We were having a problem with the robot not going forward and noticed the gears to the wheels were no longer engaging, so I replaced the wheels and tracks of the robot. Now after powering on, the robot goes through its testing phase (moving backward for about 10 seconds, then forward, followed...

Not sure what caused this. Happed a few days ago. Haven’t ran the heater in months. Easy fix putting in new pipe, but not sure how to prevent it from happening again. Any ideas?

I bought a IntelliFlo Variable Speed Pump - 011028 in late March. Installed it myself, as it was pretty much straight replacement. Everything has worked great and been happy with my upgrade, until today it started to have a very loud pitch noise while running. Here is a video of the noise ...

Picked up a RayPak Digital Electronic Natural Gas Pool Heater (400,000 BTU) to replace an old Raypak that was end of life (It was removed before I remembered to write down the model). Pretty straight forward install do to everything lining up easily and I did it myself. It’s been running with...

I'm taking on replacing our heater. I removed the old Raypak heater that was more to fix than replace. Once removed the old pad was cracked pretty well. It was one of those 1 inch over foam pads. So I poured a bigger pad that was larger and thicker than the old path. Now that I have the heater...

I am redoing the pool plumbing. The skimmer and main drain are coming in at 1.5" pipe while the spa intake is 2". Whats the correct way to move from the 1.5 to 2" above ground plumbing? Do I put a coupler right away or something else before the pump. I might be over thinking this, but I want...

We currently bought a new heater (NG Raypak) and Pool Pump (IntelliFlo Variable Speed Pump) and I thought this would be a good time to re-plumb all of the piping. I want to remove an old chlorination and move the SWG to be after the heater. I also bought a few new check values and 3 way vales...

We have a 17,000 gallon pool in Atlanta, GA with some aging equipment we want to start replacing. We have 1.5 HP Standard Motor Pump Hayward S244S Sand Filter AutoPilot Pool Pilot Digital with RC42 cell SWG Ray Pak Heater Natural Gas (Not connected, looks to be rusted and screen display looks...

Hello, Im not sure how to move forward in replacing 2 broken laterals on my Hayward S244S sand filter (https://www.hayward-pool.com/pdf/manuals/ProSeries-S210S-S244S.pdf). I removed all the sand and can access the laterals. They can rotate to face upwards and seems you can't just remove one but...

I plan on DIY replacement of a pool light fixture. I was wondering how I can tell which new light fixture to get to fit our current niche, or are niche one size fits all? Does anyone have a recommendation on what light fixture they like? Here are some pictures of the light fixture I plan on...

Basically we bought this house with a pool few years ago. I didn't really pay attention but now I think that the main drain in the bottom of the pool isn't connected to the pool pump. I installed a swg and accidentally poured too much salt in the deep end. With the pool pump running, I brushed...

Hello Everyone, I have moved into new home and have been working on keeping the pool clear during the summer. I have been naive and we have been using chlorine tablets and then using shock if it gets green. Now that I have jumped into the TFP philosophy and ready to do this right. Here are...

What would be the best way to fill these cracks? http://imgur.com/HyxhfVG I wasn't sure if I should use just more cement (Which kind?) or more of a flexible epoxy? Thanks. I'm still looking if I can find that missing stone on the side. We had it laying around since we bought the house but...

We just moved in and I have been working on fixing up our first pool. I noticed the light in the pool didn't work so I thought it would be an easy fix to change it. Turns out it was full of water and there was no bulb (Also looked like something died in it). So I am guess I need to replace the...

Hello, I just bought a foreclosed home that has a pool. The pool needs a lot of work so I'm taking this winter to get it ready, since I don't mind doing it myself I have been doing everything. The pipes coming from the spa and pool into the basket were leaking and causing air to get into the...
