    Hello, We’re new homeowners and the home came with an above ground pool. I’m at the point where the equipment is set up and I’ve just started vacuuming.

    Can't get new VSP pump (lid?) to seal, large air pocket forms over hours (video linked)

    I replaced my pool pump and I replumbed the last couple of feet of underground suction-side plumbing before the pump, since the new pump didn't fit between the house and the existing plumbing.

    Air in Pump Basket

    Hello, I am brand new to pools. We purchased a house and inherited an inground pool with a raised spa (details in sig). Best guess is that the pool/plumbing is around 15 years old. It had serious plaster issues so just had it re-tiled and re-plastered...currently 2 weeks into the plaster cure...

    When will Jandy pool filters and pumps be available following Winter Storm?

    We lost our Jandy CV460 cartridge filter and the strainer pot on our Jandy Stealth 2.0 hp pump. Pool services around Wichita Falls, TX have been very responsive and willing to work. However, all 3 I have dealt with so far say the same thing...We don't know when we will be able to get any of...
