    Run backwash hose back into pool

    An update...Got the multiport valve fixed this morning! It didn't even need a new gasket, the handle just needed to be lubed with some WD-40 so it would move properly and seat itself. I watched the repair guy do the whole thing, and it was so easy! He showed me how to replace the gasket...

    Run backwash hose back into pool

    I know I could most likely fix this myself, but I just don't have the confidence! So I'm going to watch the person I hired to do this, so that when it happens again, I will do it myself!

    Run backwash hose back into pool

    OK, before you think I'm nuts (why would anyone want to backwash INTO the pool), I am awaiting a repair to my multiport valve, and cannot run my pump on any valve setting, because water keeps coming out of my backwash hose. Is there any reason I can't continue to run my pump on FILTER, and...

    Question about pool lights

    Our pool is a little over a year old. It is 18' x 40', 3 bump kidney shape. We have one SAM light in the middle of the 40' long side. We were assured by our PB that one light would be sufficient. Now we have come to the conclusion that it is not, and the shallow end and the deep end are not...

    Soon-to-be hole in vinyl liner

    Yes Yes, I need help. If I mess this up, my husband will never let me forget it! The area that sticks out is probably the size of a nickel to a quarter. So I should cut a round patch, a little larger, right? I was thinking maybe 3 inches in diameter, to make sure it covers any possible tear...

    Soon-to-be hole in vinyl liner

    We don't lower our water for winter because we don't close the pool. So I guess we will try to patch it. We have some of the leftover liner, do we use that, or is there a special "patch" material?

    Soon-to-be hole in vinyl liner

    My pool is a little over a year old. While swimming yesterday, we noticed something on the side wall in the shallow end. About 1 1/2 feet below the surface, you can fell the outline of a small rock under the liner. It sticks out, and you can tell it's a rather sharp feeling pebble. I just...

    When are deck jets installed?

    Ours do just fine on the main pump with everything else. We have a 2 speed pump, and we do have to run it on high, simply because our &(#@^&$ pool builder forgot to put them in the pool deck, so they actually about 5 feet outside the edge of the pool. But if we have the pump on high, and cut...

    When are deck jets installed?

    Whatever you do, talk to the PB ASAP...ours forgot about the deck jets, and we didn't catch it until after the deck had been done. Now our "deck" jets are "yard" jets! Ours run off the same pump as the rest of the pool, with a valve that we can open or shut to direct water to them.
