I'm looking for informed suggestions for a new pump, calculators show huge savings for variable speed pumps. I have a 16 year old Sta-Rite, 2hp single speed Dyna Wave pump with 2" inlets. Pump is level with top of pool and runs are 50' to 60'. Main drain, 2 skimmers, and 3 returns. 16'x32'...

I've had a significant leak, about 1/2 an inch of water a day in my 16' x 32' pool. I built a pressure tester and found the center, 1 of 3, return line leaking. It's a major leak as the hose shows no pressure when my hose is full open at about 1.6 gal per minute. Years ago I moved the pump...

Just had my liner replaced and the builder recommended not using a salt system as the walls are steel and he has had to repair too many walls due to corrosion. It makes sense to me, though I have loved the low maintenance. Anyone had a problem with corrosion?

My unit fired up and was working fine until.... I went out today and the display was blank. I shut off the cb and opended it up to find mice had built a nest in the wiring box and chewed all the wires shorting out the circuit. I tried just cutting and splicing the wire, but it's still dead...

I just found water in my SAm light. My pool store says replace it, he's nerver been able to fix one. I noted that the instruction manual states that the 120 v models have an integral 12v trans former. I'm guessing the transformer fails and that's why replacing the motor does not fix the...

I just purchased an intermatic T104P201 with fireman switch so I could cut down on running my equipement. I have a 240V setup for the pump and heater. The fireman swith has one pair of black leads, so it can only interupt 1 of the two lines of power to the heater. Is this how it is supost to...

My pool has become a nightmare! Cloudy water all summer long, can seem to clear it. I think my local pool store just wants to sell me more chemicals! I just installed a Hayward Aqua-Rite chlorine generator in hopes of getting it back on track, but I’ve got a ways to go, it’s still cloudy and...
