I was due for a drain and fill anyway but algae took over before I could do it. Do I need to try to clean the green off the wall, or can I refill and shock the heck out of it. Thank you

This does not look normal. Thinking I just replace with the same model to avoid plumbing changes?

Hey Guys, I never understood the heater by-pass valve. How should it be set. I think I want water always flowing through the heater so how should this valve be set. Thank you!

Hi Guys, over the winter had a Pentair Intelliflow 2 HP Variable speed pump installed to replace my single speed Northstar. Just started using it and noticed the high speed setting of 3100RPM is not working well. My floor vac which used to work excellent now leaves tons of leaves. I can tell...

Hey Guys, just got a new expensive variable speed pump. Being in Arizona, wondering what you guys think of these sun covers to protect the pump from the harsh summer environment. Thank you

Hi Guys, I had a 2HP IntelliFlow installed yesterday. It's communicating with my Aqualink via an Intellicom module. With this, I only get two programming set points. High and Low. So, he set it up to run at 3100 RPMs for six hours, then 1500 RPMs for six hours. At 3100, I am not sure if...

Hey Guys, looking to replace my 15 year old Hayward Northstar SP4015NS 1.5hp pump. Will the Intellflow work with my Jandy AquaLink RS automation. Is there anything else I should think about. Thank you

Hey Guys, how would you tackle fixing this. Thank you!

Anyone know of a way to continuously scare the birds away from my whirlpool spa. I can't stand out there all day.

Hey Guys, I run my pump 4 hours in the spring and 7 hours during the hottest summer. I have floor vac and pop ups. I may be wrong but I don't see a variable speed pump benefiting me much. Is there a more efficient single speed pump that what I currently have. Thank you!

My pump is 15 years old and I am wanting to plan for a replacement. I like this pump as it is fuss free. It just runs great. I only need to run 7 hours at night during cheap electricity and my pool stays clear. It runs my pop ups fine. Are there other fuss free options out there. Thank you

Hey Guy, when my pump shuts off, it burps water out from under the cover. I thought it was the gasket, so I cleaned overthing up, added new rubber gasket, covered in lube and no change. Still burps out water. :rolleyes:

Hi Guys, new for 2020. The water in my spa is 4 inches low. The water in pool is high. This is after the filter runs at night. Thanks

First time experience since we had pool over 7 years. Went out to swim and was overwhelmed by smell of Chlorine. Thought it was over chlorinated. Took out my floating chlorine tablet floater for a week now. In sunny, hot Arizona, the water is still testing like this in photo. I still think...

Hi Guys, is it possible for me to add these holes/inserts in my concrete on an existing pool. I want to put 3 umbrellas around my pool list this.

I would love to have three of these on my pool deck. Are they hard to install after the pool is already built. Thank you

Hi Guys, my pump is constantly repriming at start up. Also, when the pump is shut off, you can see the pump drain itself. Also, the motor is making a rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr noise. I have owned the pool for 5 years and all the symptoms are new. Also, just cleaned all filters and strainers...

Every time I turn on my pump, it is re-priming. The pool water level is fine. I don't see any plumbing leaks. Air is getting in the system as the floor cleaning heads shoot out air bubbles until it clears.

PVC Composite wood and stainless steel spikes. I put this on the hot tub when we are not swimming. Next step, BB gun.

My lid self-destructed last night while I slept. Amazing how much the pool drained itself. Side of house flooded. Wish there was a fail safe to shut to pump off when this happens..

Hi Guys, one of my pops up came apart in the pool. The spring the bottom cap never came out of the plumping. Any thoughts on how to get it out.

Flow to the pool nearly stopped, spiking the pressure in the filter to 45psi. The filters are perfectly clean. No blockages in the pool or skimmer. I took apart the A&A Manufacturing Six Port Housing and found one pop up shaft laying in the bottom (see photo) and several just about to come...

After my last filter cleaning, when I close the orange relief, it still allows air to leak out. Can hear it. Is there a fix or is the part shot. Thanks!

Hi Guys. Can you help me make some decisions. I need to replace the tile on this spa. Can any tile person do it, or do I need a pool contractor? I can replace just the tile on top, but would like to do the face of the dam wall. Any pros/cons to do that. I imagine then I would need a pool...

Hi Guys, I can't find a way to get out the little piles of sand at bottom of pool that are created by the cleaning heads. If I use a regular net on a pole, sand falls right through. Thanks

This morning I tested the pool equipment. It was about 45 degrees. The pool motor was making a intermittent errrrr, errrrrrrrrr, err, errrrrrr noise. I tested again this afternoon when it was 68 degrees and the noise was gone. Should I take any action at this point. The pool is 11 years...

Hey Guys, can you let me know how to fix this leak. Thanks!

My pool motor is 7 years old. There is just a little bearing noise when it starts up. I was thinking of replacing just the motor (not the pump) now while it's still working so I am not caught by surprise now that is summer in Arizona. I don't want to go to variable now. Just the motor. Do...

I only have my pump running for one hour all winter. Now the temps are 90 during the day and 55 at night. When should I start my normal chlorine treatments and running the pump for longer periods. We are not swimming yet. Probably won't until end of May. Thanks

Hi Guys, pictured is the tube that runs from my filter head. It looks the I have a lead from the threaded part of this fitting that goes into the PVC. Is there a way to fix this without having to replace the PVC? Thanks! - - - Updated - - - - - - Updated - - - Hmm. The photo is turned...
