Replacing an old single speed pump and saltwater generator system that no longer works this upcoming week. Pump will be black and I would like my pool pipes to match the color. Is it ok to spray pool PVC pipes black?

Good Evening, I have a saltwater pool with a Hayward saltwater chlorinator. Pool is opened up and the saltwater chlorinator is showing 0 for the salt level but what is odd is that the light that turns green to show the power is on has been turned off. I haven’t cleaned the cell in awhile. I...

The PvC pipe coming out the ground by the slide isn’t connected to the slide because we have had issues getting it to stay connected to the slide. It’s freezing here now. Valve is currently off. Should I just wrap this pipe up with a towel to prevent from freezing? Any recommendations?

the middle line going to the booster pump (which no longer works nor do I use anymore) valve is closed. Will this line freeze if water isn’t moving though it? It has been left closed in freezing weather the past 2 or 3 years. Just want to be safe. Would really be great to have this return move...

My saltwater chlorinator is not working at all. Water temp is currently 72. Yesterday I brushed some green off of the walls and bottom. Did a daily chlorine test and it was clear as could be at zero. So here I am with no chlorine in the water. I know I need to SLAM but it’s still new to me...

Can these be replaced? You have to literally turn them with pliers. Is this something you can do with pool turned off?

I need some ideas on how to get privacy in this corner. This is how it has been since we moved here and we share the back retaining wall with the neighbor above us. I will send a more updated picture. We just want them completely blocked out and to not have to see them at all. The neighbor will...

When I turn the pump off for the night and come back out the next day to turn on air is blowing out of the return lines causing bubbles. I turned the pool off this evening to see if I could hear anything and it sounds like a whistle very close to the sand filter. I need some help as to where the...

Good evening guys, Just had a week of heavy rains and just been so busy I have not had time to take care of the pool like I always do. Tested my water tonight with the test kit and PH is showing a little high 8.0 (probably from all the rain) and my chlorine read 0 which I’m thinking from all...

I have a TF Pro test kit and when measuring for total alkalinity under the smart stir I’m not seeing the color change to red at all. I added like 20 drops and still no sign of red. Any recommendations?

I know I know I visited the pool store to get a reading on water sample test. I currently have a mustard algae that looks like a dust when brushing. Any tips or suggestions how to get rid of? Here are the results from the pool store.

Hey guys I ended up getting a water sample this evening from the pool store and need some advice. I will post results below. My pool is a 25k gallon inground vinyl liner pool. Will be leaving for 10 days here coming up. Just added 3 lbs of CYA today to get that number higher. Anything anyone...

How old is this pump? Been using it since we moved here a few years ago.

Hey guys, My FC and TC is 2.6, total alkalinity is 114, PH 7.8 but my CYA is 1. What do I need to increase this? Fixing to leave for the beach here Saturday and trying to get it up before heading out. I have 3 inch chlorinating tablets from Walmart I could drop in the skimmer. Will that...

Can someone tell me if my salt cell is reading ok? I’m still new to reading and understanding it. I have gone to the pool store to have water tested and each time the salt and chlorine were very low. Salt currently reading 3300 but seems to be 500-600 less with the water samples at the pool...

Hey guys just had a brand new liner installed with a new hydrostatic relief valve also replaced in the main drain at the bottom of the pool. This is an inground vinyl liner pool. Filled the pool yesterday half way up the skimmer and woke up this morning and the water level has dropped more than...
