    Texas freeze damage - Sand filter replacement help needed

    I live in North Texas and due to the freeze last week we went without power for several days. The obvious damage that I’ve found so far is that a PVC pipe froze and blew off. But more importantly, the sand filter cracked. I’ve seen some used ones for sale locally, so if I decided to go that...

    Bad timer motor or user error?

    We've been having issues with our pump timer not working. We finally narrowed it down and believe it was the timer motor. So I ordered the replacement timer motor and switched it out yesterday. But after turning the power back on at the breaker, the pump won't turn on now. I took pictures...

    Fix polaris 360 or replace it?

    Our Polaris 360 has not been working so we took it to the local pool store to get it fixed. I knew that there was a hole in one of the hoses and a few of the connectors were leaking, so I figured we'd just have to replace the whole hose. They said they could do a water test to figure out...

    Freeze Guard

    My pool does not currently have a freeze guard, so I'm wondering how expensive it is to add one and if that is something that I can do myself or if we need to hire someone to do it. I'm in Texas, so it seldom gets cold enough to worry about, but when it does, I would appreciate the convenience...

    Is it okay to leave CH high and deal with it in the spring?

    Hi y'all! We recently purchased a house (in the Fort Worth, Texas area) that has a pool that has been serviced by a pool company. As a "courtesy", they continued to service it through the end of September. Since then I've been trying to educate myself on the BBB method so I can get up to...
