Hello, my pool is about forty years old. It's a 35,000 gallon vinyl liner and my family would like it heated. We've gone over the virtues of using the pool cover especially if we are going to be heating the pool. After getting the pool system upgraded the PVC will be painted and a vented cover...

My S200 is three years old and has spent most of that time in the pool. I’ve been having an issue with it not climbing the walls well and the cord twisting up. The climbing issue may be due to the problem with the swivel getting stuck. I took the swivel apart, cleaned it out, and lubed the...

We have a very large vinyl pool in our yard (20x45' rectangle). The pool was installed 40 years ago and the liner replaced about 5 years ago. Since our yard is 60' wide this doesn't leave a lot of other room in the yard for the kids to run around. We are having our yard re-designed for either...

It looks like I have a small leak in one of the tubes on my FAFCO heater panel. Clearly the tube is leaking because it rubbed on the bolt under it so there is also a mounting issue. Do you have any tips on fixing the leak? How can I make this mounting situation better? It's clearly a...

I recently serviced my Hayward DE filter for the first time since buying the house. I started with a backwash which was a minor disaster. The backwash hose is old and somehow I managed to try to backwash with a link in the hose. As many of you know this resulted in a popped hose and a DE geyser...

I have this three way valve on my system and I'm replacing all of the other o-rings associated with the filtration. Can anyone tell me who the manufacturer of this valve is? Most likely I'll be replacing it with one from the Pentair Solar Touch by next year but I'd like to search for an o-ring...

My pool is older and I can only find the part number and a logo on the skimmer. It seems the skimmer would be a lot more effective with a weir door. Thank you! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I recently purchased a home in Orange County with an older pool. The equipment has been updated over the years and is ready for another updating. I have already learned a lot from this excellent site and had some great interaction with the members. Here are the pool specs. Built in the 1970s...

I currently have a Century 1.5hp single speed pump. With the roof top solar I have significant feet of head in the system using 2" pipes. I'm going to upgrade to a VS pump and have been looking at the Intelliflo 011018 3hp pump. Buying it on Amazon will cost $900 and they offer an additional 4...
