I have a Jandy Colors light, the 120V Halogen one (I think, there is not an external transformer). There are only 4 of the 8 lights working. I was going to replace them, but I thought it might be better to replace the Halogen bulbs with LEDs. Has anyone done this? As far as I can see with the...

I have 8 or so feral cats, that my neighbor feeds. I usually don't mind them, they seem to keep the mice away. This winter i noticed that they were climbing into my pool through a gap between my safety cover and waterfall. The snow just melted and the pool is not frozen, and they are still going...

I have a 25K Gal In ground Pool in South East Pa. I currently have propane for my furnace, Hot Water Heater, Stove/Burners, and 13Kw Backup Gen. I have a 500 gal underground tank, and could get the gas to my pad where the pool heater would go. I talked to the guy at the pool store and he said...

I have a black mesh cover that seems to do it's job. Last year I opened to pretty clear water. I did get a lot of leaves in through the gap between the safety cover and the waterfall. Is there something I can shove in there to help keep the leaves out? - - - Updated - - - The length of the...

Has anyone ever used their spa blower to blow out their lines for their main drains and lower (below the winter water line returns)?

My pump looses prime overnight. It is about 10' higher than the pool, and i notice that the basket empties out when the pump shuts down for the night. It always re-primes on it's own and has protection if it wouldn't, I just worry that this is a problem. I do not have any check valves, and the...

Last year we installed a new gunnite Gal 25K in ground pool with a waterfall in SE PA. We bought a Merlin safety cover that was dark in color, and mesh. We got pretty many leaves and worms in it along a small gap on the waterfall side. We just opened it today and hit it with 10 Gals of 12.5%...

I bought a new sunlight blocking mesh cover this summer from Merlin. I noticed where it meets up with the waterfall there is a cable that holds it up to the waterfall. There is about 1 1/2 to 2 inches of space between the waterfall and the cover that some leaves are getting blown in. Is there...

I have a new pool this year and had the pool company close it for me. I think I am going to do it myself next year, but the the Pool company had a cool device that seemed to make it easier. They had a lid for the pump that had a 2" port on it to hook their blower up to it. I have a pentair...

I have tons of leaves around this time of year, and the skimmers (2) do fill up. Has anyone one of these http://www.amazon.com/Solar-Breeze-004801100000-Pool-Skimmer/dp/B00DF7WCWE?

I get bubbles in all my returns after the pump comes back on in the morning for 10 mins or so, but then they go away. They are small bubbles. It seems that the pot stays full in the pump. I am just asking because everything is under warranty and if there is a problem I want to get it fixed...

[attachment=0:1i0mfzcy]20130711_180658.jpg[/attachment:1i0mfzcy]I am looking at a safety cover for this winter, and I am thinking I would like a mesh cover. I don't want to pump or deal with a super heavy cover. I have a gravity drain on one side of the pool. My pool is new this season and it...

Cl 8 PH 7.4 TA 100 CH 240 CYA 30 I am using 3in tabs in a chlorinator, and had a party this weekend. I keep the chloranitor at 6 all the time, but today I noticed it seemed a little strong and it tested at 8. The water is clear. We have had a lot of rain, and i did pump to waste yesterday...

I just got a Dolphin Dx6 and it has been running for 1 hour in my 25,000 plaster pool, and i think it is finished. We just had a bunch of storms and it got all he leaves and mulch up that fell in. Can I run it while the pump is running, or should this only run at night when the pump is off...

I have a 4 week old pool that we are just starting to use, I have been keeping the levels good and brushing. I am getting a lot of bloody big toes. The kids and me are skinning the bottoms of our big toes. I don't know if this is from the fresh brushed concrete deck, or the new plaster pool...

I have a 3 week old plaster pool and I am using the chlorinator they gave me with the 3in tabs. The water looks and feels good, so what should I be testing? All the tests? in the TS-100?

I am thinking about a Dolphin DX 4 cleaner I want to run it at night. I have the option of a bag, or for extra cost a filter cartridge system. I have a lot of leaves and acorns. Would the bag not fill as quickly and work better in my situation? The Local pool store that sells them is offering...

I just bought a foreclosed house in the northern suburbs of Philadelphia, Pa. Either the previous owner, or bank drained the Viking Caribbean fiberglass pool and it heaved and split end to end. I choose to build a whole new plaster pool and deck, and it was filled 3 weeks ago. I have been...
