Hello I am replacing my old pool pump which has 1.5" fittings to a new variable speed which only has 2" connections and only comes with a union for 2" plumbing. Can anyone direct me where to purchase a union which is actually a reducer? The pump doesn't come with an adapter for my 1.5" plumbing...

Hello I have a circupool rj 60 I installed and used fine last year. This year it is shooting something, bubbles or a powder or something back through the return jets and a lot of it. Thought I had a suction leak but I've turned the SWG on and off a bunch of times and it only happens when it's...

Hi, wanted to see if someone may recognize what this is. Had a new vinyl liner put in at the end of last season and it was immediately closed for the season by the pool company, I didn't do the closing like usual so I am unsure of what chemicals they may have used. I opened the pool this...

Hello, was a little confused on how to open my pool this year. Had a new liner installed at the end of last season, pool was filled with fresh water then immediately closed. Just purchased a new CircuPool SWG and was going to install it later today (pool is still covered and closed). Wanted...

Hello I have an older 1.5 hp pump for my pool and a friend has new 2hp Pentair Wisperflo Pump that has 2" ports that he is going to give me. Can this be used with my existing pool plumbing that is only 1.5" throughout, using a reducer for the PVC connections? I also have a 60 sq.ft. Hayward DE...

Hi I have a large vinyl liner inground pool - no main drain or pool lights, just 2 skimmers and 3 return jets. Losing about 1-1.5 inches of water for every 12 hours when the pump is off overnight. No water loss when the pump is running, have tested this a few times already. Figured it must...

Hello, this is my first season opening my inground pool at my home, I closed it last summer and flushed the DE filter and washed the grids, so everything is clean for the opening. A little confused on when I should add DE powder to coat the grids. Pool is very dirty so I do have to do a good...

Hello, I'm trying to figure out how to get rid of an old diving board base that seems to be embedded in concrete without doing too much damage. I'll attach the pictures, my deck is all pavers but this base seems to be just completely in concrete, even if I can just get the base/bolts out and...

Hello, still figuring out the plumbing on an inground pool I inherited with a home purchase. In the photos I'll attach I have a waste/backwash line that runs from my filter and exits at the exterior wall from my pool room, where you can then attach a hose or let it just dump. Also directly...

Asking to see if anyone knows what type of port this is - excuse the dirty pics of the pool wall, bought a house with an inground pool and still figuring out the equipment part. My pool has (3) return jets around the walls of the pool that appear to function normally pushing out a flow of...

Please bear with me as I try and explain this correctly. I've owned homes with above ground pools before so I am familiar with the SLAM process and have always followed it. Purchased a new home that had an inground pool - vinyl liner - that hadn't been opened in a few years. From the old...

Hello I have an above ground pool with Hayward Sand Filter. Noticed sand was getting in the pool and had a broken center lateral pipe so I'm trying to replace the entire assembly. I got all the sand out and drained the tank, ready to put the new lateral assembly back in but for some reason I...

Hello I attached a few pictures, especially of my above ground pool steps, which I think may be the cause of problems. I have a 24' Round above ground pool with a 1.5hp Hayward Sand filter. I have a constant algae problem, past 2 years, I can do a SLAM and get it cleared up only to come back a...

Hello, wanted to see if anyone can help identify what is all over the bottom of my pool constantly for the past 2 seasons. Looks like brown dirt, but puffs into a cloud when I brush it. I can vacuum to waste and it will be there a few days later. This is in an above ground pool, I thought it...

Hello, I have a Hayward sand filter, 24' above ground pool. I opened the pool and my CYA was 0. 2 weeks ago I added a gallon of liquid conditioner hoping to get my CYA levels up, checked it again this morning and it was still at 0. I proceeded to add a few pounds of the granular to my...

Hello all, I've been reading through here a lot but still a little confused on what I need to buy: I am having a new 24' round above ground installed this Monday, hoping it all goes well then I can start filling it up. I will not have a filter hooked up for at least 2 weeks due to an...
