    Pool Pump Overheating?

    I have just had my liner replaced, inground 20x40 and all seemed well, then I went away for a couple of weeks. I suspect the filter may have struggled while away (filter on a timer) and last night the breaker tripped, possibly related to a big storm. However after a reset the pump seems much...

    Hayward Propane Heater - Electrical

    It seems to be quite the task but my new heater is almost installed, it is plumbed in, propane connected, all I need is electrical.

Last year (we moved in mid-August) I covered it with a tarp, while it was *ok* I had a swamp in the spring, this year I have more time and have started looking in to proper winter covers. Our pool is a 20x40 in...
