Thank you for the info, Joshil - What is what I suspected. My wife I picked the blue Trinidad /Jamaica Floor, which will look great in our pool. It comes in a 20 or a 27, and went ahead and went with the 27.

We are replacing our liner and decided we liked the Merlin Aqua Wave Tile / Caribbean Quartz Floor. It only comes in 20 mil. The pool company is dissuading us from a 20 mil liner and suggest a 27 mil. We went over to the pool store and brought the sample book back for the weekend. There are...

Ok, I received a good reference and am moving ahead. The liner replacement article was very helpful.

Good Afternoon - I am in the process of getting quotes for my pool liner. I read the article below and am following this as a guideline. My question for those who had their liner replaced, is did you ask references from the company that did yours and did you receive one...

It's hard to believe I have been a TFP member now, going on my 8th year. I have always been a DIY homeowner, but as a new pool owner, pool care was new to me. So, before I found TFP and learned to SLAM, yes, I to was "Pool Stored". Lol. The first year, I think I spent over $1000 easily on...

Hi @JamesW Thank you for the help. The readings are as follows and it appears the cell has stopped working. When the switch is in the OFF position Default salt display - 0 Pool temp - 84 Cell Voltage - 31.9 Cell current - 0 Desired output (% of the knob) - 67P Instant salinity - 0 Product...

Thank you all for the feedback and info. It has been a very wet Summer here and I think between the pump outs I have had to do, and extreme heat and evaporation, the level has gone down too much. Also, I should have kept a closer eye on the level each week - Between travel and on call for work...

Greeting everyone - I hope you all are doing well. We have had a lot of rain this Summer here in Virginia on the East Coast. My water had been super clear, and I have added a few bags a month. I was on call for work for 2 weeks and time got the best of me. I checked my salt level and it was...

I plan to take the old hose by Home Depot and West Marine. There is nothing special about it. It is 1" corrugated white house.

Hey Everybody: I have 2 Pooldevil Pro Leaf Skimmers that work well, but both need new corrugated hoses. Anyone know if replacement parts are available...

Arizonarob - Very nice! We live near the coast and outdoor showers are a favorite for getting sand off. Thx for sharing. Great idea - Fletcher

Jim - Thanks for the info on the unit. It makes sense on the batteries. Amazing little cleaner it is. Thx Again - Fletcher

The Dolphin T45 works well and does a fairly thorough job : https://maytronicsus.com/product/t45/ The unit works will out of the box. Just drop it in and turn it on. The App is nice and you can "Joystick" over and manually pick up debris. Sounds like a lot of great choices out there.

Jim - Thanks for the info. Here is a view of the results, courtesy of my son, who did a "Pool Cleaning Inspection" yesterday. It got his seal of approval. https://www.youtube.com/edit?o=U&video_id=Ui0qqgsIxJU Dolphin has quite a number of makes and models. Lol. Being tech savvy, I have...

Folks: Here is a quik report on a new pool cleaner. I will try and update the thread as the season goes on.... We purchased the Dolphin T45i last week and have been running it every other day. It works extremely well and I cannot believe I waited over a year to get one. Here is a link and...

Well, I decided against just replacing the motor because the pump had quite a bit of age on it. So, I purchased a Jacuzzi VSP150 from a local store: http://www.jacuzzipool.com/product/jacuzzi-j-vsp150-variable-speed-in-ground-pool-pump/ Picked it up Thursday and made a list of PVC items...

I agree with Ted527 - Replace the starter cap and give it another try. Starter caps are wearable items and often need replacing after a couple of years.

PS - I called the local pool store to price a replacement motor. They must double everything they touch and charge 2X the already inflated retail price. ... Then they said: "... Plus,. $99.00 to do the motor replacement. Oh, if there is nothing else wrong. And of course if the have to come out...

Many thanks for TFT and the folks here. I've been a member for about a year now and have read many great how-to's and articles. It has been so much easier this season maintaining the pool and I think I've spent about 1/2 as much in chemicals b/c of this. Thanks again! Frodo9

Answers: * Sounds like the bearings are going out. * Pentair makes the pump. It is a CFII-N1-1A Series and you can get the seal kit online. If the pump is holding a prime and has good output pressure then rebuild it with a seal kit and save you money for something else. * US Motors or...
