump and both jets...

So, I've noticed that in between the "ribs" of some of the sections of my hose (bought house 6 months ago and hose was left by p.o.) there is green algae. Over the weekend I disconnected one section and tried to brush it off, but it seems like to do that to the entire hose it would be a...

So, my "usual" Sunday is either smoking something or grilling something for dinner, yesterday I decided on some baby backs and whole corn: 1st I start by removing the membrane from the back of the rack, they say if you're good, you can remove the whole piece all together: With ribs, I...

So, I go outside to brush the pool down and I flip the both pool and spa light, then they shut off........ok, weird. The pool light will stay on and doesn't trip the GFCI........turn that off and turn the spa light on and almost a second later it trips the GFCI every time. I replaced the bulb...

So, Going off of the other thread about brining, it got me curious about smoking a pork loin as I've pretty much smoked everything else but a loin!! Went to the store and got a 4lb'er, I brined it for about 5 hours with salt, sugar, garlic, old bay, black pepper and ginger: Pulled it...

So, the wifey is asking if we can take a trip to Disney World in Florida for a family vaca this year, I said, sure!!! We have 2 small children (9y/o girl & 5y/o boy). We've really only done the "local" stuff and are ready to start venturing out of the state. Neither of us have done a trip like...

So, I finally got my TF-100, took the tests today when I got home and here are the results: FC 10 CC 0.5 PH 7.5 CH 750 TA 130 CYA 110 I've been in this house for about 6 months now, I've been relying on the local "pool store" to do my testing up until now, I'm pretty confident I performed...

On Saturday I replaced my spa light bulb, in the process of putting everything back together I broke the tab inside that the screw on top of the housing screws into. So the only thing really holding it in place is the the little metal bracket at the bottom. Is this going to be an issue? Can I...

So i bought my house about 2 months ago and have not changed anything on the current setup, my brother who bought a house w/ a pool about 6 years ago came by and basically told me I have no top skimming going on. I have my Hayward ultra vac connected to a hose connected to the skimmer 24/7 and...

Recently bought a house with an IG pool/spa, need help with the following items: Can you please help me identify what equipment I have, specifically what type/kind of pumps do I have? Heater brand/type? I know the model of filter I have. I also have questions about my...
