    Tear in new liner!

    I got matching liner pieces from the liner manufacturer and layered patches on the area and they are holding great. Now I see that I need a new butterfly gasket for the skimmer flaceplate. Existing one is cracked and brittle. One step at a time.

    Going to try to patch it. I’ve got nothing to lose except time enjoying my pool.

    Tear in new liner!

    You are correct. There is only about 24" of water in the pool. I'm so disappointed that I didn't get the best information before I cut the holes. Planning to patch it today after I empty some water. Thanks for your response.

    Tear in new liner!

    Just replaced my agp liner and made cuts for skimmer and return. Everything went smoothly. Then overnight tears occurred in both spots, skimmer and return. UGH!! How do I repair? Am I facing a total loss of the liner and buying another? I called every pool service company I could find...

    Same green start to season

    Is CYA reading accurate during SLAM? Last time FC was at 10, I tested pH and lowered to 7.2, CYA was at 50. I’ve been SLAMming for 7 days since then along with vacuuming, brushing and rinsing cartridge. Typically adding 32-64 oz to bring FC back to 20. There is improvement each day but a...

    Definitely seeing slow progress. pH is up again today. I will keep brushing, flushing and testing until it’s clear!

    Same green start to season

    Just realized I am using new R0870 but last year’s R0871. Used the new r0871 this morning. Was I getting inaccurate FC reading with old R0871?

    Same green start to season

    FC dropped to 7.5 overnight. I will lower pH and continue manual cleaning, brushing then Slam again at lower pH.

    Same green start to season

    FC has been holding pretty well. Last night at dusk is was at 20. 7:30 am it was at 16. Throughout the day today it only dropped to 18. It is a bit clearer now as I can sew the brush a bit farther into the water. Here’s hoping for tomorrow.

    Same green start to season

    I’ve vaccuumed twice today and will do a third time. I also am using the leaf skimmer to lift out anything I can. No I did not test the pH before SLAM 🙁

    Same green start to season

    Hi all! Uncovered my pool I. May and it was almost clear but lots of leaves at the bottom. Winter cover had a rip in it. Filled to skimmer level and began to filter. Life got in the way and a week without attending to pool equals a greenish brown mess. There are so many little seeds, tree...

    Walmart bleach has changed

    Yesterday the pool section was pretty well depleted. No pool essentials to be found. I’ll keep looking.

    Walmart bleach has changed

    We have used Walmart’s Great Value brand bleach for the last three years with success. This year there was none to be found until May 1 and then the bottles are a smaller size and supposedly more concentrated. Change from 121 oz to 81 oz at 7.5%. Trying to slam pool and 2 hours after adding...

    Replace toggle switch on hayward pump

    Well what I read was accurate. The old switch component easily popped out and the new one inserted without challenge. I reset the power, reset the GFI and it works perfectly. Hoping the water clears quickly now. ?

    Replace toggle switch on hayward pump

    The toggle switch to my Power-Flo LX Hayward Pump for my above ground pool has stopped working. I've located and ordered a replacement which is described as easy to replace. Is it really as simple as removing the outer case and using a screwdriver to press in the side arms to pop the old one...

    First it was the pump basket cover stuck and now it’s the ring the closes the canister over the cartridge. To unscrew (open) it usually takes about 2 1/2 rotations. It is stuck at about 1 rotation. Help! I need to flush the cartridge!e

    Trouble opening cap over basket on pump

    Hi, prior to starting our Hayward pump I removed, cleaned and lubed the o ring of the basket on the pump. The filter has been running 2 days and I can’t remove the clear cover over the basket. It won’t budge! Ideas? Leaves collecting in this basket are reducing water pressure.

    AGP winter cover - better way to secure

    We have a 27’ AGP and this is the second winter season. Last year we used a big square air cushion suspended in the center along with a winter cover secured by cable and tightened with a winch. Seemed fine for several months. Then we noticed that the cover was slipping along the cable in a...
