Hey guys, my Hayward MPV Variflo XL is leaking at the base where it connects to the sand filter. It is a top mount. Started leaking gradually a few months ago. Tightened the screws a little and we were fine. Now it is a constant flow from the seam area on the sand filter. I have taken off...

Hey guys. Just opened my pool today as we are selling our house and new owners want to inspect pool when it is running. Of course, that means my pump won't prime. I have filled the basket housing with water each time when trying but it only suck water down and then nothing being pulled from...

My Hayward sand filter has a substantial leak at the junction of the filter base and black internal tube (please see pic - upper black connection - note spacing between filter side and tube). It has been caulked in the past by the pool company I used to use but is leaking much worse this year...

Losing water and have found two spots where I am leaking. Suggestions on repair vs replace? I'm new to the plumbing thing. Here are picks of the leaks.

Hey guys. Started to clean up a big green area (plants) around our pool a week ago and noticed some of the pvc line was now exposed. I dug out the 10 ft section and removed tons of roots that had undermined the lines. Pics posted as to how much the lines were deviated. Main questions. I...

Hey guys. Need some help. First time opening this way. We have had tons of rain in the last month and I had to drain a ton of water to get the safety tarp water free so have added a lot of new water. Here are my numbers. pH - 7.2 Cl - 0 CH - 50 TA - 60 CYA - 0 (was 50 at closing) What...

Opened my pool today and I have a constant flow out of my discharge pipe when the multiport is set to filter. Tried going through backwash, rinse and waste, then back to filter but still have significant flow out of the discharge line. I also have a small leak at the base of the sand filter...

Just got my new pool chemicals and have a bunch of left over testing supplies. How should I dispose of these safely? Thanks, Rod

I need to replace my diving board. It is an 8 foot fiberglass board with 3 bolts. 2 in back and one in middle. 36 inches apart. The underside of board says "Aqua Board", "Aquaslide N Dive of Brownsville, TX." The only thing similar I can find online is the Frontier II. We have the same...

Got my Dolphin Triton at the beginning of this season and it started out doing fine. Now it consistently gets stuck in one corner and makes no attempt to get out. Bottom of 8 foot deep end corner up toward deepest wall. Wedged in the corner. Any advice on how to get this to stop? Probably...

My FAS/DPD tests is showing crazy numbers. Tested this morning and FC was 17.5. Doing a SLAM so want the FC at 20. Put in 1/2 gallon this morning to bring FC to 19. Tested again when I got home from work. FC was 14.5. Added 2 gallons of 10% chlorine to bring it back to FC 20.5. Just...

Bought the TF-100 test kit and seems like the chlorine FAS/DPD powder is going very quickly. No way I will get approx 75 tests from the amount that came with the kit. Directions state heaping scoop but I have been dialing back since I am doing a SLAM right now. Should I use smaller scoops...

Was trying to get Chlorine to 20 but actually tested out tonight at 24. Oops. Any problems or do I just ride it out?

Good or bad idea to use a robotic cleaner during a SLAM? Worried about long term damage and wear.

Hello all. Our diving board broke a couple summers ago and we need to replace it. It is an 8 foot board with three holes. It is very old and the base is heavy metal in a U shape. There is a Frontier II board that might work but the holes don't look like they match up. Thinking I need to...

Hello all. I am new to TFP but been in a house with a pool for the last 12 years and have honestly hated every summer because of the pool. Nothing like dumping time and money into something and not being happy. I really hope to join the world of Trouble Free Pools since I have been hanging...
