    Pool not filling up (New liner, water running, vacuum for liner running)

    Humm.. the multi port was set to waste, maybe this was causing a leak? The liner seems quite fine from the naked eye. I’m still a bit new, but if the main drain is in the deep end with all the current water, how exactly do you plug it? I really hope, the multi port is what the issue was.

    Looking to heat a 20x40 pool (NY) what are my best options?

    I finally have my pool up and running. However, I want to add a heat source to it. It’s a 20x40 about 55,000 gallon pool that sits in the sun for most of the day. I don’t have natural gas, and from what I’ve gathered, my best option would be propane or even maybe solar? I’m just looking for...

    What should I replace this electrical breaker box with?

    I’m putting in a new pump,filter, heater, and dome lights and maybe down the road a spa. So, maybe a silly question, would the pumps power cord plug into that panel somewhere or is that connected to some other power source? You see in my picture how it has the one outlet, would the easy touch...

    What should I replace this electrical breaker box with?

    I’m looking to switch over to a smart system type of thing, such as PentairEasytouch. If so, is this all that I would need? Do the easy touch and similar products as a breaker box?

    Which route would you go with?

    I suppose I’m just use to the DE filter and it had always worked super well. I saw the DE cartridge filters (Quad D.E cartridge filter) from Pentair, so these still need to use powder or less of it?
