Hello, My Hayward 1.5 LX pump just died on me and I am attempting to replace it with a Doheny 1.5 hp pump. I have a filter cartridge (swim pro voyager) that was previously connected directly to the pump. However, the Doheny fitting sits on the top and not the side so am at a loss for how to...

Hi, I'm having an issue with fairly constant algae growth but only on the bottom of the pool....my water is clear and balanced. I think the issue is with my pump/motor because the pool bottom area directly in front of the return jet is clean and clear. About 10-15 feet from the return there...

I will start by saying, I apologize if my tone comes across as short, angry or rude...believe me it is just frustration at myself. I'm in my 4th year of owning a pool, and I've learned a lot. However, I cannot for the life of me keep my water clean, clear and pretty. most of my neighbors also...

just curious, and maybe a stupid question but...what else (if anything) is in liquid solar covers besides isopropyl alcohol? I've used those on occasion with some success, but I don't like paying $10 a bottle for them. From the looks and smell of it, it's just alcohol and food coloring! Is it...

Hoping somebody can help me with some troubleshooting here. just in the last few days my pump has lost some pressure. It still runs and it still circulates, but it's not blasting into the pump (normally it's rushing like a waterfall against the top of the pump basket lid). I also can't get...

The pool is all closed up and I'm wondering what chemicals need to be stored inside and which ones (if any) can stay outside in the shed for the winter? I live near Chicago and it gets pretty cold. Thanks!

So here's a first...I cleaned the filter and vacuumed the pool, no problems. It was pretty dirty so I was going to clean the filter again when I was done, and had a little problem...the lock ring on the filter came unscrewed from the lid itself and came off! I can't get it to lock back onto...

I moved into a house with a pool about 2 years ago, and have spent a lot of that time replacing the inherited equipment and accessories. One piece I haven't replaced yet is the auto-vac. They had one of those little lady bug things, and it just seems to sit and spin in one little 4 foot round...

I posted on here a while back, asking about my pool being cloudy and I couldn't fix it. I was told to get a Taylor testing kit, which I did...here's the results... FC-10.5 ppm (I shocked it like crazy last night to try and clear it up) Comb. Chlorine- .5 ppm PH- 7.6 Alkalinity- 180 ppm...

This is my 2nd summer with a pool. Last summer we drained the water out and started over because the previous home owner didn't maintain it very well. This year however we just added more water and now I can't get it clean. I've done liquid shock, adjusted the Ph levels, added algaecide...it...
