    Can I buy JUST the sand filter tank, no valve, pipe, etc ??

    Is my skimmer suction line collapsed?

    I screwed the bolt back into the shaft (left hand thread, yes) ... no loctite ... had already put it back together before I read this. I cranked my pump back up and everything is running smoothly now. I'll be closing the pool within the next week, should I remove that bolt and add loctite...

    Is my skimmer suction line collapsed?

    Hey folks, we have a 26k gallon fiberglass in-ground pool. We got hammered with 10+ inches of Hurricane Florence rain and I noticed last night that my skimmer line is suddenly not pulling any water in. I back washed and then the pump would not prime and that's when I noticed the skimmer line...

    Hey y'all ... I accidentally broke the floating weir cover thing on my spa filter. Does anyone know if it matters whether I replace it with another floating weir or can I put a fixed cover on it?

    Need help retrofitting topside panel

    Thanks JV. My opening is a perfectly straight edged rectangle, so shaping/fitting it shouldn't be too complicated. (famous last words) I'll stop by Home Depot and see what they have.

    Hey folks. I've just finished replacing my spa pack and pump and my new topside panel is slightly too small for the existing hole. Does anyone have any experience with retro fitting one of these?

    Anyone have a CalSpa "dually" pump for sale ? Or advice ...

    So I have a CalSpa 2100 from the early 90's .. tub is in great shape but the pump just went bad. It's the old heavy duty dual wet end pump that is super hard to replace and pretty expensive. I know I can retrofit the plumbing and go back with a conventional 56 frame pump but I'd rather NOT do...

    New pool owner, can I do this?

    Yes, when I came home I had to wait 2-3 minutes for it to prime again. It's still sitting on 10% ... our water was not terribly dirty, had a mesh cover on it all winter.

    New pool owner, can I do this?

    Pump has been shut off since I left for work this morning. Came home, installed new gauge and turned the pump back on, it primed in 2 1/2 minutes. BUT the gauge still is not moving but I know there is water up there - I can hear it and it sprayed out of my air release valve. I bought a liquid...

    New pool owner, can I do this?

    What I found at Walmart is "Pool Essentials" brand "chlorinating liquid" ... 1 gallon ... Sodium Hypochlorite 10% - other ingredients 90% ..... so should I use 1/2 gallon of that stuff each day until I can test my water?

    New pool owner, can I do this?

    Wait a minute! I thought the words pool ownership and 'easy' were never supposed to be together??? I'm wondering if I should just wait until I get home from my trip to start cleaning the water up. What are the odds I could have it ready in 4 days from that point? Is that a pipe dream? Assuming...
