Finally getting to the reconstruction phase of my project and am in the process of running new PVC conduit between the niche and junction box. Is there a best practice with regard to how the conduit is run? By that I mean is it better to limit the length of conduit below the water line to...

I am doing a "light refresh" :) on one wall of my hybrid pool. There is an angle iron that runs the length of the wall but has rusted away to nothing. I am sure they had a purpose at one time but are doing nothing except waiting to give someone lockjaw. I found the following picture from...

I am doing some updates to my pool that have been on the list for a while. One item is replaceing the (non)existing light fixtures with new Pentair 12V incandescent housings and J&J Electronics ColorSplash LXG-W lamps. Along with the new fixtures, a rewire is in order since the existing boxes...

Team, I purchased items from the eBay seller Pool Supply World and was surprised to see they appear to be the undercover ecommerce arm of Leslie's. On the one hand, I feel like I would make a good detective but maybe the answer is so obvious that I am the last to know.... Regards,

I have been reading lots of information over the past few days regarding pool lights and how to control them. I have a good handle on the theory but want to confirm my thoughts before choosing my pool automation and light solution. I understand that as a stand alone item, the color is changed...

Just got back from Menards and saw they had Muriatic acid on sale for 3.33 (at least at my store in Long Grove, IL). Menards usually has the lowest regular price of all store in my area but this is even better so wanted to share in case anyone need some. On a related note, what is the shelf...

For anyone looking for inexpensive CYA, eBay currently has a coupon (C20SPRING) for 20% off of (some/all?) pool chemicals. The coupon is good through March 27th. I needed CYA this year so purchased a 25# pail from the following link. After the coupon it was 35.96 AND shipped free. 25 lbs #...

Just a heads up for anyone who may need a new front trim ring for an old American Sanitary pool light. I broke off the retaing tab on mine and looked all over the place for a replacement but couldn't find anything that matched the number on the old trim. While searching around I found that it...

I have been using a Stenner pump and 15 gal blue tank this year and I couldn't be happier with the results but I noticed when I started to refill my tank today that the little bit of bleach that was in the bottom of the tank was a milky white color. I have been careful to not let any junk fall...

Hi all, I have been lurking for a while reading all I can before asking but need some advise from those with experience. I have the TF100 test kit and followed the advise in many posts on pool opening but am still having trouble with getting my pool clear. I am the new owner of this pool and...
