Good afternoon everyone. I had some sand in my pool I vacuumed out using bypass to waste and now the pump is making this noise. I ran it for about ten seconds with the water off on accident when it started doing it (I know, big mistake). Is this thing going to die on me? It’s only about three...

Hello Everyone, It looks like I have a pump shaft leak, I can see it flowing just a bit when the pump is running. If I close the knob by the pump basket and close the filter, is it then possible to remove the pump without having to drain everything or will water still try to drain from the hose...

Morning Everyone, Quick question. When I attach the black flexible hoses that just slide on to the skimmer to pump and pump to return, should I add anything or are there any tricks to ensuring a tight seal? These are the black 1 1/2" flexible hoses that slide on to the male end and have the...

Good Morning! I opened the pool yesterday and it appears I have one or two issues. I have a small like at the union between the pump and pump basket (just after basket, but before the hose that goes to filter). This leak is just a somewhat faster drip, but goes away when the pump is running...

I'm closing my pool for the first time. I have the cover on, pump and filter disconnected from each other. Water drained to below skimmer and return. My questions are: 1. Do I need to plug the return and skimmer or anything? 2. I know I need to store the pump inside, but do I need to...

I am approaching close to one full week with my first pool ever. So far I have been using the BBB method and so far, everything has been great. My question is this, what should I be doing to test my daily chlorine use? Should I be using the test in the blue box (taylor) for the daily and add...

Morning everyone. Is this something that should concern me? My FC last night was 3.5 and CC 0, this morning the FC was at 2.5 and CC at .5. The CC was within limits but I lost chlorine overnight. Do you think this something to be concerned about or is this normal? I added more bleach this...

Ok, have a question that I should probably already have an answer for ate this point. My pool is getting installed in two days and I don't know where to put the pump and filter. If I put it on one side it will be about a 20' trench for electric (including under a sidewalk) right to the wall...

Good Morning Everyone! So we finally decided to get a pool again (I was within minutes of getting one a month ago and started to panic when I realized my yard would be dug up a bit, so backed out). We are going to Watsons today to purchase a 24' agp. I know I am going to use the BBB method...
