    Very old, dilapidated mechanical timer

    I understand the whole box is nightmarish. I have several questions, but let’s start with the basics. Can anyone identify this timer? How can I bypass it so the pump is just operated by the circuit breaker?

    Just keep slamming?

    My pump died in February and I took far too long to get it replaced. I've been fighting a swamp for about a week and a half now. The water is a much prettier color now, but still super cloudy. Do I just stick with the SLAM or should I try more aggressive measures (partial drain and refill...

    Leak!

    I just moved into this house and inground pool maintenance has quickly become my new hobby/obsession. My pool holds about 10,000 gallons.

    Air in filter

    Hey everybody, New here, just moved into a house with a 20+ year old fiberglass pool. I've never taken care of a pool before, but I'm figuring it out (obsessing). On to my question... I just replaced the cartridge in my filter. The old one was welllll beyond its life. Now, I can see tiny...
