Cincinnati area here and I'm cleaning my filter socks nearly every day thick with stuff. I've cleaned my cartridges twice now. Thought it was just me but a friend is experiencing the same thing. It's been dry and dusty with pollen but I'm wondering if the Canada wild fires are contributing to...

I have a Hayward Aquarite SWG with a VS pump and it's taking more and more flow over time to get it to generate vs no flow. The system is about 2 years old, filters are clean, and there doesn't seem to be any obvious restrictions. Could the flow switch already be bad or something else?

I'm building a jumping off ledge with a waterfall. When I run the pump fast enough or turn off enough pool returns it clears no problem. If the speed is too low it will trickle down the front and out of the pool. Is that just the way it is or am I missing something?

I have a new Hayward heat pump, the round one, and it only has an on/off button and temp up or down buttons. Can it only be set to heat? For example I set it to 82 so it holds that overnight but if the water gets to 83 is automatically starts cooling. Can it be set only to heat? Thanks

First season with the new build pool, 22k lagoon with 140k btu heat pump. Is it common practice to set the temp and just let it run 24/7? We will use it randomly and pretty frequently so an extra 50 to 100 per month to extend the season is no big deal but I'd like to not get hit with 300 or more...

Figured I'd share. 16x32x28 liner lagoon, poly walls, Hayward tristar vs, heat pump, salt system, and sr treo led lights. Anyone have a suggestion for mounting the boxes for the salt, lights, etc on siding cleanly? Is it doable to mount them inside to reduce wear?

I have an Eon spa at a rental property that is missing the floating weir. It just has the basket in the housing and it looks like the weir clicks in with maybe a 1/4 turn or something. I have pictures of the basket and the spa but unfortunately not of the housing. Thanks in advance!

I'm looking at a new build and want to use a VS pump (Pentair intelliflow), IC60 salt cell, and possibly Suntouch solar controller. The builder will install these for a markup as expected but I can get them much cheaper myself. Any reason not to? I would have no problem with the plumbing or...

So thinking about DIYing a liner pool. Looking at Royal Pools 16x32 or 18x36. Considering it mostly for cost savings but being able to have it installed before 2022 is a big item as well. I am well versed in construction but have never taken on an inground pool. I plan to hire out excavation...

I've had my spa for almost two months now and never had a problem with water clarity. I use the three step bromine system and my bromine level is usually 2-6ppm. TA is kept around 80, CH 140 and Ph is usually about 7.6. Temp is 97F and my filter settings are one hour every 12. When I opened my...

I'm installing a new 340 gallon portable spa with ozonator tomorrow and would like to use bromine for sanitation. I have read the bromine primer and understand that I need to establish a bromine bank and that my ozonator will oxidize that into sanitizer continously as well as when I shock it...
