Rebuilt my boost pump because the ceramic seal had cracked and it was leaking. I got the new impeller, and seals. I had removed that tiny little rubber gasket that goes around the axel for lack of a better term. At the shop I said, I need that little one for the rod that turns the impeller...

Leslies is the only game in town and they know it. I needed a bag for my polaris. $45. I found it on line for $12 I needed new cartridges, their price $600. I found it online for $300 So now I need something less trivial. My salt cell has gone Kaput Leslies wants $600. I have a hayward...

Fascinated to find the cause of a pump motor failure over the weekend. As of late, it had been making a funny sort f metal on metal noise when running. It started tripping the breaker. I went out of town and decided to deal with it when I got back. I came home and reset the breaker and turned...

I am doing some trouble shooting because my system is starting to show its age. Background: Salt reading "very Low". I take the cell to Leslies and they say it tests fine. Have a guy out and he says he can replace the PCB. The price is too high to I replace it myself. I literally took 1 wire...

The blower for my spa is for some reason, 5 feet off the ground and right in front of my control panel. Any reason, I can't just cut that PVC pipe a foot or 2 shorter and lower it?

I hear this every time I go to the pool store. I get a bunch of conditioner, Shock, etc. Everything Dies, and the pool is perfect. Have a pool party ~20 kids within 3-4 days, the green stuff starts growing. I take in my sample and once again "You have no chlorine" I was told you should only...

I got the kids in the hot tub and let that be their "bath" washed their hair and such. Shampoo of course made for a very elaborate bubble bath. We have probably done this 5-6 times this summer. last couple days, I notice a lot of "scum" for lack of a better word floating around the hot tub abd...

I have a net that goes over my pool because I have small kids (3 and 5) We got a new puppy and he of course chewed a hole through it. Does anybody know if it can be repaired or could tell me how I can repair it. It is one of these nets made of the really thick twine. It was a very expensive...

I guess it is to prevent water from going down that pipe when that feature is not turned on. But why do I care. The whole reason I ask is when I turn the spa feature on, this thing rattles incessantly and is annoying. If I take it out, and turn that spa water feature on/off, it works fine and...

So I am a bit of an engineer and I have taken my kids to splash parks and they love those water blasters they can spray each other with. So After a beer or two, I got to looking at my pool and notices I have 2 fountains. One in the spa and one on a tanning ledge. So That is my power source...

I have a salt water pool and it is a light white surface. I notice all through out the pool, there are very light faded pink ish red stains pretty much everywhere. Due to lack of conditioner in my pool, I have had almost no chlorine in my pool (as it was explained to me by the leslies expert)...

So this weekend, I was working insane hours trying to meet a deadline. I finally succeeded in the wee hours. Near the end of my work, I poured a strong drink, and upon accomplishing my goals, I threw caution to the wind along with my clothes, ran out in the backyard and did the most amazing...

Went to Leslies and she said 1. you have no chlorine but I have recently shocked, and my cell is at 80% so she gave me conditioner. I put a bucket in. Hopefully that will help hold onto the chlorine. 2. She said your water hardness is off the chart "500 +" Me: "How do I fix this?" Her: "Only...

I think the answer is no. Monday, My pump stopped working. Home warranty says is it covered. They send out some mom and pop company to look at it. They say it is a capacitor on the motor. They don't answer their phone but only respond to texts. yesterday they finally ordered a new motor...

I have salt water pool. We had a party and ended up w/ some solo cups at the bottom. I turned the filter / cleaner off for 2 days so I could get junk off the bottom before it messed up the cleaner. I am in Dallas and we just had an insane storm come through on Tuesday. At any rate, I go to...

I believe I have a valve that is not closing completely. When I switch from spillover to pool I notice over about 2-3 hours time, the spa drains to where the water level matches the pool water level. My spa is about 2 feet above the pool. so it drains the spa about half way. It seems is I go...

I cleaned the filter and I guess I failed to tighten something properly. Turned the pump on, watched the pressure build and then... You remember those water powered rockets from you were a kid? I recreated that on a massive scale. A bit of water started to spray out and them a massive BOOM. The...

I have the hayward equipment and Goldline controls. Ideally, I would like to work so if I turn the heater off on the wall controls, it stays off until I turn it back on. But I have to remember to go out to the actual heater and pt it on standby otherwise the next day when my filter turns on and...

All of the conduit running connecting the pump, cleaner, heater to the unit on the side of the house appears to be burnt for lack of a better word. It is as though it is melted. Has anyone seen this before? [attachment=0:1fyt84ti]IMG_20111112_155250.jpg[/attachment:1fyt84ti]...
