After cleaning the filter today it seems that even though I get it tight the thing doesn't leak it gushes. It feels like the cartridge is sitting correctly. I really don't know what is the problem. It seems that when I put the cartridge in that one side is a tiny bit higher. I don't know...

I went to the pool store to get my water tested and he said that it is high in phosphates. I have owned a pool for 20 years and never heard of this. He said it is from the rain water. He said it is at 300. He said that I needed to add a bottle of Phos Free. I usually use Pool Doctor but...

I need to add 5 lbs of baking soda and have never done this. Where do I put it. In skimmer or broadcast around pool?

Mine fell off when the kids were making big waves. How do you get it back on. Should you be on the inside of the pool or looking through the skimmer? Should the pool be on or off? What is the trick? I now need to go get a new one because me or my DD broke it when we were trying to get in on.

How long do pool pumps usually last. I got one in 3/04 and something went on it before warranty and got a new one 3/05. Now I need a new one. It is a 1 1/2 hp centurion. Wondering if it is the correct size. My pool is about 29 x 19 freeform with 6 returns and 3 jets for the bench also have...

My pool was working fine yestarday and today it didn't turn on. At first I thought that the electric co had it stopped for a while. I went out again because it didn't come on and heard a low humming sound. Turned it off, cleaned the filter which wasn't dirty. It hums then stops. Does that...

I have a Jacuzzi brand cartridge filter and it seems to be leaking from the bottom, not from fittings. It is 14 years old and don't know if I need a new one or this can be fixed. Any advise would be helpful. TIA.
