    Is this a suitable replacement pressure switch?

    Greetings all, I got an error message on my Sta-Rite SR400NA heater about the pressure switch, so I decided to replace it with the exact same kind, TecMark 4037p pressure switch. Screwing out the old one and screwing in the new one seems simple enough, but I am wondering how to set it...

    Is this a suitable replacement pressure switch?

    Greetings all, I have a StaRite SR400NA heater, and need to replace the pressure switch. The one I have now is a TecMark switch and its model info says "4037P- CWCW, K30F/3005" (see first photo). One I found to replace it has similar, but non-identical model info: "4037P , K30F 1814" (see...

    Which replacement control panel do I need for Sta-Rite SR400NA?

    Greetings all, I have a Sta-Rite SR400NA heater, and the control board needs to be replaced becuz many of the LED lights are out. So I was going to replace it (and the membrane) with the 461105 kit. I had the heater open a couple days ago to clean it out (wood rat had been living in there)...

    Which replacement control panel do I need for Sta-Rite SR400NA?

    Thank you! We just bought a replacement Pentair 77707-0013 Control Board Enclosure Membrane that has a six pin connection, and I am presuming that if I buy the Sta-Rite control panel 42002-0007S (which also is a six pin connector) these will all work together with my Sta-Rite SR400NA heater...

    Which replacement control panel do I need for Sta-Rite SR400NA?

    Greetings all! I need to replace the control board on my Sta-Rite SR400NA heater, and I cannot for the life of me figure out what model I need. ANY help is very much appreciated. I can see in the photo that I have attached of the manual, that I need to know if my heater has a (1)'stack flue...

    Wondering how much evaporation loss is expected in covered pool?

    Greetings all! I know this forum is for "just getting started" and we have had our fiberglass pool since 2006 (thus not really "getting started"), so feel free to direct me to a better forum for this query. We had leak around the skimmer that we THINK we fixed. We haven't yet refilled the...

    Fixed skimmer leak with sealant; how long should I wait before refilling?

    Greetings! Firstly, forgot to mention this is a fiberglass pool. The suspected leak was in the vicinity of where the skimmer meets the skimmer face plate. Some sealer that had been originally applied there in 2006 was peeling off, and the gasket was really badly eroded. We took the face...

    Fixed skimmer leak with sealant; how long should I wait before refilling?

    Greetings! I had a leak in my pool skimmer, so I lowered the water below the leak and used Boss 801 to repair it. I know the tube says "cures and bonds in 24 hours. Optimum strength is achieved in 7 days;" it has now been about 2.5 days since the sealant was applied. Is it okay to refill the...

    Two Q's re: correct sealant use when replacing FG pool skimmer faceplate

    Thanks. Just checked very briefly online, and does not appear to be widely available in US, tho I could do a more diligent search later. Saw one vender that was selling a tube for $75! So that kind of suggests its imported from somewhere outside US. Otherchuck

    Two Q's re: correct sealant use when replacing FG pool skimmer faceplate

    Follow-up: Adding photo of scraps of old gasket which you can see is black (unsealed) on one side and white (presumably sealant) on the side that touches the FG pool wall. We are now thinking it is not necessary to use sealant on either side of the new gasket, but please let us know if anyone...

    Two Q's re: correct sealant use when replacing FG pool skimmer faceplate

    Greetings all, I have a fiberglass pool that has a leak which my wife and I are pretty sure is located at the front edge of the skimmer. The pool was put in in 2006, and the sealant in that area was peeling off, and the gasket between the faceplate and the pool is definitely degraded, leaving...

    Anything tricky about owner replacing skimmer faceplate and gasket on FG pool?

    Thanks all, but follow-up re: vtpools' comment: Interesting to hear that gaskets aren't used for fiberglass pools anymore. I said I was content to do the work myself, but my ignorance on things like this make me a little worried (truth be told, I worry about everything, as my wife often...

    Anything tricky about owner replacing skimmer faceplate and gasket on FG pool?

    Thanks for comments so far. Re: Yippy Skippy's question, yes, since the water was dropped below the skimmer, we have not seen the water level continue to drop except for what I think is just normal evaporation. And re: 1poolman1, thanks for the caution. That is exactly the kind of thing I was...

    Anything tricky about owner replacing skimmer faceplate and gasket on FG pool?

    Greetings, I have a fiberglass pool with a Sta-Rite skimmer. We have a leak in the pool and are fairly sure it is at the front edge of the skimmer. We were going to seal the gap, but realized (if we understand the construction correctly) that there is a gasket between the skimmer faceplate...

    How to clean white mineral deposits at waterline in fiberglass pool?

    Thanks! Wow, Texas Splash's "Fiberglass Discoloration (Faded and Chalky)" post is epic and very helpful! I only suggested "hard water deposits" in my original post because...well, because I thought with our ridiculously hard water (we are on a well system) we tend to get hard water deposits on...

    How to clean white mineral deposits at waterline in fiberglass pool?

    Greetings all! We have a sand-colored fiberglass pool, and ridiculously hard water. There is, of course, a hazy white section around the waterline that drives my wife absolutely nuts. We have currently drained the pool a little (beneath skimmer) for now to fix a leak around the skimmer, so...

    Can (possible) plumbing leak be repaired without jackhammering

    Greetings, My wife and I have a approx 12'x24' fiberglass pool, that was installed about 15 yrs ago. For some time now, I have been suspicious that there could be a leak in the plumbing (doubt it is in the pool itself) because I am losing more water than I think should be the case due to...
