Long story short - sister's house in Fort Myers had 4' of water in the yard during Ian, which put their pool equipment entirely under water. Their year-old Intelliflo VSF pump appears, as you'd expect, to be shot. I'm no equipment expert but looks like pentair uses this same wet end for...

Short version: Parents in their late 70s. Dad stopped taking care of the pool ~10 years ago, let it become a swamp, we got it under control over a period of months and hundreds of dollars, and are now on the 6th or 7th "professional" pool service. Going rate is now $125 a month, and the last...

Need some advice. My father (who is in generally poor health and is still "with it" but getting worse) decided to stop taking care of his 15k gallon inground pool. In florida. In the middle of summer. After 3 months, I returned home to discover that he essentially let the pool turn into a...

So I'm just converting to SWG and struggling with my salt levels - according to my Hayward AQR panel I'm at 3400 ppm. According to the (well inside expiration date) Aquacheck strips that came with it, I'm somewhere between 1200 and 2000, depending on which strip I choose to believe. Based on...

Ok, just redid my pump and filter connections, and everything went great, except that 2 of my 3 threaded fittings have a slow drip. What's the secret here? I gave each 2-3 wraps of teflon tape, hand tightened, and then tightened some more. The ones on the filter appeared to be almost all the...

Quick background: S. Florida in-ground pool, 13k-15k gallons. I have a skimmer and a vac line, and two returns, each plumbed 1.5" PVC. Current equipment is a Sta-Rite P2RA5D-180L 3/4 HP wired 220v. My pool store mentioned this was "really more than 3/4". No idea on that. Also have a...
