About a week ago I noticed that my spa circulation pump wasn't working. I also noticed that the timer clock wasn't working. When I tried to start manaually by throwing the overide switch on the timer nothing happened. No humm, no noise or anything. Just won't start when I flip the switch...

I was getting advice on a heavy equipment forum about excavators and it turned into a full blown thread about my process for removing my in ground vinyl liner pool. I could not find a lot of information on the process for removing this type of pool and had to do a lot of research and whatnot so...

This is kind-of the opposite of this thread but I thought a lot of the same experience in building a pool would be involved in taking one out. I've had this pool (came with the house) for 15 years now. It takes up the whole back yard and we don't use it much and the liner needs to be replaced...

This is the circulation pump for my hot tub. It's a Hayward Super Pump 2. The motor is at least 14 years old and just started making this noise a few weeks ago when it got cold (for us) here in Dallas. I made a Youtube video of the pump running. I think it may be bad bearings...

I actually have two problems First my main pool pump, Pentair SuperFlo 1.5HP (model number: 300097) @240 volts is acting funny. It starts and runs the filter (recently backwashed) up to 5 lbs of pressure and then shuts down. Some experimenting with a volt meter shows one side of the 220 at 110...

Pump model: Pentair 1.5HP Superflo Model Number (on volute sticker): 340039 I came home a couple days ago and the pool looked a little low so I went to check the pump when I turned it on it just hummed and would not pump water. I'm pretty sure that the inlets go clogged with leaves and the...

Hello, I currently have a 35 year old inground vynil liner pool here in the Dallas area. The liner is 4 years old not looking so good and has sprung a couple leaks. I was thinking of remodeling the pool either this fall or next spring and was wondering what ballpark cost would be. I am hoping...

Hello all, I just finished adding 600lbs of salt to my pool in preparation for hooking up my SWG. I calculated I would need around 720lbs to get my pool up to the 3500ppm salt level needed for the SWG. I used an accutest strip to test the salt level after the salt had disolved into the water...

Hello All. I just received a Compupool SWG and I'm getting ready to salt the pool before installing the system. I have a 25k gallon in ground vinyl liner pool with around 4 years on the liner. I was wondering if dumping all this salt (around 700lbs) into the pool will damage the liner. I was...

Hello, I'm rather new to the forum. My boss got me on the forum while he was researching pool tech for a new home purchase. So far I've used the forum to get a good test kit, kill some (I'm pretty sure) Mustrad Algae, and free myself from overpriced chemicals from Leslie's. I think I have a...
