I am having trouble removing several of the winterizing plugs on our spa jets. They are in rough shape and should have been replaced long ago but I was unable to find replacements. 1. Does anyone have recommendations for how to get these out if the protruding nut is no longer usable? I've tried...

Can anyone recommend a tool for doing a pool plumbing layout? Something like the drawings in this thread: https://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/2-pump-plumbing-diagram-critique.56506/

I am closing the pool on my own this year and have some questions about closing the in-floor cleaner. In the past, my pool guy has removed the heads from the top 2 steps and plugged them with rubber plugs. However, when I blow out the ports, they still have water in them. I am using a shopvac...

We are having our pool re-plastered soon. We currently have a Caretaker system which doesn't work well anymore due to plaster build-up around each head. We use a robotic cleaner anyway and I would like to remove the pop-up heads for aesthetics and less maintenance. One of the companies said...

Our 27 year old Hayward DE-4800 developed a crack in the shell today a few hours after opening the pool. Pool is 16x32 plus a small spa. I am leaning towards a cartridge filter for the lower maintenance requirements. Will these still get the water crystal clear? Our DE filter made the water...

At the beginning of the season, we installed a new SWG in our Plaster pool. Previously we used tablets in a CL220, which always worked fine. I am now struggling to keep Chlorine in the pool. We have a solar system along with a VSP, so depending on how much sun we get, the flow is either very...

I am about to do some re-plumbing and would like to avoid the blue/purple stains. Has anyone tried this product? It seems to get very good reviews and it's clear, but wanted to check if it's ok for pool use. Also, it doesn't say anything about CPVC (which their all-purpose does), so I assume...

Found this great diagram: http://www.poolzoom.com/hayward-sp0740-de-2-selecta-flo-valve-parts.html But I cannot tell from the diagram which order the o-ring set goes. Is the teflon ring close to the spring or is the rubber o-ring close to the spring? Anyone know?

Just opened the pool. I have the correct pressure on the filter meter when using the backwash setting on the multiport. When I switch to the filter setting, I get no pressure and no output from the pool returns. I removed the return winterizing plugs. It makes a gurgling sound from the pump...

I need to replace a 3-way valve that feeds my pump. I am hoping for some advice as to where to make cuts and how to get the new valve installed. See the attached picture, there is not a lot of room on one side of the valve to cut the pipe and have enough left to feed into the valve. Any...

I recently purchased a house with a pool. I am trying to get the pool opened and my pool guy does not know what this device is. It's in the skimmer that is closest to the spa. Anyone know what it is?
