Thank you so much Herman. I will give him a call. Happy 2024 to All.

Wishing you all a Happy Holiday Season :) I would appreciate any pointers/referrals to a good pool equipment repair person/company in the Sugar Land (TX) area. Appreciatively Yours

Jared, I was referring to the Pool Blaster. The lithium batteries make it work better.

I have a lot of trees so I get a lot of leaves and seeds in the pool this time of year. I had seen, but dismissed the battery operated leaf vac on Amazon. Recently, I gave it a try, and was pleasantly surprised by its effectiveness and practicality. To be clear, I have no relationship with the...

Oh wow. It says clearly on this page that Teflon based stuff that I was using gets sticky .. no wonder. I will switch to Magic Lube II effective immediately. Thank you so very much.

Thank you James. I added the Aladdin Magic Lube. While on this topic, is this still the best lubricant, or are there better options these days? Thanks and Happy New Year.

Thank you Allen. That is just the magic touch that was needed. Happy New Year.

The lid of the strainer basket on my Hayward Tristar single-speed 2hp pump is very tight. Any advice on how to open it safely and without superhuman strength? Also, any advice on how to prevent this from happening again? Many Thanks!

Have you cleaned the filter? Eliminating any organic matter in the system should help.

Thank you. What is the purpose of the red ribbon? Best Wishes

Hello Neighbor, I am intrigued by your device. Are you able to post a picture of it? Best Wishes

It is in the 10 ounce range, so the potential for collecting at the bottom and damaging the pool is not high. I must admit that I am more driven by the nastiness of the MA fumes to seek better solutions. Thanks

Thank you Maddie. I figured out a solution - not the most elegant, but minimally sufficient. I took a lid from an older jug, and drilled a hole in it. When I need to pour MA I temporarily replace the lid with this perforated lid. Happy Summer

G'day. I may be asking a question that may have been answered before, but I just couldn't find it with my limited searching skills. I buy muriatic acid from Home Depot, and this stuff comes in one-gallon jugs. I am looking for a replacement to the lid of these jugs that can help me add the acid...

Gentlemen, When I opened up the "capacitor hump" on the motor, I found a white plastic sheet-like part, and some foam, in addition to the capacitor itself. I am curious about the purpose of these items, and the correct way to place them. Thanks again for all your patience and generous help.

Thank you so very much johnw. I will order the 30uF 440 volt capacitor. Best Wishes.

Thank you Allen. By proper, did you mean 35UF or 30UF? Much appreciated.

Thank you so very much Gentlemen. Here is a picture of the motor plate. I did not see any mention of the capacitor on it. I wish manufacturers were clear about stating routine maintenance items like capacitors.

Hello Friends, I am looking for guidance about the correct capacitor for a Hayward SP3215X20 TriStar Single-speed Max Rated 2 HP Pool Pump. When I opened up the "bump" on top of the motor, I found a 30uF 440VAC capacitor (made by Genteq). However, the Hayward website (Capacitor, 35Uf, 440V |...

Thank you so very much. This brand seems much cheaper than the Hayward.

Thanks for the reply. I have a Hayward Goldline controller with a remote, so I guess there is some automation in there.

Good day! I would appreciate any pointers to a good contractor who can convert my pool to saltwater system in the greater Houston area. Many Thanks.

Is this part just hand tightened or is there a tool for it? thanks again.

Hi All, The air relief valve on my Hayward SwimClear Cartridge filter is leaking water. It is the small part on the top. I purchased a replacement on Amazon. I am having difficulty removing the old one since it is very tight. Any suggestions on what tool to use or what procedure to follow in...

The pool temperature finally crossed 75 degree F yesterday. It is colder than ideal, but the swim season has begun :)
