I called the pool company that closed and they assured me it is pool anti freeze.

So I always have my pool professionally closed because I’m worried about freezing lines. I open it on my own with help from reading this forum. But this year I messed up. I didn’t turn the pump to waste when I turned it on. I let it go straight into the pool. Because of this I now have anti...

I thought I replied already. So this may be a duplicate. Yes. That is the only stain and it is by a return jet. I will try the vitamin c tab this evening. I’ll have to run to Walmart to get one.

My teenage daughter says it was there last year. I don’t remember seeing it before.

Thanks. I’ll try the vitamin c tab this evening after a quick run to Walmart. Yes. It is pretty close to a return. If something slipped in, I didn’t see it when opening the pool. It had almost no debris from last winter. That is the only stain. It has a noticeable bump under it when you run your...

When I opened our inground pool I noticed a black spot. It kind of looks like a burn. I figured it was some kind of stain and thought no more of it. Today I took some time to really investigate trying to clean it. I’m not sure what it is. There is a bulge under it. Almost like a screw or...

No o ring.

Is it possible that the black part was one piece and now is broken? We have removed the union l, lubed and tightened. It just keeps blowing the top part upward and water spews out.

Thank you! Hoping this is a job my husband can do.

Came home yesterday afternoon and noticed my pump was making a weird noise. Went out to check on it and the pipe that connects the pump to the filter was spewing out water. Nothing appears to be broken. But the pipe is loose and wiggling. It’s where the black goes down into the black. Can this...

Thank you. I wonder why the pool place that installed the shut off last summer didn’t tell me I would need two. Once liquid chlorine is easier to get, I won’t have to open it as much.

I have an inline chlorinator. It has a shut off valve. I only add tabs about once every 2-3 weeks. But when I do add tabs, my pump loses prime. You can hear the water chugging out as soon as I open the chlorinator lid. I had them put a shut off on it last summer and it seems worse than before...

Thank you.

I think I messed up. To be prepared for those sporadic warm days, I went ahead and opened my pool. It's nearly 90 today. So, good move. But...during the next 10 days, it will dip down into the 30's for 4 different nights. One night as low as 33. So, what about my pump? Should I try to drain...

Thank you. I wasn’t really sure and we’ve had a lot of issues since purchasing this house. I was hoping for an easy one this time.

It is definitely not full.

I’m an optimist or I would say half empty. I’m hoping it’s no big deal. I had my pump replaced and there was air in my Hayward sand filter. I backwashes to clear system of air. After running on filter, the site glass drained half way out again. No visible leaks anywhere. No air in return...

I'll call tomorrow and see what they have available. Thanks for the advice.

The psi was always about 20. However, I increased the size of the first return eye and it is now 15. No other problems. I have a very large filter and I know it is capable of handling the pump. Not a VS. I'm pretty sure it a flopro. I was just reading online and panicked when I saw that 2...

Wow! There is a lot to learn. So I am replacing my noisy, nearly dead Hayward superpump 1.5 hp. I have been researching because the pool place I use carries Jandy. The more I have been reading, the more concerned I get. I read that 1.5 inch plumbing should go with a smaller hp pump to avoid...

I backwashed last night and air released before the water came out. I also removed the eye fitting on the first return. My pressure is down to 15 now. The pump is still very noisy. But I am not as nervous as I was. Right now I have no shut offs. So new plumbing will be worth it to get some...

If pool place will do it within a week, I will use them. My brother has had 3 heart attacks and I feel guilty asking him to do any work. But his advice is wonderful.

I am not sure who I would pay to have install it. My brother has offered to install a new pump for me. He has worked on several above ground pool systems for his friends as well as his own. If I can get the pool place to do it and repair my equipment pad at the same time that would be ideal...

My pressure has always been around 20 psi. This is second summer to live here. The pump I have is nearly dead so I am ordering a new one tomorrow. The pool guy is planning to re-do my equipment pad because my plumbing is kind of crazy. He says I have way too many angles to the return when it...
