We are moving. We will lose the pool (hardly use it) but gain a bigger house (need that) and more land - 3 acres instead of 1.5. And an in-ground spa pool on an inclosed porch.. Since we really didn't use the pool we are undecided about the spa. Cheapest course for us is the pry it up (set in...

Our pool's recirc setup puzzles me, here's an overall pix. Here a close up of the return manifold I can't find a satisfactory setting on the valves to balance the the functioning of the 3 returns. In the overall picture the manifold closest is the returns - side/skimmer, bottom/main, then...

It doesn't look like we (in North Central Florida) will be visited by Florence. But is one of them visits us what should I be prepared for? Obviously we need to watch for rain over filling the pool so I'll drain ahead of time but if the power's out for an extended period perhaps I should be...

Wifie started her campaign for me to swap the filter elements. Here's the setup: ( 2 pics attached). Here's the question: What the H does it take to get this easier! Step 1 - I turnoff/make certain pump timer won't come on. Step 2 - bleed off vacuum by opening valve on top right of filter...

Our setup has 3 return lines - Main Drain, Skimmer, and Vacuum (Hayward Navigator Pro). A local Pool Expert had it set so the Hayward was noticably flapping it's wings and speeding across the pool bottom, and occasionally up the sides. Is that necessarily the best and only proper configuration...

Our pool has lights, I think. There's a "something" on the pool wall beneath the waterfall fixture. But I'm not finding a switch nor a breaker that's marked for lights so I haven't found the circuit for them. What's a "usual" install for pool lights? I'd prefer to find a well-insulated install...

This site is a real find! Kudos to the contributers and moderators. Our situation - wife and I retired and moved away from the ocean so wife could get more acerage for her 2 mini-horses and be in "horse country". (Meself is not a horse person.) So we found 1.5 acres with 1400 sq ft house and got...

With all the rain we've had the Pinch a Penny report was interesting. Add salt (does(n't) your salt generator report a fault?), add Acid, add Chlorine, add Stabilizer. But what they didn't say was in what order. What basic chemistry I know tells me to be sure each is throughly mixed and...

New to Pool maintenance and the retirement home we just bought came with a smallish in-ground pool. The circulation pump has 3 inlets and 2 outlets, to wit: (L to R) Skimmer, Main Drain, Vacuum; then the Salt generator and finally the Waterfall feature. Messing with the valves on the return...
