    Caretaker 99 Head Refurbish?

    Yes, they wear out. Typically the tang corners get bent and jammed. If you are the original owner, then the hardware has a lifetime warranty (Gear set 800-822-7933, Pop ups 855-280-6465). Every time I call them I get different shipping costs, how many per month, how long it takes to ship...

    Pentair TR60 Buttress blows off.

    If I posted that 5 years ago then it must be at least 10 years old. I can find no trace of when I bought it but it was still in the box. The old dome looks like the Detail A. I installed it as it was just a swap with the old TR60. Perfect line up. I appreciate your input and research. I...

    Pentair TR60 Buttress blows off.

    All lines have been blown with the output lines taken off. I don't see an inbound obstruction would cause but will look. Bought the tank in Phoenix 5 ish years ago still in the box, but who knows

    Pentair TR60 Buttress blows off.

    Pentair TR60 Buttress blows off.

    Yes, the dome. And yes that is my fear. I see no thread damage but that really means nothing. And the tank is 5ish years old.

    Pentair TR60 Buttress blows off.

    I am confused. I came home and found my TR60 sand filter was leaking (with the pop ups cleaning) underneath the sand filter buttress. I tightened the top cap and it blew off. I changed the O ring - still leaked, tighten it and it blew off. TR60 has a new buttress design; I ordered it. I...

    Barrier between yard and pool?

    Look at metal lawn edging. It worked for me to redirect some of the rain water away from the walkway around the pool. Was able to pound them down so it was only 1ish inch high so no one wasn't tripping on them.

    Thought it was a rat but now I think it is a squirrel. This is going to take a while to clean up. Not much wiring damage tho. Arrrg...

    AZ Green Pool

    High winds filled the pool with sticks and leaves. Can't see the bottom. Added shock and started it. The pump pressure started complaining. I dug around in the dark and pulled up a large amount of debris. Started again but same results as it filled the pump basket. Clean again but this time...

    Can't read Pool School articles on Windows PC

    Tried it on mine. FireFox with no blockers. I cannot open the articles either. Windows updated my PC a few days ago as well as did FireFox. I tried Edge but got the same results.

    How do we fix the water leveler?

    Do you drink wine? I measure my pool level from the top of the pool deck to where I want the water line to be, then use the that length in the fill box level to be. I put a wine cork in the pool to block the water line and vacuum out the water in the water level housing. Adjust the pool level...

    Sand and Dirt At Bottom of Pool

    "To make matters worse, when it rains, the dirt just flows from the roof into the pool." In so far as I say, the roof drainage must be redirected. I get monsoons and I do not allow the roof drain into my pool, to many additional issues if it does.

    Time for A New Filter?

    My Triton II sand filter started to "bleed" water from the tank after 18ish years but I live in the desert. Are the slide valve O rings need to be replaced? I can't answer some off the input questions but thought I would bump it.

    Sta-Rite Filter / Bleeder leaking

    I got tired of dinking with mine over time. Off to Home Depot with the parts and built this from brass pipe fittings.
