I'm pretty frustrated as I continue to have drips where the flex pipe meets the fitting. No issues with the fitting going into the hardware, just the host on the fitting. I'm looking for suggestions on what folks have found works for them. I think am currently using 1.5" flex with smooth...

Previous BBBer but it's been a while since I have done the BBB method. About two years ago I converted to trichlor pucks because I would be away on weekends and had no one to manage the pool. I thought it might be easier, especially since I winterize the above-ground pool and swap out at least a...

I am looking at adding a chlorine feeder to the pool this year since we will be away on vacation often and there will be no one available to add liquid chlorine. We only run the pool for 3 months in the summer and end up swapping out about 1/2 the total water each year due to winterization so I...

Hi I am replacing my liner and have purchased a U/J liner that can also be changed to a beaded liner. I currently have an overlap liner installed and what I believe is a bead retainer from before we moved into the house so this will be our first liner change. I am wondering if I can use the U/J...

At my wife's request I am debating switching the pool to SWG this year. I am a little confused as to getting the right SWG for the pool. Its above ground, about 12.5 Gallons . I have solar heat so I run the pump during daylight hours, about 9-10 hours a day. I don't run it at night to maintain...

I have a few panels on the roof, and a solar controller. My current pool temp is 16C (60F) and according to the solar controller the temp at the collectors is 28-31C (85F ish). When the solar kicks in the water from the return is still cold, I notice very little difference between the solar...

I have a Hayward AQ-SOL-LV solar controller and I am looking to power the pool pump (120v), so it only comes on when there is a call for heat from the solar. Right now I have the pump running and the solar just opens and closes throughout the day. I like that in the summer when its hot but...

I am looking at getting solar installed this spring and have a few quotes. The one I am debating is quoting enersol panels. Does anyone have experience with them? I am in Canada so they will have to go through the winter. I would be happy to hear what you think of them or if there is another...

I am unsure which way to go here. I have a 24' round and I am looking to get a roller. Should I get a smaller one, like 18' or so and place it off center or a 24' one and have it in the center. The reels I am looking at have pivots so I can swing it out of the way. Opinions? thanks

I took off the winter cover yesterday and remembered that some of my seat caps were in rough shape. Are these pool specific? and if so does anyone have any idea who made this pool. There is no label that I can see that shows who made it...

I closed our pool this weekend, and I wanted to say Thanks to everyone on these boards. Not only to say thanks to the folks who seem to almost every detail about all pools, equipment and chemical balance, but also to the folks who posted the questions looking for help. Although this is my first...
