The bottom (aluminum) rail of my pool cage is rusting from water pooling there after a rain. One Screen Repair guy tells me they do not replace the 1X2 rain because the pool is anchored by them. They just installed a 1X2 aluminum cover and anchor that with a couple screws into the concrete...

I agree with you that the stains are organic in nature. I will post test results today. I do have an outdoor pool cage. After reading some more posts I believe you hit the nail on the head Texas. I have an oak tree branch extending over the pool cage in that corner of the pool. I think its time...

Any luck figuring this out RCM? I have something similar looking but the spots can be easily removed with a chlorine tablet. However spots are back the next day.

Just started noticing tiny light brown spots on my pool floor. Its in ground with a year old diamond brite finish. Water is in chemical balance. The stains are easy enough to remove with a chlorine tablet but they come back the next day.

Thats good advice. I decided to check the cartridge again. Lo and behold I discovered that pieces of rubber had broken off the bottom seal. I followed some advice to look down the middle of the cartridge and thats how I spotted it. Like most other people I always stand the filter upright when I...

Thanks for your reply. My water chemistry is fine. Pretty sure what I'm seeing on the bottom of my pool is not dead algae based on pictures I've seen. I have tiny black particles that appear to be related to the trees around and over my pool. The particles are small enough to drop through the...

Lately, after vacuuming my in ground pool with my manual vac I've noticed the dirt coming right back and settling on the bottom within minutes. The vac has good suction. I'm thinking the vacuum or the cartridge filter is somehow not working. We clean the filter once a week which is probably much...

Thanks. Much appreciated !

I did call them. They have a totally automated phone system, no real people. They "will get back to me". I'm not holding my breath given their reputation for poor customer service.

I have purchased 6 4X12 Fafco panels that are Sunsaver St panels. These have individual channels that snap in to a bracket running across the panel. I am replacing Fafco panels with the channels all bound together. ( Not sure of their model name). My question is whether the two types will play...

Oh ok thanks.

What is bumping?

I need replacements for 4X12 fafco solar panels. I see many different brands out there for sale, used, of course. My questions is...are there other brands that are compatible with fafco panels? I don't want to travel a distance, buy something and then it doesn't fit. Thanks !

Looking for more of an explanation than this. Especially the rumbling noise when it shuts off. I think that noise signifies something specific. I'm selling this heater Saturday and want to make sure its right for the buyer and not just a low water flow issue.

I have a Hayward H400FP propane heater that has not been used very often. When I turn it on the fan starts followed shortly by the propane igniting. It runs for less than a minute and then shuts off . When it shuts off it makes a noise that sounds like rocks rattling around inside the heater. I...

Doesn't anyone out there have experience with this? Moderators and Experts? This will cost me several thousand dollars and I don't want to make a mistake.

I have two estimates to refinish my pool. I've been told I have the original marcite finish over gunite. Not sure when the marcite was installed. I only know that the house was built in 1992. The two contractors disagree with regard to how the new finish of Diamond Brite will adhere to the pool...

I would agree with that Dodger. I think its a matter of valve positioning. Not sure I mentioned that I discovered that the main drain had been shut off and the skimmer was fully open since I moved in a year ago . Never thought to check because I had no problems with the pool and my pool guy kept...

I did close it and the returns for awhile once. Not sure if that kick started it or what. I have not removed the heads yet or done anything further, just haven't had time.

Thanks guys and Kattie. I like the idea of an in floor system too. I forgot to mention that I have a pool cage but I think you can see it in one of the pictures I posted. I mention this only to point out I have no problem with leaves. I do have two oak trees that overhang the cage at the back...

Pop up valve is middle one. Fountain is on the left and open. Return on right and closed. I want to make sure I get the correct pop up removal tool. Where can I find one? Does Paramount make one? Thank you.

Gotcha, I stand corrected. The Mamba is a suction cleaner too and not expensive but does a reasonably good job. I do have solar heating-came with the house. I had bought the Hayward propane heater for a 18X33 above ground pool at my last house. I couldn't sell the heater or 500 gallon tank for a...
