So I replaced my pump and the new pump was bigger dimensionally and needed 10” of straight run for the intake. The other pump should have had it too, but the previous installer ignored that apparently as well as he glued all three jandy valves together so that when one valve cracked, the...

Hi all. My 2hp single stage pentair pump died so I replaced it with a Leslie’s Jacuzzi JVS270S variable speed pump (max 2.7hp). Since this pump sits higher I had to move the pump location due to overhead piping from the filter. I got it all back together and it appears I have a suction leak...

I have a pool and spa that has old timeclock type controls and am looking for a system to update the controls. Does anyone here have recommendations for a system I could buy and install myself?

I am trying to figure out the piping arrangement for the pool at the new house we just bought. Where do y'all think the Blower ties into the spa return? In the photo attached there appears to be two return lines for the Spa?

Hi All, We just bought a house with a pool that had the heater removed a few years back. It has a hot tub and we'd like to get a heater for it. Do y'all have a recommendation for a heater unit. It's a weird shaped pool IMO, but hey, it's water. ~9,000 gallons Surface area ~260 sq ft. I have...

Other that Intex, what recommendations do y'all have for SWG for my 18ft dia. Above Ground Pool?

I have a Hayward C550 cartridge type filter/pump unit and have been running it for a few years. I noticed that after i vacuum the pool, shortly after all the dark finer debris I just vacuumed is back on the floor of the pool. To ensure that it wasn't algae growing back overnight, I attached my...

Our neighborhood pool has apparently tuned green and the pool company is giving a lame excuse, I think. Anyone care to give their opinion. This makes me glad I have my own pool "Further investigations also revealed the phosphate levels and TDS (total dissolved solids) in the pool water are...

I bought this swg for my Intex 18x48 pool with a 4000gpm Hayward pump which is the max they say the unit is good for. My problem is my chlorine level dwindles over a few days to the point I keep getting algae (FC was 2ppm last night). I tried the unit with cya levels from 30-60 and still keep...

I noticed something interesting. Our neighbor behind us has a bee hive in the wall of their house:-( We have a saltwater pool and the bees were inundating our newly filled pool to a point that you wouldn't want to get in. The salt didn't bother them. I waited a couple of days to go get some...

My fairly new (2 week old) intex Krystal Clear Ozone and saltwater system model ZS8110 seems to be running, then it beeps with no error code, the green salwater generation light goes out and then comes back on blinking for a few seconds and then goes back to generating chlorine. This happens...

I bought a new 18 ft pool to replace my badly rusted standard "Blue" intex pool. I figured it would hook up the same as the one I had, but was I wrong. My new 18ft Ultraframe pool has two suction connections vs the single one my old one had. I have a hayward cartridge filter that I want to...

I have an 18ft diameter above ground pool and have extended my 16ft wide deck out to the pool (coped around a section of the pool). I want to build a deck addition that goes around the pool that with at top of deck elevation approx 12" above grade, well below a level to use it to enter the...

I finally have fixed all of my AGP woes. As you can see from the photos I have hard piped the strainer basket, hard piped all of the out-of-the-water parts and even added a water fountain for the kids. I have also installed a removable filter bag assembly to the pool That I only run when I am...

I had a friend give me a Hayward C550 filter w/1hp pump today. Problem I am having is it can't get enough water through the skimmer intake and return jet of my Intex 18ft AGP, and the Strainer basket is sucked dry. When I run the filter with both supply and return hoses over the side in the...

Which sand filter do y'all recommend? I'm going to ditch the useless cartridge filter.

Hi. my wife bought an 18ft round above ground pool that I didn't want when I went to work offshore. Now it has become my job to keep it clear and blue :( So, as she went on a trip with her friend I am now trying to make it clear and blue (from soupy green). This website has been great. We...
