While brushing my pool my dog bumped me and I tripped falling in. I won't be doing pool work for awhile. Thats the culprit in the background.

After 4 years of relatively easy care our pool has a penny sized hole in the liner. I have not had any water loss looking for suggestions on the best way to fix it.

So in trying to replace the seals/gaskets on my pump I broke the stationary switch. :hammer: How hard is it to replace the switch? Or is it better to just get a new pump. We have an A.O Smith 3/4 hp pump on there now. Thank you!

My pump needs new sealer or o rings or whatever they are called. I know the filter is a Hayward but the pump is not marked as hayward. It says A Smit Corp Mexico with a mod. C48j2n131c1c I had to take the motor off and clean debris and found that all the sealer are bad and crumbling which...

My nice clear pool is now coated in yellow pollen as is everything else here. I am vacuuming daily, running the filter and using the net and no luck. A neighbor said to use a flocking agent but I really don't want to add chemicals if not needed. Any advice would be great.

After all the rains we had last month my chemistry is screwy to say the least. All through last summer I had a horrible time with CYA and now that I have algae and no CYA I want to know should i kill the algae first then work on getting the CYA up to good levels for a salt system. I am working...

We have developed a leak in the line that comes out of the pump into the filter. I am not sure what to use to repair it. Currently there is a large amount of a silicone product that has I guess broken down and in allowing the leak. Do I use more silicone or is there a better product to use...

so today while doing my daily pool check. I swore I saw green on the bottom of the pool. A quick double check of my test results, hmm all is fine. Still worried I call to hubby, we have algae bring home bleach. DH comes home with bleach takes a look at the "green" to tell me it isn't algae...

I tested and retested multiple times but I never get even a hint of cloudiness when doing the CYA test. My other levels I think are fine. FC 4 tc 4 cya ? never got cloudy, edited for the correct word! TA 40 PH 7.8 so lost on all these test chemicals. Any input would be great!

So we have owned our home/pool for two weeks. Today while I was vacuuming I noticed a bulge in the side of the pool. Checking it out I can feel hard circular plastic "thing" behind the vinyl. the shape and feel is similar to the round jets on the opposite sides of the pool. this is near the...

we have a pool light but i have no idea if it works or how to turn it on. Any advice would help. Thank you

Well we are moved into our new to us home. Love having a pool, but the previous owners left no pool items. I bought a pole and a leaf bag/catcher and a nylon brush. I know a vacuum is what we need but I have no clue what I need to get. Is it just a hose with a vacuum attachment or something...

We are set to close on next week on our new home/pool. So I want to get my kit ordered I will be ordering the tf-100 but as the pool is a swg (no clue on the maker) so do I need to include the salt test and if so which one the taylor or the strips. and yes I am getting the speed stirrer :-D
