Is anyone else tired of the Intermatic timer nonsense? Without fail the motor goes every other year, this year it didn’t work when i opened the pool and i just replaced the motor last season. There’s also the fact that when there’s a power outage the timer runs in reverse when the power goes...

After a long , frustrating few weeks trying to replace my pool's light bulb i got the correct size gasket and was finally ready to change the bulb, or so i thought. The bulb is too wide to fit in the housing. I got a color changing LED light and its too wide at top to fit in the housing. So i...

My light is no longer working. I'm thinking of replacing the bulb myself since it looks easy enough to do. i understand that i'll most likely have to replace the gasket as well once i open the casing. Is there a way to find out the correct size gasket without taking it out of the pool? I'm...

I Don't know what else to try ! 2 years ago the stronger of my 2 skimmers just suddenly stopped working. I had a company come out and use fancy devices with cameras etc and they found that the underground pipe was crushed by a tree root. So i"ve been left with the weaker skimmer (further from...

Is it possible for a sump pump to be too strong for my pool cover causing it to suck pool water through the cover and out? I use a tarp style cover for my inground pool and the pump i used last year died so i tried using a sump pump i already had that was 1/3 HP- 9.0 AMPS. After a while i...

I’m wondering if someone may have a suggestion for me. I have a decent amount of algae settled at the bottom of my pool but since I have poor suction from my skimmer I can’t use my robot vacuum to clean it. I’ve called 5 pool companies already but I can’t find anyone who’s willing to clean the...

I have an in ground pool with a tarp-like cover. Now that the snow has melted I’ve noticed a bunch of holes and tears in the cover. When i attempted to pump the water off of the cover i wound up pumping pool water out as well. The only idea i had so far was to switch from water bags to bungee...

Does anyone know of a decent, and reasonably priced company to repair damage to my pools tiles and the concrete around the skimmer? Every year i lose some tiles and small pieces of concrete but this i think the damages is too bad to open the pool. Thank you.

A quick question. I have an in ground concrete pool with a DE filter and i use an older model hayward robot cleaner. In order to get sufficient suction i have to cut off the bottom drain and 1 skimmer when i vacuum. My question is, do i need to turn off the filter before i cut the skimmer and...

I suspect that my bottom drain isn't working. I don't feel any suction when i put my hand over it. Can i use some type of dye or food coloring to test it ? Thank you.

Hi all. I have an Intermatic timer for my pool and it seems like every year there's a new issue. This year the clock doesn't seem to work properly and neither the ON or OFF trippers are turning the pool on or off. Surprisingly 2 different ON trippers have bent significantly. Any ideas? Thank you
