    inground pool liner top sagging - not coming out of track

    Hi Guys, in-ground, SWG pool. The top of the liner(metal behind the liner) seems to be sagging. Is this a DIY or do I need to call in a pro? Was thinking of just putting peelable siicone in there to keep water out for summer, but never encountered this before. Thanks for any help! Brian

    new Hayward 1.5hp pump replacement, or 2hp???

    I need to buy a new pump. The old was a Hayward 1.5hp. On amazon, a 2hp is only $60 more. Is there any advantage to paying extra and getting the 2hp? My pump is wired at 110v. Thanks, brian

    Solar power to circulate water on slide

    Been toying with this idea for a a few years. Pretty much given up due to cost. Instead of solar powering a DC pump to run water down slide, do you think a 12v deep cycle battery, wired to pump and use a solar panel to charge the battery. An on\off switch to only circulate water when in use...

    Great white vacuum(GW9500) lift spring - where to buy cheap

    Hi, need the spring(GW9522) and I see it for no less than $15. I know $15 is not a lot, but it kills me to pay this for a simple spring. Has anyone matched one at a home depot or lowes? Anywhere else I might be able to pick up a simple, comparable spring? Thanks, Brian AKA "El Cheapo"

    SWG Cannot keep chlorine levels up. bad cell?

    update - purchased a t-15 from Hayward. Restled with buying a non OEM, but finally said I don't want to gamble. Before I took the cell to the pool store(where they said it errored), I cleaned it with straight white distilled vinegar. After the pool store, I took it home and installed it. It's...
