I need to replace my Amerilite 784 fixture and found this as a possible replacement. Does anyone have any experience with this fixture? I'd likely toss one of J and J's led replacement bulbs in it as well. Thanks...

I'm going from a Hayward SP to Calimar VS pump and I see in the specs that there is a .2" difference in the center line of the hayward vs the Calimar. Am I looking at replumbing the whole inlet or is it possible to make it work with the existing plumbing? I've currently got 1.5" pipes so I'll...

Basically, the title says it all. Have an old Amerilite 120v fixture and it has some corrosion around the base from a leak where the cord inserts. The housing flooded and took out my LED light. I'm definitely going with another LED, either another Florida Sunseeker, or a J&J (have read good...

Thank you all for the information in this thread. I've been looking at the Calimar to replace my Superpump. I don't have any automation, fountains, etc, so it seems like a good fit for my 30K gallon pool. I've got 1.5" pipes so I just wanted to make sure there's no issues using it. Thanks!

Does it prolong the life of the cell to swap it out for a dummy cell over the winter? I know that it only generates above a certain temp so I was curious if it would wear out at all over winter when it wasn't active. Thanks.

I was replacing my pool pump motor and a piece flew off of the new one that I can't find. I think it keeps the triangle contactor in place with the spinning shaft. trouble is I don't even know what it looks like. Does anyone know what it is and maybe provide a pic? i'm not getting any...

My old hayward super pump motor just bit the dust, so I'm looking at replacement options. I had planned on going with a calimar 3hp but of course no one has them in stock. If I had to pick a big name brand, what would be a decent option? I don't have any automation, as its a basic setup...

Last year the board blew up on my Hayward Swim Pure Plus. The old board was superceded with a new model, so I replaced it with the latest revision. This morning I went to check on the pool and I have a 0 ppm reading, a power LED on the board and a flashing no flow light. The cell itself is...

I need to replace the amerilite housing for our pool light. There is some corrosion at the base due to a water leak and subsequently, the Florida Sunseeker LED bulb I had in there went bad. I'm either looking at 2 options: 1. Get a replacement Amerilite housing and another Florida Sunseeker...

My light developed a leak after a liner replacement and trashed my LED bulb. I need to test it, but if the leak is at the cable, I have to replace the whole thing, correct? Here's a couple of pics. The rust in the back makes me think it's leaking at the cable. Thanks for any advice.

The previous owner installed a motion light that's on a switch in a random location in the house by the front door. We hardly ever use it so I was thinking about removing it all together, but maybe I'll just move the switch to a weather proof box by the equipment pad in the event I ever do need...

I've used some inexpensive smart switches from Monoprice.com to put our porch and entry lights on from dawn to dusk. I got the idea the other day that the same switch could be used to automate the pool light to come on for a few hours in the evening. Currently, the light is controled by a...

My old Swim Pure Plus green GLX board died and I replaced it with a new blue GLX-PCB-RITE board with the 1.59 software revision. Do I need to calibrate it for my T15 even though it is set to that size cell by default? Despite replacing the board, we've had to manually add liquid chlorine as...

I had an old green RITE board (v41.40), but it bit the dust and was unrepairable. The relay leg burned a hole through the board. The guy who I sent the board off for repair to suggested the new blue board with v1.59. Does anyone know what the differences are between the two? I can see that...

Need a little help if someone can lend a hand. Monday we had a huge storm and I had to drain the pool. I forgot to switch back to circulate and ran the pump dry all day while I was at work. we immediately filled the pool and tested and the pump seemed to work, but was scorching hot. Well...

I pulled the housing out to see if I could identify what type of LED bulb to buy. I'm not really sure if the markings on the housing would help to ascertain that info. Can anyone help? Here is a pic of the housing. Thanks.

so we've been losing water and I didn't have time to diagnose and called in a leak detection company. the tech dove the pool today and found 5 half moon shaped cuts in the liner towards the bottom slope in the side. the odd thing is, when we let the pool just drain to where it stopped, it would...

we have noticed greater than usual water loss the past couple weeks and the water would eventually settle around the bottom of the skimmer opening. I took a look today and saw these hairline cracks where it looks like some sort of seam is separating. both skimmers are doing this. is this...

The rear axel on my 280 snapped off and I'm trying to figure out if the axel is a separate part, or part of the flat wheel plate. The grey axel seems like it's glued to the white plate and won't come apart very easily. I've tried to watch some youtube videos, but they never show any pics of...

I went to run the polaris today and i noticed a lot of air coming out of my return jets. i figured out that the water level in the skimmer closest to the pump was dropping very low and letting a ton of air in. there was also a strange white cloud of something coming out of the wall connection...

So I'm looking at fences and want to install myself. I'm considering these two brands and was wondering if there is any significant difference between the two. Both price out extremely similiar, both seem to have the same construction and features. Can anyone speak to the customer support of...

So if my pump is off for a period of time and I turn it back on, I can see and hear air being cleared by the jets. I'm assuming there is a slow air leak somewhere, but I don't see any obvious leaks from the plumbing anywhere. I do hear a sucking/sipping noise from the multiport valve and...

The bearings in my motor went recently and the after removing the motor, and seeing how rusted out the case is, I'm just going to replace the motor instead of the bearings. Is AO Smith now owned by Century? If so, is this the correct motor: Century A.O. Smith UST1102 56J C-Face 1 HP Single...

I have a leaking Super pump so I bought one of these seals to replace the shaft seal: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HEAUAAY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Before I replaced it, I got the diffuser seal and housing seal from Leslies and brought in my shaft seal for...

I've been noticing more and more that there is what looks like sand depositing in areas of my pool. Also, if I brush an area that looks clean, a puff of debris kicks up, almost like a small cloud of sand. I've recently replaced 2 shredded grids and repaired a crack in my manifold with marine...

I'm trying to diagnose a leak on my pump and I think it may be the shaft seal. I know I have a tiny leak from the discharge pipe where it exits the pump, but the slab is always wet under the pump itself. I know I need to determine the pump model so I can get the correct seal kit, correct...

Hey all. I'm a new pool owner and I'm trying to get a handle on our pool for this season. When we bought the house last fall, we saw what we thought was sand in the bottom. We thought nothing of it and left the pool open all winter, where a little more ''sand'' accumulated. After an algae...
