I just replaced another motor on my Hayward pump - I put a new one on early LAST season. Its always the same thing... the black wire is toasted inside the round motor cover. I've bought spare motors from several places - always the exact same specs / same box / same 'made in china'. There is...

Opened my pool yesterday - Central PA - 16x32 with a 8' deep diving end - built in '08 - Pool Pilot SWG I use the test kit I got here and keep my water chemistry pretty good - I LOVE my SWG pool. Maintenance is minimal. I've had wrinkles for ever and I've tried the plunger trick with no...

I have been getting a Clean / Check Cell error on my system. Up till now the thing has run FLAWLESSLY since '08 - I LOVE my pool pilot! +/- 20K gal in-ground. Water is always PERFECT. I admit to being a little lazy this year with checking and maintenance (23 days of measurable rain in June...

Been waiting for that ONE MORE WEEKEND with good temps but... It Ain't gonna happen here in central PA. So, the Boss & I got started on the the process. I use rubber plugs with Schrader valves and very little anti-freeze. I Don't lower my pool water below the skimmer and have been very happy...

A little different than FudgeBar's recent post... My liner is coming out in the corner of the deep end. Simple 16x32 with diving board and AutoPilot SWG. Pool was built in '08. What is the slick way to fix this - it seems to be getting worse and I don't want water to get behind it. Here's...

Hi All Every year I close my pool with PERFECT, clear water. Have a mesh cover. When I open its ALWAYS a little cloudy - just a little. I always figured it was pollen - 1 week with a skimmer sock & vac-ing and it was perfect again. Not THIS YEAR! opened 4-15 (tax day every year) Still...

Hi all closed my SWG pool yesterday - went pretty smooth but.... ladder and handrail were hard to remove. The Alum pockets in the cement are kinda rough looking (pitted) and the ladder / rail tubes are filled with a white slimy jelly / goo stuff that needs powerwashed out. I think it is salt...

Hi all - I own a lawn service company in Central Pa (and I'm a pool owner). This year we've had many calls regarding " you got fertilizer in my pool and now my Phosphate level is off the chart" They ALL come from one pool company that is - in my opinion - too lazy to dig into their customers...
