I purchased a bargain suction side cleaner off amazon -best choice products brand. Somehow the little flapper gate on the hard plastic skimmer nozzle has disappeared and of course the company wants me to buy a whole new system. I only need the hard plastic assembly shown. Anyone have a clue...

The propane company set the tank and ran the line ( in the trench I dug) to the heater. They are now going to get service truck to fill it. Who is supposed to actually adjust the regulator pressure to the correct WC per manual?? Thanks Ron

I renctly purchased a used RP2100 millivolt heater from a man than used it 2 seasons then family illness caused them to remove pool. Heater sat in his garage for a couple years, now it's mine. Any advice of where to start? What to check? I know I need to purchase the drain plug(missing) and PVC...

Hi gang! Long time no read, been busy with winter activities, Family and Fireworks. Getting ready to open the pool for our 3rd season and found what I believe(hopefully) to be a great score. I purchased a Raypak 2100 heater and a Hayward ProGrid De4820 with Snyder valve for $125.00! The catch...

So I completed my install, poured the cantaliever coping and deck, removed the coping forms and overall it looks fantastic (finished in October, safety cover installed). Of course it's way to cold out to work on the pool but I'm looking for your suggestions on best practices for smoothing the...

Ok, I've read and reread Pool school, I understand what I need to do for the most part to close this weekend. My real question is how far to drain the pool. Pool school says 4 inches below returns. That would be 18 inches from the bottom of coping. My warranty says to leave at normal level but...

I finished my self install a week or so ago (working on concrete deck right now) and the pool is level as well as the water :party: the automation system works great but I'm concerned about my gauge readings at the filter. When on low speed it stays on 0, never moves even after a 24hours of...

Ok pool guru's, I'm finally installing my pool (signature line) I'm running the 2" plumbing and seem to get varying answers on pipe slope and pump placement. So, does the slope for Main drain & Skimmer lines need to slope toward the drain or toward the pump? How much slope? Why? Same...

I know it's late in the season (at least in Kansas) but I dig the hole Wed of next week and am installing the pool. I figure it will take a couple days to get all the plumbing, electric done. I need to know what I need for start up/first fill. The pump/filter etc should arrive next Monday so...

Hello, We live in an area with high manganese and iron. The local water department installed a filter system in the pump station that has made it better but still develop scaling on dog water bowls, fountain, etc.. I'm about to pull the trigger on an inground fiberglass pool (Riviera 30) with...

We're in the process of getting an inground fiberglass pool and the company wants to install a challenger pump and sand filter. After spending more hours than I can count online, I've found multiple sites talking about how expensive the challenger is to run. I found a pump called Eco pump that...
