In July 2014 I replaced the original pump (20+ years old, noisy and leaking) with a new identical pump, a Hayward SP2607X10 Super Pump 1-HP. Worked fine for the past 3 pool seasons. I've got my pool open this season but both the suction and output of my pump is really poor. I can't open both...

Took off the cover today. Green but could see the bottom in the shallow end. Got the filter up and running and started to hammer the pool with bleach. Brushed the whole pool. Turned the Stenner on too and let it run...so I'm getting chlorine into the pool. I didn't need to add any water to the...

I just finished closing my pool for the 1st time using an Air Supply Cyclone Liner Vac 3HP 120V 3-Stage, instead of my 26 gallon Craftsmen compressor. The Cyclone was well worth the purchase. Instead of doing "tank dumps" and having to wait each time for the compressor tank to refill, I had all...

This season I dumped my old Polaris for a Dolphin Nautilus, I'm happy with the decision. I tossed the old rickety Polaris bot but kept the 3/4 HP booster pump, thinking it could possibly be used as a pool drainage pump. I rewired it for 115Vac and gave it a try tonight, just would not prime. I...

Since this website helped me get my swamp of a pool back into shape this season I've been only using bleach. The daily "glug, glug, glug" while kneeling in front of a return is getting old fast. I've already missed a night by mistake and would really like to automate this process. After much...

Yesterday was the first real full day running my pool with my new solar panels. My old ones got damaged in Hurricane Sandy along with my roof. State Farm paid for a new roof and panels. I did all the work myself as I installed the originals solar panels. The new strap tie down system is a great...

I’ve been maintaining my 16’ x 32’ vinyl in ground pool with DE filter by myself buying stuff from Leslies for over 15 years. About 8 years ago I got a Loop Lock cover, no more water bags and scooping leaves but at opening the water requires way more effort to get swimmable. Opened this year and...
