I've been having issues with my cleaner not finishing the cleaning cycle and it's now progressed to where it won't get past the self-test. I took it apart, cleaned the impeller (not much there) but still the same issue. I tried reengaging the motor (removing it and placing it back in) - still...

For the past three seasons, my father has been having an issue with dirt (or something else) frequently gathering in the bottom of his pool. I went over to his house yesterday and he said this appeared despite running the vacuum (robot) this morning. He uses test strips, so I brought my kit and...

Algae was prevalent at opening this year (not sure what happened at closing). SLAM process got water to blue but cloudy. One issue I’m having this year that I haven’t had in the past is that my filter is getting clogged fairly soon after backwash (within 2-3 hours). PSI goes up and return...

I am looking to replace my Pentair Challeger pump and 1.5 HP AO Smith motor (B2858). My inground pool is approx. 25,000 gallons and my filter is a FNS Plus 48 sq ft DE filter. I'm not sure if I want a single speed or two speed. I guess I don't have the need for a variable speed. I'd like...

New pool owner here. We moved in just as the pool was closed last year and when the pool company came to open this year, it was pretty green. Found this site afterwards, unfortunately. I wasn't home at the time of opening but they left a note. They only had the main drain running. I was told...
