Hello everyone, I appear to have sprung a leak on what I think is my slave anode. It is leaking right below the black cap on top. How do I go about repairing this myself??

Hi everyone I wanted to get peoples opinion on how deal wit this problem. We have a overflow port on the side of our vinyl pool. We have centipede grass and I’m not really sure if it is the salt content in the water or just the amount of water the centipede is seeing. Centipede does not require...

Hey guys I wanted to get some input on replacing my sacrificial zinc anode. Our pool is about seven years old and I have never replaced the zinc. Considering I can’t even make out how much zinc is left, I probably should replace this season. First question is what is the wire going to from the...

Hello all, not sure where else to post such a question, but what is everyone’s take on covering pool equipment (sand filter, pumps etc.) from the elements? Jokingly, we have two seasons here in NC, winter with ice and brutal steamy summers. At 6 years old our equipment is showing some effects as...

So my pump stopped working sunday afternoon. Whenever I turn it on, it is making a buzzing sound for about 5-6 seconds, clicks and then is silent. It does NOT trip the breaker.

I guess my ladder and handrail is SS but not so much the escutcheons. Looking to replace these. By far the most common size escutcheons has an ID of 1.90". By my calculations my hand rail and ladder diameter is about a 2". Could I perhaps be mis-measuring (I measured a string wrapped around pole...

Most recently, my panel is reading 2500 ppm. I add 2-40 lb bags and it brings it up to maybe 2700. In the past, that much salt would have brought it to maybe 2900-3000? Although it is spring, we have not had THAT MUCH rain and I have not had to add much water due to evaporation. We leave our...

Hi all, just wanted to drop in and introduce myself. As thread says I am a long time lurker. We are on season 4 of our pool and loving it! I have learned a lot from this forum, especially since I am apparently the SME (subject matter expert) for the care and maintenance of our pool. I have over...
