I appreciate all the help! I'll give them a call for a quote. Thanks!

I would love an automatic cover, but not sure how reliable those are and how expensive at the end of the day. Also, my pool very oddly shaped. My current cover is pretty badly ripped so I'll need a new one regardless. If I can't get an automatic cover, I'd prefer a solid cover.

Is there a place where I can post to get recommendations for pool cover dealers? I'm in the market for a new pool cover and I could use some recommendations but don't want to break any rules.

I have a line of concrete between the top of my liner and the top of my pool. The concrete is starting to fall apart and ends up at the bottom of my pool! :( I'm looking to fix it this weekend. Is it just a matter of getting a concrete mix and patching these spots? Should I put anything over...

I just googled "Wolf Spider" and immediately regret that decision. If I saw one of those things, around my pool I'd would run away as far as I could and never return

I understand the rush to balance your pool completely, but you're saying your pool is crystal clear with 0 FC and 0 CYA? That just doesn't sound right to me, I'd reconsider blindly putting in CYA until you're sure, as lowering your CYA is much harder to do

I wanted to give an update after everyone's great advice. I was able to wire my new timer (as 240v) and I replaced the wiring for the pump as well, and it looks/works GREAT! Thank you everyone for your help... but you realize that I now how the confidence to hook up a SWG, so that will be my...

I can't really tell on my main breaker. (1st Pic). Might have to remove front panel? My sub breaker looks like it's 240v though. (It's the top one that controls my pump).

Just when I thought I was ready to go! But I really appreciate the advice. I have a 120v timer (to keep it the same as the old), but not big deal. I can return and get a 240v timer. My question is that I currently have a Main breaker that provides power to my Sub-breaker to my box, etc. If I...

No, the black cable is coming from the Pump, but I think it still should be grounded regardless. Just so I make sure I understand correctly, when I'm all done, should it look like this? (Please excuse my poor MS Paint Skills).

gtemkin, just to clarify. Do you think I should replace the wires leading to my pump (Straight to timer). or replace the "extended" connections? If so, which wires should I get? THHN? Sorry - Completely new at this, thanks for the help.

Right now I turn my pump on and off using the circuit breaker (Yeah I know). So I bought a new Intermatic timer to install. So I open my old timer and my electrical box and I see this mess... Where are my Black, red, and green wires? Any help would be appreciated.

So, I'm ready for my first ever deep clean in years. I open the plastic dome and......................... I see this: What do I do now? lol

Thanks Jason!!!!! I'll let you know how it goes! (Or if I fail miserably haha)

I want to caveat this post with the fact that I've never worked on electrical work / pvc piping before. BUT I am a good and quick learner. So anyways, you can see the pictures attached as my current setup (This was originally done by a pool store btw). So here are my questions: 1. Based on my...

Had my pool for 4 years, never did this, I'm excited / scared of what i'm about to find!!!

hmm, I was also thinking about converting to a salt water pool, but this conversation about the stone around the pool concerns me. My pool is surrounded by brick which is one of the softest materials. Am I going to have issues if I convert to a salt water pool?

Hi All, I'm still in the process of turning my pool from Green to Clean, and it's going better then ever this season (thanks to all of you). The guys at the pool store use to tell me not to use my robot on initial clean, but I can't trust them anymore... So I wanted to verify with you guys...

What a happy ending to this story!!!

Hello All! I cannot believe it took me so long before I stumbled upon this forum today and I have been reading it all morning. As you guys say I've been "Pooled Stored" for the past 5 years and yes, I have purchased what I thought to be "Shock" before :oops:. I have literally spent thousands...
