I know that this is an older post but just wanted to give you a heads up for the future. The bearings in my motor just went out and everybody told me that I needed a new pump motor. After separating the motor from the pump, I was able to easily remove the end caps from the motor and gently...

Thank you very much. I left all of the outside lights off last night and I did seem to notice a decrease in the racket. I will continue to leave the lights off and see if that solves the problem.

Fiberglass repair worked BEAUTIFULLY!!!! If anyone wants to know details, please let me know.

I was not exactly sure where to post this so figured this was about a good a place as any. It seems as though every frog in the neighborhhod has decided to have a party around my pool every night. This is the first year that we have had this problem. Anybody know how I can get rid of them?

We do have some family that enjoy coming over, but they always bring food for everyone. One advantage that I found is...

I never knew such a forum existed, but am very glad to find it. I have been dealing with pools for years starting when I was managing the city pool where I lived back when I was in college. That particular pool was built in the 1920's and was originally fed by the spring that it was built on...
