Have a remote that just quit working. Thought it was the batteries so swapped them out with a fresh pair, still nothing. The indicator light at the bottom of the remote doesn't flash as it used to and all the buttons are no longer in control of any of their functions. Before I make a $400 order...

Seems like that should be a simple operation except on my control panel the "+" button is dead. I've been working around it by using the "-" button to go completely around to do settings which is a real pain but hadn't got to the point of doing something about it. Today I see the panel says to...

Really need to upgrade from my old single speed 1.5 HP pump. Don't have any water features and only thing I would like is maybe adding solar panels in the future. Part of the reason to upgrade is to save on electricity and I'm wondering if going with 3 HP VS will still make sense in operating...

I'm in Wisconsin so it wouldn't be long and my pool will be a frozen ice cube. I'm presently vacuuming, sweeping and slamming to make sure it's where it's supposed to be as this week I'll be blowing the lines and putting on the cover for winter. It'll be covered for 6-7 months. I normally open...

I have an old Hayward S240 two piece side valve filter that the top is cracking quite a bit and leaking more than is reasonable. I'd like to just get a new top half for it but anything I can find is more than half the price of a new filter. In the near future I'm thinking of going to a VS pump...

I've posted links to http://poncatechsquad.com/Dan/Chlorine/ in the past as it was a great tool for comparing different strengths and jug sizes of bleach as it reduced everything to cost per oz, same strength. Today it came up as a "Bad Request (Invalid Hostname)" Is there another I can use or...

I have an older Hayward sand filter and it seems to have lost a bit of it's performance. I opened it up to take a look at it and I'm wondering if it has enough sand in it. There's no info on the filter but I'm pretty sure it's a S240 that's supposed to hold 300lbs of sand. Plenty of room to add...

I've been searching here and on the net to see what would be involved in adding an underwater light to my 40 year old vinyl liner pool. I can't find any articles or any show and tell on it. Has anyone done it or seen an article on it with photos ?? Wondering what would be the best way to cut a...

I get tired of vacuuming the pool but the owner (my GF) says she's been told automatic cleaners get hung up in her shaped pool. I tend to think that old info like the fight I went through to stop using algecide and switching over to the TFP method and buying a TF100 also applies to what cleaners...

This dog really knows how to float in style ;) Bdog The Bear In The Pool with - YouTube

I finally talked my GF (owner) into sending the LP heater on it's way to becoming something useful by way or recycling. For eight years it's sat without being used due to the cost of LP. OK, I'm leaning toward a heatpump because the operation cost is cheap, no spa connected to the pool and tried...

Adding a like button would be a way to +1 a post without actually having to add length to the thread.

My solar cover is finally to the point that so much of the bubble wrap is popped it's having a hard time floating. I need the heat (Wisconsin) so I'm going with clear as it seems it has the best solar gain letting the sun in. In the past have bought a big rectangular cover and cut it down to...

It just seems like it will never end. Dumped in 12 boxes and added some acid and swept it all together and then added the rest and swept some more to get it all dissolved and now waiting to do some balancing...

Trying to attach photo from my computer and told over my limit. Do I need to go in and delete something from storage ?? I looked around and don't see where it might be.

I started slamming with liquid chlorine over a week ago. Granted the pool was terrible since the owner (girlfriend) didn't want to put it to sleep last year with the proper level of chemicals so it was pretty nasty. I took out about 4 gallons of leaves and pine needles from the bottom but I...

I have a spare motor and pump that I'm trying to tear down and overhaul. Tried an impact but it didn't help. When I tried to take off the four bolts holding the pump housing together all four sheared off. I still have the whole assembly together (motor, impeller housing and body) and I tried to...

My top was leaking most of last year and someone previously had tried to silicone it so I knew it needed replacement. I didn't mind the price of the O ring but the spanner tool P/N S200KT was four times the O rings cost. Normally I love to buy tools but I don't think I'll be doing this again. I...

I have created your own new thread so it doesn't confuse responders and readers. Anyone with any experience using the Venturi eyeballs, good or bad ?? I'm thinking of adding one or two for the same reason.

I have some solar panels made by Aquatherm model 10001-2. They were not treated the best and presently I have some tubes on the exterior edge ripped that I would like to seal back together and two of the collectors have a couple inch seperations between the tube material and the header. Is...
