I need to replace my pool light. It's an inground light with the cord that runs about 50 feet. Just replacing the bulb isn't an option as the housing and cover plate are beyond repair. The cheapest replacement options I can find are a llittle over $200. Does that sound about right and does...

The motor recently failed. I had a friend help replace it for me. It is a Hayward Super pump 2. It worked for a couple days. Now it is not pumping water. The motor is running. There is kind of a grinding sound in the area of the impeller. I removed the basket and checked for a blockage and could...

I am currently using a Hayward De3600 and the filter housing is cracked. What are some recommendations for a suitable replacement and where I could get one at the best price? I would prefer a filter that would connect to the fittings that are already installed, so I just have to screw in the...

The pump is running. I have tried setting it to the skimmer, vacuum, and both. The skimmer basket at the pool and the basket at the pump are empty and there are no visible obstructions. I came home to see this. I turned the pump off and opened the basket at the pump. There was water inside, but...

Other than tennis balls. My dogs like the foam noodles, but they can get torn up pretty quick. Does anyone have an idea for durable toys that are dog/pool friendly?

I have seen a few posts about people who need to leave their pool unattended for an extended period of time (7-10 days). And the use of pucks is often a suggestion. Why couldn't the FC level be raised based on average daily loss? So if you will be leaving for 10 days and your average loss is 2...

I am new to this and still learning. Does algae only get caught in the filter when it is dead because the process somehow makes it larger, or does dead and live algae both get caught, but the live algae multiples so fast that it is impossible for the filter to catch all of it? I suspect the...

I just grabbed this image off Google. I have a spot that looks similar, but not as bad. I found this much elsewhere "A worn surface can stain more easily, promote algae growth not to mention be rough to the touch." Can there be more serious problems?

I am fairly new to pool maintenance. I was paying someone to it but he is currently unavailable. I thought it would be a good time to learn myself. Anyway, I purchased 2 1lb bags of shock to treat my pool. The bag said either to spread it around the pool or that it can be poured into the skimmer...
