My Maytronics Dolphin Diagnostics robot has ran great until now. I know it's on the OLD side, but thought it was worth a little time to try and repair. As I suspected water has gotten into the housing. It was not full, just a little water. After disassembly I've checked both motors to be working...

I recently read a post where someone made a DIY double elbow pipe with a few holes to use in place of a skimmer diverter plate due to cost. Someone else mentioned the plate/float also served to prevent the pump from losing suction if level were to fall below the skimmer. This is also mentioned...

My raypak 6350TI heat pump just started showing that the water temp is 58 degrees, when it has been set to 85 all summer. I installed it in May and have had no problems until now. I shut the breaker off for about 10 minutes, but it goes right back to reading 58 degrees when powered back on. The...

My Hayward Super II pump is losing prime about 50% of the time that I shut it off. I noticed today that when it loses prime it leaks some water from the bottom of the pump when shutting it off. I have a gasket rebuild kit, just wondering what is the main culprit. Would it be the diffuser gasket...

I have a Jandy Aquapure EI(plug in version) arriving today. I have no outlet at my pump pad. Where should I wire in an outlet? Can I tie into the Intermatic timer box, or should I somehow tap into the breaker box? Thanks for any help.

Every year when I open the pool I find a gang of ants in my pump timer. I leave them alone, they're not hurting me, just wondering what's attracting them into there. [attachment=0:1bsx7scf]uploadfromtaptalk1333680964393.jpg[/attachment:1bsx7scf]

I've got a Hayward super II 1.5 hp pump. Haven't had any problems with it until today. I noticed the returns weren't putting out any water, checked the pump and it WAS running, no pressure on the filter! Turned it off the back on, same thing. Motor is running and very HOTTT! Looking for...

My original blue seal on my Kreepy Krauly is about worn out. I see they have a starfish seal specifically for concrete pools and was wondering if anyone here has one and how well it works. Thanks!

I've been buying gv bleach at wally world. I contacted every pool store in Tulsa and none sell liquid chlorine. Went to one store and asked an employee about it. He had just moved here from California and said that was they're main seller, he didn't know why they didn't sell it here. Wondering...

I've been wanting a ceramic grill for a few years, just didn't want to spend >$1000. The Big Green Egg, Grill Dome, and Primo's all had my interest. I'd never seen one near me on Craigslist until a few weeks ago. I bought a like new Large BGE with nest, side tables, and a platesetter for $500...

I have an 18' x 36' inground and was fortunate to have a friend give me his 20'x40' solar cover he no longer uses. Would it be best to cut it as one piece and be about 6" short on each side., or cut it as two pieces where it would cover the entire surface of the Pool? I attached a picture for...

We've had some heavy rains today and the pool water level is above the skimmer. Should I start draining right away to get level back to normal? Coincidently there are no more air bubbles coming from my returns. I had been trying to find a suction side air leak to no avail. With the pool water...

Found A great deal on some Swim Goggles. $1.50. Just need to figure out how to get them on my face!

To my surprise, I opened the back door and found a bat laying on the doormat. It appeared injured and was kind of flopping around. Eventually it crawled across the lawn and up our rock retaining wall and nestled in between two rocks. I called animal rescue and they said bats could not fly unless...

I'd like to introduce myself to this great forum! Finally closed on our "new" house today in Tulsa,OK. I've been reading the forums for about 6 months, planning on buying our next house with a pool. I've learned a lot of valuable info on here and think this is a wonderful community! The pool...
