It looks like the seal failed in our Pentair underwater pool light and it needs to be replaced. We have had the pool 8 years and I never thought to replace the seal. Is there a recommended time frame to replace the seal in an underwater pool light? I'd rather pay $15 for a new seal, than $500...

It has been pretty hot here in PA and the water temp has been close to 90. I noticed some algae starting to form around the top of my pool light, so I pulled it out to clean around the light. This is the first time in 7 years I removed the light, so it was due for a cleaning. Has anyone else...

I am in the process of purchasing a SWG and was reviewing the Pool School recommendations for balancing water in a SWG pool. I was surprised the TA was listed in the 60-90 range, so I plugged in the recommendations into the Pool Calculator. When I did that the results came back that the water...

I'm in the market for a SWG and was wondering what the typical installation costs are?

Yes, that's not a typo. I just received the Leslie's pool supplies spring catalog and they're offering a whopping $15 off a SwimPure SWG. I thought it had to be a mistake given that the SWG is $999 regular price. Was it a typo in the catalog? Is it really 15% off or maybe they left off the 0 and...

I think the bearings are starting to go on my AO Smith motor, so I am thinking about possibly replacing it with a model that is more energy efficient. I'd like to get your thoughts on the models I'm looking at. Current motor: AO Smith 1.5 HP, 1.1 SF Single speed option: Emerson 1.5 HP, 1.5 SF...

I have an AO Smith 1.5 HP motor running through a Crystal Water SVL56 pump. The pump/motor is only 4 yrs old, but has been getting louder since we opened the pool this year. However, the noise isn't consistent in that it's sometimes loud and sometimes not. When the bearings start to fail is the...

I'm tiring of the issues with the chlorine pucks, like raising the stabilizer levels so I am considering a SWG. Do you know if SWG also soften the water? We have hard water (325+ Calcium Hardness), so that would be an added benefit if it helps with the hardness levels.

This is a great forum and I'm appreciative of all of the help. I'd like to get your ideas on maintaining a safe PH during the winter. Last year, I opened the pool to find the PH over 8 and scale covering the pool (it was bad...cut your feet bad). Anyway, thanks to a better test kit and the...

Hi. I'm new to the forum and have appreciated all of the helpful advice and tips. I need to lower my TA and am going to try the aeration method I've read on this forum. Does anyone know how long you need to aerate to raise the PH? I have a 23,000 gallon plaster pool.
