OK, just an idea we're kicking around... We inherited the pool with the house, and realized after a while that the original owners put the pool on the shadiest part of the yard. We're thinking about the feasibility of MOVING it to the other side where there is much more sun. Currently, we use...

My new micro-mesh cover is sinking into the pool water. (I thought it was supposed to sort of *sit* on the water.) I'm worried that when it freezes, it will damage the cover. There are no leaves on the cover, and the cable is tied tightly around the cover perimeter. Any thoughts...

I'm considering either a solid cover or a mesh cover for my AG pool. My conditions: * moderate-hard winters * LEAVES! Oh so many leaves! * Rainy springs * Many animals and birds using the cover as a toilet/bath in spring (* water supply is not expensive here) Equipment: * a tiny cover pump...

What effect , if any, will it have on my water? Can I just go all season without it?

I already posted that my new Hayward pump had a "blade" style plug instead of the twist lock. So, I was going to replace the plug end as advised. When I cut it off, I realized that the new pump's cord is 16 AWG wire. (The pump is a 1.5 HP, 12 amp; the receptacle is 20amp; the OLD pump was...

The cover had a couple of holes, it rained like heck in April, May, June, and it hasn't been hot (80+) yet this summer. The water is brown, like BROWN brown. How to go about opening it? So far, I've backwashed. Black Algaecide next? Shock? Mineral treatment? Any direction would be...

OK, so many questions... My filter is running at 30 psi after a good clean backwash, which is higher than it usually is. Also, it is leaking a trickle around the multi-port. I just opened and the water is murky. I also am replacing the pump this week because the shaft and bearings are rusted...

OK, so the dead pump is being replaced. I got a deal on its replacement but it is not the same plug. I have a TWIST outlet, but the new pump has a 3-prong plug. Should I change out the PLUG or change out the OUTLET?

Just opened the pool for the season and the pump made a high pitch noise, did nothing, and then smoked. Then, it was silent. OK, so: A) it's dead, right? B) how long should a pump last? C) how much should I spend for a new pump for a 12x24 above ground pool?
