I've searched and found countless threads on this topic. The general consensus is air in the pump basket is caused by a leak somewhere on the suction side between the pool and the pump, or by a leak in the lid gasket. However, I'm not so sure that's the case here. So first a little background...

http://www.healthline.com/health-news/c ... ste-051613 I'd like to go on record as saying *my* pool is poo-free!

My average FC loss during the day is about 2 PPM, however on Sunday I measured the pool in the afternoon and found ZERO FC. There were only two factors that I had changed since Saturday that may have contributed to it: * Added 12 lbs calcium carbonate dihydrate to get CH from 200 to 300 *...

Can anyone help me locate a replacement gasket for an Intermatic timer? I can't find a part number on the box anywhere, and I haven't had much luck browsing through the Intermatic website for similar units. Is it possible that this gasket is not OEM, and added by the previous owner?

My spa has two drains: one on the floor and one on the wall. Only the drain on the wall appears to be sucking any water. This is slightly annoying because debris settles at the bottom and stays there. If I sweep debris towards the drain on the wall, most of it gets pulled into the drain, but it...

I'm a new pool owner with some very old pool equipment. My skimmer has a Pentair Rainbow Vac Mate:. This device is connected to my automatic cleaner (Polaris 145). A few weeks ago, while pulling the Vac Mate out to clean the basket, the plastic cracked due to becoming brittle over the years...

Hi everyone! Some background... My wife and I purchased a house with a pool last August. We weren't terribly excited about owning a pool at the time, but loved everything else about the house, so we went for it. I knew nothing about pool maintenance, so we hired a pool guy. 6 months later, we...
