I have a real simple setup, single speed pump and polaris booster (all 240v). the PB who set this up (back 15+ years ago) used regular light switches to turn on and off power (kind of, lol, at least they're daisy chained). I am wondering what everyone is buying these days. The T104 seems to be...

I'm closing my in ground pool for the first time. I am worried about draining the pool low enough so that the returns aren't underwater. I have been told I have high ground water, and worry about floating the liner draining the pool that low. Below the skimmer, no problem. Can I still blow out...

So after a few months of living in this new house I'm starting to find some questionable electrical wiring, the pool included. I've got one cable going back to my breaker box to a 30 amp breaker. 2 wire cable (with unshielded ground), no neutral. My concern is that my 12v pool light and...

I currently have an extremely loud hayward max-flo ii. When I bought the house, the pool builder I found who inspected it all for me suggested replacing the entire pump, as he said he replaced the motor a couple of years ago yet it's still loud. It was a 1-hp model. How do I know what size pump...

I broke one of these on my polaris pump, the suction side (suction side for the booster at least), just after the filter : I think I'd rather hard plumb. Does anyone know the thread size for the quick connects? Do I use 1" schedule 40 PVC? If it's 3/4" threaded size and 1" PVC, I'd want this...

So I bought this house on 4/30, and it had that swamp out back. Well apparently someone, according to the original PB I found by chance, a contractor who wanted it for scaffolding, stole the diving board but left the base. I held out hoping it was at the bottom of the deep end, but thanks to...

Hopefully this doesn’t get too long… I bought a foreclosure with a pool. It’s been sitting for 7 months or longer with a crazy overengineered yet awful cover made out of 10mil plastic, wood beams going across the pool and wire mesh over that nailed into the wood stringers running across the...

I'm buying a house with an in ground vinyl pool from HUD. It's a foreclosure. They won't let me remove the pool cover before purchasing the house, they don't want the liability of someone drowning, there's no getting around it. There are, however, a few small holes in the "cover", which is...
