I've been battling pipe leakage for about 2 years, and I've had multiple people recommend replacing my pump. I believe a variable speed pump (of some type) would improve things (water lose & electrical usage), and with it's installation- install new pipes and connectors. I'm looking for some...

Hello, This morning I tested the CYA level in my pool, and the number was ZERO. Last week, I'd put 2 cups of stabilizer in a sock for dispersion, and so I'm trying to determine if I really just need more stabilizer, or could there be an error with chemical R-0013 that I used in my CYA test. My...

Yesterday I took in my 2009 Hayward pool vacuum for repairs to my trusted local pool store. They have informed me that repairs will be around $200. I asked how much a new vacuum would be, since it seems that I have needed repairs every 4-6 months. He said I could buy a new Hayward vacuum for...

My son was just swimming in the pool and grabbed a couple tiles from the bottom of the pool. Not sure if he knocked these off, or they really did come off, but I needed recommendation for how to put them back onto the pool border wall. The water level usually is about in the middle of the tiles...

I have a single light in my pool and it hasn’t been turning on. I took out the light unit and the inside seems moist. I wasn’t the installer, but is this case shot? should I put in a new bulb and see what happens or just buy a new bulb case? (I’m not trying to electrocute myself)

My hose is seriously twisted and tangled, and I need some help. Normally I'll keep a leaf catching basket attached, but I've taken that off, and now the hose is always twisting even after I've disconnected the sections and pulled it out of the water for a while. Is there an easy solution I can't...

I’ve gotten my pool out of winter mode and it’s ready for summer. Here in AZ it’s been 100 degrees and my balance is cool ? I have some weird stains in some corners and areas of my pool. I’ve slammed the pool a couple weeks ago and that did nothing to the stains. Am I not scrubbing hard...

Practically all summer long, my pool has been cool. I'll take the simple test kit out every other day and check the chlorine and pH levels, and I'll simply just add an amount of liquid chlorine or muriatic acid. I keep leave out of the pool and brush it a couple times a week. Everything had been...

I have several pop-ups that will pop up and clean, and then I've got the majority that do... nothing. Are the pop-ups in my pool something I need to worry or care about? I've been in this house and with this pool for about 5 years, and I'm able to run my vacuum, and add chemicals, and things...

:mad: I believe my drain cover is either too large, or maybe not large enough. I've had this problem for a while, and wanted some opinions. I have a Hayward vacuum (with it's own set of issues), and it runs/works great. I typically take it into the pool store once/twice a season for new pads...

I've got a vacation trip :cool: that I'll embark on for about 7 days- and I'm looking for some pool advice. If my pool is balanced and looking good, then should I just dump a gallon of chlorine in, and then head off to the airport? What's the easiest/best plan without finding a neighbor to come...

I have an old Hayward pool vacuum, and it seems one of the leg springs has gone MIA. Any recommendations on how to fix this up myself, or do I need to take it to an "expert"? Thanks :mad:

I'm shopping at Home Depot and they have two types of muriatic acid. I think this bottle one is the 31.45%, but it doesn't say. The box of 2 gallons says 14.50%. Is any one familiar with either type? thanks

:( I've got a Hayward pool vacuum (don't ask which model- it's all faded away). I've taken it to the local pool store 2-3 times in the past 5-6 years, and it's had bits and parts repaired and replaced. The issue I'm having with it now is that it won't move very fast- it's practically sitting on...

A buddy of mine came and tested all the pool chemistry (TFP-style), and we decided to drain it. Yesterday I drained it, and then today I scrubbed and power washed it as clean as I could manage. Now it's filling it, and I'll have to do something... but what? any help I would appreciate, thanks ?
