My dad said that the guy said the leak is between the pool and the pump in the PVC, not at the jet. I wish it was at the jet.

Was told that we have black algae in the pool. The recommended treatment was: - Drain the pool fully - 30,000 gallons - use algaecide and scrub every inch of the pools surface - throw away all pool equipment - skimmer, brush, etc. - get new filter grids - essentially empty, scrub and get...

My dad has a leak at his pool that was located with a hearing device. The leak is in the PVC pipe that leads to a jet from the pool pump. We are leaking about 1000 in 2 - 3 days. It was recommended to dig up the flagstone and dig down 3 feet to the pipe. Looking for a magic bullet to fix...

welllllll Crud! Thank you for taking the time to explain that to me.

We bought our house in 2010. This is my first pool, and first pool pump rebuild. The pool pumps just arent pushing that much water. I don't know how old the pool pumps are - i am guessing they are 15 years old or so. I don't want to spend $1500 on a new VS Pump. Where can i find the parts...

Thanks for the thorough response. The pump is within 20' of the pool. The pump is above the pool water level and 1.5" suction pipes.

Yep, my parents have a salt water pool and love it.

I just measured my swimming pool and calculated the pool volume. It is a pretty small swimming pool - 26' long x 14' wide x 33" deep in shallw and 60" deep in deep end. The calculator says i have just over 8,000 gallon pool. What size pool pump do I need for this size pool. I am looking for...

Any cheaper alternatives. The Hayward 2.7HP is $1800 and the Pentair 3HP is $3,000.

Awesome, thank you for your time.

Got an old DE pool filter and these two old pumps. I'd like to get something that is more efficient that will work with the DE filter. Or is the pool filter so archaic that i need to change it as well.

Wow, thanks for the info. What make and model would you go with? Size, etc. 15,000 gallong pool.

Any thoughts on the cause for no water movement through the jets?

Here are the tags on the pumps

I have a 15k gallon pool. The pool is holding water well, no leaks or water level dropping (The water level is important due to the bubbles - see below). I got a pump problem. These pool pumps are made by Centurion Model B123 and Centurion Model B625. Neither of these pumps have been...

I have never rebuilt a pool pump before. I have these two pumps amd they look quite old and most likely need to be rebuilt. What parts would you use to rebuild the pump and where would you source those parts?

Thank you so much for the above info. With a 25,000 gallon SALTWATER pool, what amount of liquid bleach would you add initially while he is waiting on his test kit?

My Dad has a green algae issue for a couple of years and cannot get rid of it. He has gone in, got the water tested and Leslie's will sell him a slew of chemicals to fix the problem. Today my Dad was grumbling about filling the pool in with dirt and being done with it. Obviously, that isn't...
