I have never sensed any electricity in my pool water prior to today as I was cleaning the skimmer basket of the pump itself. The water inside the pump shocked me pretty good a few times. I read the thread that talked about water in the pool shocking as a result of the bonding wire not being...

It sounds like it's excessive, but I'm new to all this and the spa is new to me. What you are hearing is pump 1 (noisy to me) Then pump 2 on low speed, then on high speed (all sounds normal and functions fine,, Even when it sounds like it's just humming) Then pump 1 again...

Thanks guys.

My diving board anchor bolts are horribly rusted. I've found that my local fastenal has 1/2" anchor wedge bolts with a pull out strength of 4,400 pounds each. That seems sufficient, so what do you think about it as an option?

My light does not work, so I've begun the process of troubleshooting. I believe the gfci was incorrectly wired because my GFCI tester says OPEN HOT. But it got me thinking...

I have a 36k gallon pool that has a 1.5 single speed pump. How can I tell if a 1.65 variable speed will work?

Hey guys. There is nothing wrong with my 1.5hp Super Pump, however guy at Leslies was selling me on the benefits of switching over to a 1.5hp variable speed. My thinking here is that I can run the thing 20-24 hours a day at the low setting to skim the pool all day long and keep it cleaner...

1. Pump off = no water loss 2. Pump on = 1" per day loss So it's return side right??? Then why in the world does it not lose any water if I close the skimmer basket suction lines?

I just bought a home with a vinyl liner pool. I quickly found that the pool has a leak and drops about an inch a day. Through initial trial and error, I found that the water loss is seemingly non existent when I utilize the floor drain only. Additionally, I saw no apparent correlation to the...

Figured it out. . may all my problems in life be figured out before I get a reply to a question!

I'm buying a new home and it does not have a pool fence, and unfortunately with 4 little ones that is going to be expensive. I've been pondering my options and after 10 years of pool ownership in Georgia I've come to think that this thing I found on youtube may be the perfect solution. It...
