I’ve done some searching and it kinda blows my mind there are no nice underwater solar pool light options. Only the LedecSun lights seems to be halfway decent, and you have to order them from Spain. Am I missing something or not looking in the right place? I would pay several hundred for a nice...

Seems like whenever I take out my hot tub filter, some of the stuff that is caught in the filter comes loose and gets back into the water as I unscrew it. Is there a trick to this? It is disheartening watching all that 'stuff' go back into the water, there has to be a better way to remove...

I have a whole house 16k Generac (70A breaker) with automatic switch, and I am considering getting a J385 hot tub which requires a 60A line. The question I have is, do I need to add a load shedding box for the hot tub to prevent damage to my generator? Or is it a non issue? I read that the...

Came across Sunrise Spas watching Youtube Reviews on different hot tubs, and was impressed with this brand as they don't use expansion foam and use metal frames instead of wood. Seems like a big improvement and wondering why other brands don't do this as well? Anyone have an opinion on...

I want to utilize this space to the fullest, and get a large hot tub. Are there certain brands that specialize in larger hot tubs? Any recommendations? I do not want to get a swim spa.

I have a slow leak dripping in the area indicated by the red arrow in the attached pic. Right by where the 4 bolts are that attach the pump basket to the rest of the pump. Is there an o ring in this area that might need to be changed out, or is this the shaft seal? I did just change the shaft...

I had a pool company close my pool last year, and yesterday I realized that the 2 plastic plugs for the heater (older Raypak 2100, dark green metal exterior, probably 15-20 years old) were still in place. I am not sure if they undid the plugs for an hour or 2 while they were here, and put them...

So we bought a house during winter and the pool/spa was not able to be inspected. I finally got around to removing the 3 drain covers at the bottom of the spa, and this is what I found. It looks like someone not once, but twice, poured a new floor into the spa, put in a new drain cover, and...

Wanted to ask you all if you can recommend a strong pool cover for my oval in-ground plaster pool. The last 2 covers I have had, got holes after 2 years use, and then I have pumped pool water out resulting in hundreds of dollars lost (I am on well and have my water trucked in). Need at least...

Newbie here - got home today and filter was off as it usually is from the timer, but today the pump basket was almost empty, very little water. I turned on the filter to see if it would prime a couple times and it would not, so then I grabbed my phone and took this video: It eventually does...

Had an air lead last summer...never figured it out, closed the pool. This was my first (half) season with this pool. Beginning of this season, opened the pool myself, and the air leak was still there. I decided to do some research, and one day I did 3 things: 1. Swapped the pool pump lid...

Looking for recommendations for a new cover, as the one that came with this pool when we bought the house had holes in it (it was a glorified tarp really, amazed it was being used as a pool cover). I was originally thinking having a safety cover made, but with the brick wall very close to the...

Wondering if anyone could suggest a good outdoor product as a walking surface that goes over old cement? I know they make rubber squares that interlock, but can anyone recommend a brand or perhaps alternative product that will accomplish the same thing? I've attached a photo, the cement in bad...

New pool owner here. Previous owners left the pool is bad shape, tiles were 50% popped off, small chunks of cement falling into the pool, and all coping stones were loose. I had this all repaired and replaced with new last fall, and opened my pool a week ago. Since then my robot has been...

New pool owner. Had new coping/tile done last September, winterized with standard winterization kit, and closed pool with pool a little over half full. Had 2 9000 gallon tankers fill the pool last Wednesday, so it has been a week. Just did a calcium hardness test, and if I did correctly, it...

Moved from here. I had similar questions as the OP, but I think you guys have helped answer them. I had my pool re-tiled, new coping stones, and they did a decent amount of plaster/marcite repairs as well...which I assume would lead to higher PH levels in my pool (which it is currently reading...

New pool owner here. Bought 1964 home with 38,000gal white plaster pool, 3 skimmers, TR100C filter, 2hp Champion pump, Raypak RP2100 heater. Also has attached spa (not operating currently due to leaks) with separate cartridge filter, smaller Rapypak heater, and its own pump. The spa is...

New pool owner here. Have an old plaster pool, 38,000 gallons, with spa attached. The house was built in 1964, and although the pool is in decent shape, the spa was never maintained. It has leaks and the tile and inlets are all in rough shape. When I ran the pool with the spa for the first...
