    Hayward Pump Shaft Seal

    Today we attempted to connect our pump and as the water started to fill the lines we immediately noticed a drip from the pump motor. This is not a part we assembled, bran new pump never been turned on. Anyone else have this? Someone mentioned maybe a shaft seal when I asked in a fb pool group...

    Wilbur Pool Resin Boot ?

    Anyone had this happen to one of their boots? Cause for alarm? Pool is full, all else looks good. Looks like the tip got hung on the paver as the walls pushed back while filling.

    Noises while filling

    Above ground leveling question

    We just switched from an intex metal frame to a metal wall above ground and started to fill with water this evening. 1. We had our yard graded last month, all sod removed, laser leveled, and replanted, leaving a circumference that matched the pool. 2. We had about 2” of sand brought in for the...

    Cloudy Water

    I've read through so many forums and I "think" I'm on track but hoping a seasoned expert here can help me out. We have an summer waves elite 15x48 above ground with the standard filter/pump that came with. After last summer we drained all about half inch of water and of course over winter it got...
