    Aquabot Rover/T-Jet parts. Moved on to new Dolphin

    I have two old Aquabot T-Jets and one really old Rover, none of which are currently working. I also have a brand new replacement motor that I bought many years ago that is probably still working. My T-Jet stopped working this summer due to a crack in the electric line, which I tried to repair...

    Cover anchors in old concrete

    Helping a friend put in new mesh cover for the winter. The pool and concrete are at least 15 years old, so not green concrete. Most of the existing anchors are loose or bent or both, plus the new cover has several new anchor points we need to drill. When my pool was put in, the anchors were...

    Using gray schedule 40 conduit for solar?

    Helping a neighbor install solar for an above ground pool next to his deck. We are going with 3 4x12 "inground" panels on his deck cover. His deck and house are gray. I happen to have a piece of schedule 40 pvc that is normally used for electrical conduit and sold that way at the big box stores...

    Free Pool Buster / Blaster filters

    Have 2 sets of Pool Buster / Blaster filters. So 2 fine and 2 regular. My Busters are dead and gone, hate to see these filters wasted - one set is brand new, never used. PM me and I'll put them in an envelope and send them out. First come, first serve! If I get two quick replies, I'll send a...

    Tile mural inlay in concrete - how do I proceed?

    Had to cut out a section of concrete in my pool deck to fix a return line leak. Finally getting around to permanently closing the hole. Partly for the fun of it and partly to "cover up" what would just be an ugly square of different concrete, we are planning to put a nice, big, tile sea-turtle...

    Aqua Rite - should current limiter get VERY hot

    I tried to replace the current limiter on my old (2004) Aqua Rite, it worked for a few minutes but then I got a PCB message. Bought a new PCB on amazon. Just installed. Everything seems to be working, generating chlorine, the numbers look good etc. However, I touched the black current...

    Pool Rover Plus power supply

    I have a Pool Rover plus that has worked great for about 5 seasons. This year, it won't run. The power supply does not seem to be putting out any voltage, though it does hum. The fuse is fine. A new power supply is about $160 and non-returnable *AND* several stores have said that it is more...

    I have a leak in my return line. The fitting is broken and I have the replacement. Pool is drained well below the fitting. Everything is set except I cannot figure out how to get the beaded liner out of the track in order to get the old fitting out and the new fitting in. (20 x 40 IG). I...

    Concrete cutting - do it myself?

    I have to cut some concrete on my pool deck in order to repair a return line leak. It appears as though my pool builder is out of business, so no help there. Home Depot rents the hand held cutters (they look like oversize skill saws) and the rental guy says they cut like a dream. I am...

    SWG rough estimates for commercial pool

    My son is now on a swim team and I was talking to his coach (he also manages the pool he swims at). The pool is a typical swim team pool in the Northeast, six lanes, 25 yds long (so it would be a 25 x 75 x 6 (approx), about 110,000 to 125,000 gal). He is thinking about putting up solar as he...

    Help with pressure side (probably) leak

    Our pool definitely has a leak, starting about 8 weeks ago or so. Much larger water loss than normal. I have been letting it go to try and get a feel for when the leak is. IG pool, BTW. I did several bucket tests and am confident that I do have a leak. Initially, I thought it was in one of...
