My pool heater has worked fairly well for the 11 years that I've owned it, but now I can't get it to stay lit. Background: The heater came with the house/pool when I bought it out of foreclosure in 2012. I don't know any history on it before that, but it is old. In 2013 I wasn't getting...

My Pentair Sand Dollar filter that I bought about three years ago (after recommendations from this thread https://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/63662-Do-I-need-a-new-filter-Recommendations?p=538553) sprung a pin hole leak in the seem of the tank. So now I need a new filter, and...
