Greetings, I'm looking for a pool cover that'll make it easier to open next year. The cover that I had been using sags from the weight of leaves and drops down to the point of where the water is, typically a foot .... just below the skimmer. I envision something that I can pull and latch that...

So first time running the pump since last year. Prior to powering it, I made sure it's all primed and not running dry. I fire it up and smell that smell ... and it actually shut off before I could. This is a Hayward Power-flow LX that I've only had maybe a little more than a year and a half...

So I usually don't have the issues that I'm having - when opening my pool. I've not been using bleach or any liquid chlorine this opening. I have been shocking it. As of now, I my TA is 0 and my PH is probably 4~. My CYA is also at 60 already so I'm not thrilled about that. I added 8 pounds of...

What are my options with this? The filter is 5 years old and I've never really done anything with it. It is a 0-1709-024 (Doughboy part). My pump has some noisy bearings which I've not replaced yet. Would this be a good time to just replace the whole assembly?

First power up of the year and there's noise coming from the pump/motor. Initially I thought it was bearings until I stethoscoped it and the noise is definitely coming from the pump/impeller area. It's pumping good with good pressures. Does it sound like something is lodged into the impeller area?

I am thinking about putting together a homemade chlorinator using a vented 5 gallon bucket with screw on lid for easy refill. It will use gravity to supply 12.5% bleach to the side of the skimmer. I am also planning on installing a 12v solenoid that will open and close flow (inline to the...

I opened the pool a few months ago and everything was going great until last week. The strainer cover had a crack and finally blew off. As a result of this, the pump ran dry for at least 8 hours. I replaced the cover yesterday, having a hard time getting it primed and when I did there was a lot...

Time to start draining water? 23,000 gallons CL -10+ TA-110 PH - 7.2 CH - 120 CYA - 90 The pool is green. Thanks trichlor pucks!

Greetings all, Happy to be a member of the site. I was a bit intimidated with managing my pool last year after we got it.... and didn't pay much attention to it other then throwing a sack of shock and a chlorine puck in it every now and then. I closed the pool and when I opened it 10 days ago I...
