So, not sure if this is efflorence, scaling, a combination or what, but it seems to have become a real problem this summer. I had someone tell me our excessive hot summer is the culprit. I have found the easiest way to get rid of it is using a paint scraper and regularly changing the blades...

We have the same Hayward TigerShark that we bought when we built the pool in 2008. For the last year we have had to baby it to get it to run. I think it's an issue with the power cord connection, but hubby is not convinced it's worth fixing because of the age of the unit. Sometimes when you...
