I CURRENTLY HAVE A 1hp hayward tristar pump. i want to replace it and I am thinking of going up to a 1.5hp. I seem to have good flow with the 1hp but only when I keep the filter pretty clean. i never let it get to bad but unless the pressure is 15psi or lower the flow rate suffers a little. it...

I don't want my water fall on all the time. I also don't want to walk over to my pump station to turn on the water fall. its a short walk but I'd rather be able to turn in on from inside the house some times. so is there a reliable valve on a solenoid with a remote control?

I am going to add some stone to a small section of my pool. I was wondering if I should put on a cement based water proof sealer over the bare concrete before I bond the stone?

I have been super busy. I installed my new skimmer which fixed my leak. I want to do a water fall. I want to put some stones on the pool wall so the water fall rock looks like its coming out of the pool instead of just being on top the deck. Right now my plans are to drain the pool down...

I finally got my skimmer delivered. here is a picture of the old one. And wouldn't you know the plumbing is the wrong size. I have 2" pipes and after I took it out completely I found for some reason they down sized at the skimmer to 1-1/2" . So i'm either going to have to reduce like the...

I'm well on m way to replacing the skimmer. I'm going to take pictures and try to post info that will be helpful to others in the future. I can not find a name or model number on my skimmer. I've removed the concrete around it and dug down around it and just have to un hook it. are there...

I don't have one at the main steps. there is one next to a little swim up platform (not sure what its called) by the deep end. I was told its not necessary or needed by code because of the little platform I have. I want to cut it out. Do any of you have safety rails? Is it code to have one

I have a sample of travertine remodeling coping. its nice but it goes close to an inch over the bond beam of my pool (I think bond beam is the word). We like the way the coping hangs over. it looks good and adds some depth but I am worried about it cracking apart in the future because the deck...

I have only posted 2 and the third one I tried to upload stopped half way through. I'm guessing i'm over some file limit but I don't know what to do about it

I'm going to start with the skimmer. I want to put in a new one. Mine is north of 25 years. I would like recommendations and also knowledge on which would fit. do I basically just take some measurements and get something to the closest size? Also a paver or travertine deck is being done...

Is it difficult to replace a skimmer? Mine is over 20 years old. its the type with the floating cylinder inside a basket that moves up and down with the water. It doesn't seem to be cracked. it does seem to leak. like the bond between it and the surrounding cement is bad. I've posted a...

I have a situation that I was told is called a bond leak. from the way it was explained, my pool was poured and then my deck was poured on top of the pool wall making the deck the top 4 or 5 inches of the pool. supposedly over time the bond between the two pours has broken causing a water line...

Hi. I just registered. We have had a pool for 10 years. it came with the house. we are nor planning on renovating on a budget of course. I have a pool leak and I didn't see a section for the topic. Of course I could have just missed it. I am going to go back and look again. once I get my...
