    Spa standpipe loose. What happens if I try to drain the spa?

    What will happen if I turn off the pool equipment and throw a submersible pump into my spa to empty into my contiguous pool? Will pool water drain back into the spa on its own? I need to repair the standpipe. Thanks. David - Dallas

    Pool pvc and new filter I am replacing an old Jandy DE filter with a hairline crack with a new Waterway cartridge filter. The Inlet/outlet configurations are inverted with respect to each other so moderate replumbing will be required. It would be much easier to do if I just cut out the old...

    i have an old Polaris 280 which leaks at the swivel where it connect to the hose. Tightening the nut did not help nor did cutting off an inch or so of hose to provide a "fresh" bit of hose at this connection. 1) Could it be that the hose is so stiff with age that the teeth of the nut threads are...
