    Advice on securing loose coping pavers around fiberglass pool

    Bought a house with a fiberglass pool 4 years ago. Haven't had too many issues, but the coping and concrete work were done very poorly. I have a number of the coping pavers totally lose. There isn't any waterproof grout used anywhere. It appears to have been put on with some flexible...

    Aqua Logic Salt Too High - Cholrinator Off High Salt/Amps

    I'm getting the dreaded Chlorinator Off High/Salt Amps on my Aqua Logic control. Just replaced my T-Cell-15 and it before it shuts out I'm getting -40V and 10.08A. Thanks to TPF, I found this threads pointing out the issues with the K1 solder joint. A friend of mine that does electronic...

    Cavitation in new Hayward Super Pump - causes (including the steps I've done so far)?

    I tried to sound intelligent and used the wrong term. I was originally going to say turbulence. I'd say it's more frothing than a vortex. Pool water level is not low. Just ran it again. It sounds like a lot of air in the filter housing. Not seeing any leaks in the filter though. Would a...

    Cavitation in new Hayward Super Pump - causes (including the steps I've done so far)?

    Thanks to this forum for everything I've tried so far. I didn't want to repost questions that have already been asked, but I figured there was enough unique here that it warranted asking. The bearings went on my old pump so I replaced it thinking that would solve the problem. It turns out the...

    Crack and leak in Hayward HP21404T - suggestions

    I have a leak in my new Hayward HP21404T Heat pump that was installed last spring. I don't think the guy I had winterize my pool properly drained the heat pump. So now it is leaking and the crack is quite visible. I am hoping there aren't more cracks throughout, but I figure that is a part I...

    Cleaning Waterline of Scum

    I'll take a picture this evening. Very slight calcium line I believe.

    Prevening single skimmer from being stuck

    Looks like a good idea. I'll have to look into it if my skimmer could use it. Guess it would mean removing the door and I don't want do to that if it will damage the door. My pump in single speed with a thermal sensor. If this one goes (I already replaced the motor once), I'd get a pump with...

    Prevening single skimmer from being stuck

    I have a fiberglass pool with 2 returns, 2 deck jets, a single skimmer and no main drain. Most of the time this is sufficient, but this past weekend I had people and a toy caused the skimmer door to get stuck shut which resulted in the pump running mostly dry for a very short period of time...

    Cleaning Waterline of Scum

    I know this is an older post. I have a fiberglass pool without tile and I get a scum ring by the waterline. I like the magic eraser, but I will pick up some actual pool & tile cleaner. I use the heavier duty magic eraser. They also make a bath one now that is supposed to be better for...

    I like the look of tile, but I don't love it 3K. I am pretty sure my pool is level, but now you got me wanting to look. Trying to think how i'd measure it though. Can't really put a level on the water. The bad thing is my deck adjacent to the pool isn't level, sagging under the weight of a...

    Robot Recommendations?

    Looks like I'm in for another $50 too. The extra filter which i was considering is $40 anyway. So not a bad deal. Megarms, cool about the waterline tile on your pool. Guessing you got it installed when the pool was installed. I haven't heard such great things about putting them on an...

    Robot Recommendations?

    Another MD fiberglass pool owner here. Do you have any pictures of your build? I plan to post some of mine soon. I have a 14K gallon BR Pacific pool. I wanted a robot that cleans the waterline since the fiberglass pool has no tile. The waterline tends to shows dirt which is more noticeable...

    I asked about the Dohney Discovery. This is the response I received. Dear Valued Customer, the item you are inquiring about does have a 60' swivel cord to prevent tangling. Thank you,

    Active 30 Filter Basket

    I know this is an older post, but Maytronics description is confusing. It specifically says . Then in the highlights it does not show the multi-layer filtration like it does on the page for the active30i. The answer is that it does not have the multi-layer filtration, still I had to find this...

    brunnesa, I am going to call around for the active20, but let me know if you have a place you got it from with a good price. I see there is a $50 rebate for it, which I believe was mentioned in this thread or another. I called a local dealer and it sounded like they wanted $799 (robot only, no...

    Robot Recommendations?

    According to Maytronics site, the 2018 active20 does appear to come with the swivel. Still waiting to hear about the Discovery, but I'm not assuming that just because the active20 does, that the Discovery will as well. While a swivel could be a point of failure, does it help much with...

    bmoreswim, are you saying the current Doheny Discovery has the swivel? I don't see that mentioned on the website, but it would be great if it does and make my decision an easy one. I was going to post on their Q&A and see what they say.

    2018: Fiberglass install uxbridge ointario

    I have a BR Pacific pool with only the skimmer as the return. While I think a main drain would have been nice, it seems like they aren't installed in fiberglass pools that often as they aren't necessary to provide proper water flow. The problem is people jumping in the pool can really deny...
