Greetings, Since I am replacing my equipment and above ground plumbing, I have to opportunity to change somethings about the layout. It is conceptually easier for me to reconstruct the current approach, but if I can improve it, I'd rather. Of the options suggested so far, two appear to have...

Hi Folks, We are almost ready to begin the resurfacing of our 20+yr old pool; Still draining water... Once the resurface is completed, I imagine that some special care is required while the coating cures. I've read here that the pool should not be used for ~ 3 weeks, and that the pool should be...

So I guess I'm looking for a little reassurance ... I've got a Pentair Quad 60 DE filter, An Intelliflo VS3050, several 3-way valves, and a bunch of PVC bits on the way. I've done a good bit of irrigation repair, and am comfortable around electrical repairs, but I am beginning to get a little...

Anybody have any? I am considering this filter to provide the filtering capability of DE, and the cleaning convenience of cartridges.

Is it possible to have too big a filter for a pool? I've been looking at the Pentair DE QUAD 60. While discussing options with a pool equipment vendor, it was suggested that I might have issues maintaining adequate pressure using such a large filter on a relatively small pool (~ 15k). Granted...

Greetings, I expect to be doing a bit of plumbing for my filter/pump swap. However, I'd prefer to preserve as much of the original plumbing as is prudent. I have several Jandy 3way diverter values w/grease fittings in the mix; does it make sense to try and rebuild/refurbish these or simply...

Greetings, I am in the unhappy position of having to address our south Florida pool. we have a rather small (~15k gal circa 1980) pool with a 1HP jacuzzi pump driving a Hayward DE2400 filter. Until the recent equipment failure, it worked reasonably well, though there are a good number of leaks...
