Over the past few months, Ive been trying to figure out why my pool flow / pump output has decreased a lot since I first bought this house with my pool. At the end of last summer, I did replace the sand in my sand filter and installed a new primary pool pump with the same one that came with the...

Bought house with pool in 2021 and the multi-port valve on my sand filter just cracked for the 3rd time... I replaced with new OEM part the prior two times. I obviously don't want to replace it again just to have it Crack again. I assume the plumbing on the left side is putting too much...

After extensive troubleshooting on a leak on a my pool, I have isolated a pool leak to my pool spa. (When I don't use my spa and shutoff suction and return to spa - the pool no longer loses water over a week+ period). As you can see from the pics, I even think I found the area in the spa that...

As the title states, I just changed the sand in my 500lb Hayward sand filter. I watched a few "how to" videos and while the process wasnt fun, I felt like it was pretty straight forward so tackled it myself. After startup i noticed sand in the pool from the returns. Yikes. It seemed to stop...

Been trying to track down a leak in my pool for a while and (somehow) just recently noticed this area on my spa that seems to be leaking. In the first pic you can see the obvious area where water seems to be leaking from the spa plumbing...and concrete cracks. In the other pics, you can see...

I suspected I was losing water this summer via a leak but had a few leaks at my pumps and with the Georgia heat / spillover on my spa, was not sure my water loss water related to those items or something else. I fixed the leaks/seals at my pump and added pebbles to my pool equipment shed...

I replaced the pump seal and gaskets on my hayward super pump today and when I got it all hooked back up, turned breaker on, and turned the pump back on... main breaker in house immediately tripped. Never had any issues with the breakers before and it is a new panel, set of breakers, etc. I...

I figured this would be expensive, but wow. Would I be stupid to pay these prices or is this just my "welcome" to pool ownership? Quick backstory is my pool controller panel is bad, the heater has issues, etc... so I got a quote for replacement of bad parts but also to get the system up to...

I just moved into a new house a few weeks ago with a pool that wasn't cared for very well IMO. They previous owner had to drain/re-fill it right before closing b/c the pool was such a mess. Anyway - been doing my research and trying keep it balanced. One issue I have is the control panel...

So, a day before I went out of town for work for 2 weeks, we viewed and put an offer on a house which has a gunnite pool with a spa and some sort of spray in "pebble tech" like finish. The pool was built in 2007, seems to be in solid shape but, at this point, I'm fairly clueless. I joined this...

My wife and I have been discussing an in ground pool in Georgia and it appears that our 4 foot aluminum fence may not meet local code for a residential pool barrier. Does this mean that we will have to replace the entire fence for the pool permits to be approved? Or is the pool fence not...

Hello from Atlanta (area), GA. My name is Michael and I am in the decision making process of a gunite pool build for later this year or early next year. Overall, I am just trying to make sure we wont regret building the pool, cost involved, and of course short and long term maintenance...
