    PAC FAB Multiport valve

    I have an old PAC FAB Model "SP710 Sand" multi-port valve on my filter. It has started to leak in various positions. I reasonably believe that the Spider gasket is in need of replacement. Problem is it is an old valve and I'm having difficulty locating parts. I have been going back and forth...

    Pump repair questions

    Towards the end of last season I noticed water seeping out of my superpump, and if it was shut off for several hours it would lose prime. I just replaced my pump with a PureLine model from INYO, the replacement was a breeze. Since the old pump is at least 15+ years old I thought replacement was...

Is it possible for me to loose 10ppm of CYA with that? My evening test results are pH 7.5 FC 9 CC 0 Ch 100 Alk 140 CYA 60...

    Stains on steps

    I have this brown staining on my steps I can only lighten it, not remove it with heavy scrubbing with a green pad. What do I need to do to remove them?

    New to Pool

    My wife and I purchased our home in December and with it came a pool. We have no idea when it was last open but best guess is summer of 2012. I opened it up on May 5th and found a pool resembling a small pond minus the fish info in Sig line. I have some past experience with an above ground pool...
