After having pump motor bearings fail, pump seals leak, plumbing union crack and leak, and spending time finding the repair parts, I now keep a supply of pvc pipe & fittings, unions, motor bearings, pump seals, o-rings, etc. Most common pool emergencies can be handled quickly. As a "Do it...

I occasionally wished I could use a traditional pool cleaning setup in certain situations. Our pool's filter system and skimmer led me to believe this was not to be. I then read about using a cleaner with the hose attached to the suction side of the debris canister housing. The canister/bag...

We are having our pool refinished and have noticed the fiber optic light lenses are cracked. The system is a FiberStars but the lenses and fittings appear to be Nexxus. It appears that the lens and fiber optic cable are a one piece system. Just wondering if we are in for replacing the...

Our skimmer has a plate that can pivot to restrict the flow to the pump or restrict the flow at the equalizer line. We have had the plate in a position that does not restrict either line. Have run this way for 2 seasons without any known problems. The pool is now getting refinished and would...

Our pool's water is filtered from the main drain only. The skimmer water is not filtered and feeds the in floor cleaning system. I use skimmer socks to help "filter" the water that ends up back in the pool via the nozzles. Would it be practical to install a filter in the skimmer's plumbing...

We have a beach entry to our pool that pigeons and other birds enjoy using as a bath and a camode. Put a scarecrow sprinkler nearby and darned if it didn't work! I am sure some of you out in the country have deterents for animals. This may work for those who may need one. looking forward to...

We have the priviledge of being the oasis for the neighborhood wasps. Their nests are not on our property so getting rid of them poses a problem. They enjoy drinking from the pool and bounce around on the lawn. They do not get annoyed when we swim or out in the yard and do not bother...

I found this stuff. http://santasticpoolmastic.com/index.html I would be willing to go through the effort to remove the old mastic and install this stuff to save 5 or 6 c notes. Would like other opinions if anyone has one. Thanks.

Can't use it. Hope someone can!

Have a beach entry with an umbrella stand. Looking for the cap that covers the "hole". My search efforts have been futile so far. Any help would be appreciated! I will keep searching. Thanks!

We have an Aqua Logic AQL-P-4 Control. The clock is fast. Now 15 mins from reset from DST. Yeah, I know, 15 mins in 4 mos. aint nuthin' to cry about. Just would like to know if this is normal or a potential problem. Thanks! (I have set the time with the remote control in the house.)

Has anyone put a meter on the autofill for the pool? We are about to go from a flat rate to pay for usage water. It would be nice to know how much water is going in the pool. It may also help to determine leaks, evaporation, etc. Any info would be appreciated.

Our new to us home came with an empty pool (now full and looking good) with Paramount pcc2000 and mdx2 main drain with debris basket. I presently run the cleaner independent of the main drain. Should they run at the same time for better cleaning? I have found no info from Paramount on the...

We have an in floor cleaning system (pcc2000) that seems to work ok with larger debris. Just seems to push the dirt around though. The skimmer inlet does not go to the filter but to a pump and to the pcc2000. I want to use a skimmer adapter and manual vacuum to get the dirt that settles. Will...

Is there a way to "update" the p-4 control panel to provide two separate pump/filter daily run times? The Chlorine generator and ozone generator have been taken offline and the pool's chemistry is BBB. Would think this computer could be made to program 2 or 3 run times other than the one that...

This is my first experience with an in floor cleaner. I have been running the pcc 2000 for 1/2 hour prior to running the main drain/filter. The cleaner cycles through each zone approx 10 times within the 1/2 hour. I have no problems (yet) with large amounts of debris, leaves etc that the...

This is the 2nd Rave I have for this company! Jim at Paramount coached me through the PCC 2000 in floor cleaner system operation. (All the nozzles were switched around when the pool was emptied before we bought the home) He told me which nozzle sizes go where and how they are positioned. I...

We need to add stabilizer but, following the directions on the container is difficult. It says to add to the skimmer with the pump running. I will assume that most skimmers lead to the filter. Our plumbing is constructed different. Pump one: Skimmer to pump to PCC2000 Valve to infloor...

Opened the pool that came with the new to us home. The pool was empty and needed some return eyeball and main drain cover replacement. After filling the pool, we flipped the main breaker to the P-4 panel. No readout of any kind at the control pad. No power to pumps (3). No readout at...

We will be moving into a new to us home that has a Pebble-tec pool that has been empty for a few months. The finish appears to be in excellent shape with no visible cracks or damage. The return eyeballs and downjets need replacing and the maindrain will be brought up to code. When we spoke...

I needed to replace the main drain cover and get info on debris canister parts. Both are Paramount products. One of the most professional, customer oriented companies I have ever dealt with. :whoot: :-D :-D :party: Anyone who has Paramount equipment, getting Paramount equipment, or need...

We are purchasing a home with an IG pool that is empty and needs minor repairs. It has a pcc2000 in floor cleaning system, mdx debris system, waterfall. We are moving from a home with a pool which I have done all the maintenance and chems. Has basic pump, skimmer, suction cleaner equipment...
