    SWG in Socal Winter

    Since it's been pretty cool here in Socal for the winter, I've noticed the chlorine levels in my pool from my SWG being really high. I resorted to having the pump run less and the SWG on the lowest setting, but it's still super high. I ended up just shutting off the SWG and the chlorine level...

    Solar pool heater in Socal

    I purchased my solar heater in the Spring and it worked great to keep my pool in the high 80s. Now that it's Fall, is staying right around 80. We've had some hot days here in the 90s but it doesn't seem to have any effect of the solar heater. I can see the panels are reading 115 degrees on...

    Anthony skimmer diverter stuck

    I recently bought this house with a pool that has an Anthony skimmer diverter that is stuck so only the skimmer is sucking. The main drain is completely off so I'm not getting great circulation in my 15k gallon pool. I've tried turning the diverter counter clockwise and it won't budge. Is...

    Rebuild Steps after demo

    Is it pretty typical to have to rebuild the tops of the steps after a demo before replastering an inground pool? This is the 2nd time I've used this builder at 2 different homes, and both times after the demo, the builder comes back and says he needs to charge me extra to rebuild the tops of...

    How many returns?

    My current pool has 2 returns on the same side of an oval pool. I'm putting in a new paver decking and paver coping. I was thinking about teeing off of one of the return lines and running 2 more returns on the opposite side raised wall and creating a water feature (using Pentair Aerator...

    Replastering pool - Sand in concrete

    We are in the middle of having our pool replastered. The contractor has chipped out all of the plaster and exposed the concrete below. He is saying that the original builder cut corners and used sand on a lot of the top layers (mostly in the steps), and that it will need to be chipped out and...

    Electrical For VS Pump

    I just signed a contract for solar panels and they have me a "free" Pentair Superflo VS pump to help out with the electric bill. My question is how should this thing be hooked up? It has a timer built into it already, so I know it needs a direct connect for power. My current set up has a...

    Drain pool using backwash

    I recently moved into a house with a pool containing really old water with 4600 TDS. The water is crystal clear but I want to start brand new. I wanted to drain it using the backwash, but was told this won't work once the water level drops below the skimmer (I have a single suction intake...
