    Replacing Hayward pump

    I want to replace this old Hayward pump (used for a waterfall) with a new one I recently bought. However, the ports on the old pump have male thread/connections while the new pump is fitted with female threading. See pics. For discharge, it appears that cutting the pipe and installing a union...

    Hayward H400 replacement part inquiry

    We have an inground pool with an old Hayward H400 propane heater. Once it's warmed up, it works fine but has a tendency to click off a few seconds after it lights up. It does that a few times until I get an "IF" Ignition Failure error. When the pool was opened last year and I explained the issue...

    Replacement custom cover options

    Thanks for the background - much appreciated. No idea what caused the tears as I inherited the cover with the pool when we closed in May 2019. I think the best course of action is to (a) hope the cover makes it through the season, which it should, (b) after opening next year, see how good of a...

    Hello all, Family and I purchased a home in Westchester County in NY. Attached is a pic of the Meyco mesh cover which is very much nearing the end of its lifespan. General size is about 27" wide at its widest and about 46" long. Meyco dealer quoted a replacement price of $5,900. This seems...

    New house - how to maintain pool

    In the middle photo, there is a piece of equipment to the right of the heater and filter with what looks like a black cable that comes out of one side and another coming out of the other side. Any idea what that is?

    New house - how to maintain pool

    My understanding is that gunnite pools are not to be drained as the walls could collapse.

    New house - how to maintain pool

    All, Thank you in advance to anyone who can help me here. Just bought a house in Westchester that has a gunite pool treated with bromine. Attached are pics of the set up. I can probably figure out the valves in the pvc pipes, but any idea how bromine is broadcast into the pool. Also, any idea...

    Brownish film covering liner and floating throughout pool

    Very helpful, thank you. It's going to take several readings of the process and printing out what I need to do and loading up on Clorox and grabbing a recommended test kit, but I appreciate you pointing me in the right direction. Would likely not have gotten this level of direction from the guy...

    Brownish film covering liner and floating throughout pool

    Had a new inground chlorine vinyl pool installed spring 2017. 16,500 gallons, DE filter. Around midsummer, started noticing some brownish/whitish slimy film floating here and there in the pool, also stuck along the skimmers. Am still convinced it was from new home construction next door when...
