First, a little history: This pool was resurfaced in September 2017. Prior to that we had no rust issues with our pool light. They put in a new pool light because the 30 year old bulb in the old one had died. In July 2018, I noticed a small rust stain underneath the pool light. I called a...

Hello, We are in process of having our pool cage painted and rescreened. Yesterday, they pressure washed the very dirty cage with a bleachy-smelling solution. I wasn't concerned at first because I figured it would just raise my chlorine levels. After they left, I went out to look around and...

Hello, We had our pool refinished from painted plaster to Pebblesheen last month. Our pool builder did the start up, but now we are taking over. I know it's common with new surfaces for the pool ph to rise and acid will be needed frequently for quite a while. My question is why? Why do new...

I'm in process of putting on a new Sta-Rite Dura Glass motor. I have the ceramic seal already pressed into the housing between the motor and impeller. I tried to put the spring part of the seal on the shaft in between impeller and housing, but it seemed like the spring part of the seal did not...

So, I've decided that it's time to take the backwash line of my sand filter underground. Right now it empties about 12" above the ground and is right beside the pump. I'm wondering if that contributed to the motor failure we just had... Anyway, my question is once I put it the line underground...

I'm replacing my Sta-Rite Dura-Glass motor. Like the old one, the new one has slots in the housing that I assume are to allow the heat to escape. However, the backwash line off my sand filter empties out right next to the pump. The old motor had a metal cover that did not really fit properly and...

On my old Sta-Rite Dura-Glas motor, there was nothing hooked to the bonding hub on top. It only had the green, black, and white wires that actually went into the back end of the motor. The new motor I am replacing it with also has a bonding hub on top. I am wondering what it is for and if I...

I'm installing a new pump motor. Replacing a Sta-Rite Dura-Glas. I put in the ceramic seal on the pump housing that goes in front of the actual motor, but the shaft for the motor does not sit tightly through the ceramic seal. Is this normal? Or is something wrong? Should there be space between...
