I have a Pentair CCP320 Cartridge Filter system and recently had to replace the large o-ring that sits between the top and bottom halves because the old one got stretched and wouldn't say in place for clamping. After replacement, I've been unable to get it to seal under the high speed...

I just tested my CYA for the first time since last summer when I brought it down to about 40-50 ppm through draining and refilling. I used the Taylor kit to test and felt like I had good results. When I tested the same way today, it registered essentially 0ppm (solution was totally clear)...

I started SLAMing my pool tonight and followed the instructions to look up what FC (16) to get my pool to for shock level, given my CYA level (35). The pool had basically no chlorine in it after a weekend of swimming, so PoolMath said I needed 4 gallons. Except I didn't realize it was set for...

I just upgraded the motor on my Sta-rite Dura-Glas from a single speed to a 2-speed and replaced the shaft seal and o-rings in the process. When I first fired it up, there was a good deal of squeaking from the area of the shaft or impeller. It's mostly gone away after a few minutes of running...

I bought a replacement motor (2-speed A.O. Smith 56Y) and I seem to recall someone saying I should replace the gasket when I do the job. Which gasket do I need and is it the kind of thing Leslie's carries or is there somewhere I can mail order it? I'd love to do the replacement this weekend...

I have a .75 HP pool pump (220V) that I believe is single speed and I'd like to replace it with something more efficient. I've attached a picture of the motor label. I think it's a Sta Rite pump, but I can't find a label. I'd like to go either 2-speed or variable speed. I have a booster pump...

My IG plaster pool has CYA at around 80-90 and CH above 400. I'm thinking it needs to be partially drained and I'm wondering how best to do it. Being October here in Northern California (Dixon), it's staying cool enough that I'm assuming the plaster isn't in as much danger, but it already has...

I have an automatic cleaner* and it has recently been having trouble with the hose getting tangled/wrapped around the cleaner. It came with the house which we've had for 6 years and has worked well most of that time, so I don't think it's an issue of hose length. It seems to me that the floats...
