I have a new 1.0 HP Tidalwave pump and it really gets the water moving and is much quieter than the previous unit we had. When running the manual vacuum system, how much suction should I be seeing from the unit? are we talking like a house vacuum level of suction here or what?

So at a local get together a pool company had some above ground pools setup as well as hot tubs. My pool brand was featured there so I figured I'd ask some questions to see what parts they have. They funny part that came up was when the discussion turned to pool chemistry that the sales rep...

hey everyone, I am looking for some general information and I figured I could ask it all in one place, so here we go! - If you have a leaking pump basket, is it better to just replace the basket or go with a new pump setup assuming the pump is pretty old? - I have a splashpak Filter and Pump...

The weather is finally starting to change and be more considering up here in North Dakota, so it looks like its getting close to time to start the process with getting the pool up and running and I am considering a new pump setup: Some background: The house we purchased came with a pool that...

Looking to start the process of closing the pool this year as water temps are at 55 degrees, so I figure its going to be soon here. Anyway, the cover I got last year was too small as I was looking at the wrong guide and its one that sits on top the water and lets water through. In theory it...

The filter system I have looks like it has a bad gauge. No prob, I went ahead and ordered a new glycerin filled gauge however, its a bit wider in diameter than the stock gauge its replacing and hence does not fit the filter housing as far as this "lip" around the gauge goes. I wanted to know...

I have an Above Ground Pool, Splashpools Omega 20ft 9000 gallon pool. The ladder it came with for some reason I can't keep it down in the water. Its this model I think: Pool Ladders A-Frame 7100X series To confirm, am I supposed to fill all of the holes with water, both the pool side and...

The house we purchased came with a pool that had this pump setup: From what I can tell its a SplashPak EF 75 unit for the filter. Looking more at the actual pump assembly, in particular the motor: It appears to be a 1.0 HP unit. My problem is this. I have a Splash pools Omega 20Ft...

Alright I purchased some new wall fittings based on the old ones being damaged. I went to install them, but as I was turning the lower fitting above the intake, this one: Standard Wall Fitting I noticed that it seemed to keep turning on the inner side of the pool. When I went to install...

We got a pool last year with the house, a splash omega 20ft pool. From what I can tell the pool doesn't have a skimmer on it, and the previous owner mentioned he would basically run a manual vacuum with his foot as he was in the pool. I want to get a bit less involved than that with cleaning...

I know this is a strange question, but I was wondering if you put winterization plugs on all openings on your above ground pool, do you then only need to drop the water level to say 6 - 8 inches below the deck? I am wondering this because a cover I bought that sits on the pool water mentioned...

I have a Splash brand Omega 20 round pool that came with the house we purchased. as I live in North Dakota I went head this weekend and winterized and closed the pool. While removing the various lines running to the pool, the lower "ball valve" as I believe it is called appears to have a...

I am looking to purchase a pool cleaner next year when I open up. Right now I am trying to stay under $200 for the unit. I want something that can have its own pump setup (don't run it to the pool pump) or if not, one that is good. Thoughts?

Alright, I have been working my pool issues and am getting pretty good at this lol but I have one area that seems to just frustrate me right now because I think I am approaching it wrong. Basically, in the pool I get these areas that settled at the bottom that looks kind of like algae, but my...

I have probably a simple question but I just want to confirm. When filling the CYA testing tube, when do you truly stop. I know that sounds odd, but is it when: - dot is fully gone while pouring - dot fully gone after a swirl on the water - dot starts to dissappear Also, I am assuming when...

I have the following filtration (cartridge) and pump setup: I am wondering if I am hooking up my vacuum unit wrong as I notice the return line water flow just goes to like a crawl at times and I end up fighting to get it working right again. I am totally new to this, so not sure what to expect.
