    Replacement Timer

    I’m having issues with my timer, granted it’s a new house to us, but previous owners said they have never had an issue. If timer is set to come on 11am to 7pm, it will run for an hour, then shut off, then turn back on for an hour… What is your recommendation for a timer? It runs the pool...

    Counting down to move in!

    Counting down the days until we move into our new home! There’s a saltwater pool, and while I’ve never maintained one before, I know I can rely on all of you to help with any questions that come up. What I do know - vinyl lined pool was installed in 2021, depth is 8ft, has a tanning ledge, and...

    Hayward Skimmer To Main Drain Diverter Valve - Unable to tighten

    Hello - when I went to open my pool this year, I was unable to tighten the screws that hold down the skimmer to main drain diverter valve - I assume it’s stripped where it fastens. Any suggestions?

    Hayward Skimmer To Main Drain Diverter Valve - installed right?

    I opened my pool for the first time myself this year and want to double check if it matters which way the Hayward Skimmer To Main Drain Diverter Valve is installed. In the photo below the red square is where the suction is and the other is the floor drain. The second photo is how it is currently...

    Crack or just missing tiles

    So this was the first year opening the pool ourselves (our second season), we noticed the pool company went through maintenance staff last year and someone new closed the pool. I questioned the water level - hoping it isn’t the cause of the following…. now that I have gotten the pool clear and...

    Weird staining?

    I was hoping this would go away with some brushing, but it doesn’t seem to be… any thoughts? It’s at the deep end at our floor drain. (We do know that this will be our last season before we need the pool re-finished. (Got a few estimates last year. 🙄 wish we had an inspection on the pool too...

    Slight drip

    Hi all, just opened our pool and noticed there’s a slight drip from the top of my filter. I didn’t notice it until about 2-3 days of the filter running. It appears to be coming from the one bolt. I did make sure it’s tight. First year opening the pool myself, pool company cleaned the filter when...

    Dolphin VS Pentair

    I have read that the S300i is basically the same as the Warrior SI. My other half thinks we should stick to the dolphin brand, as the previous cleaner lasted over 12 years. I tried explaining that Maytronics makes them both. Any suggestions as to which one we should go with?

    Is this just age?

    Hello! We purchased our home last year, after we opened it this season, I noticed what appears to be more wear spots in the pool. We are pretty sure the pool is original with the house. We had our pool people look at a few smaller ones that were in the shallow end at the end of last season and...

    Dolphin Deluxe Cl1 stopping mid cycle

    I have run into a second problem, while I was out hunting for my pool light junction box, I looked over to find that my Dolphin stopped. I went over, turned it off, waited a few minutes, and then turned it back on. It ran for about 30 minutes and then stopped again. I pulled it out and checked...

    Pool light

    We purchased our home last year and for the life of me I can not seem to get the pool light to turn on. I have replaced the bulb. The switch that I think it is has power, but I do not have power at the light. I’m not positive where the light wires are tied in, as there is a receptacle by my...
