    1.5 inch replacement hose for Coleman (Bestway) - does brand matter?

    For 1.5 inch replacement hoses, do you have to get the ones branded for your specific pool? I have a Coleman made by Bestway, but seems like stores only have the Intex 1.5 inch hose in stock right now. Wondering if really they're interchangeable so I could go with the Intex or not. Thanks!

    In ground spa jet replacement

    I need to replace my 20 year old spa jets. One has come apart, and the others don’t spin. I assumed you take them out by unscrewing the knurled ring, but the are stuck and I’m afraid I will break something if I keep at it. Any help appreciated. Thanks!

It's about 11 years in service, and I think it's on it's way out - it's getting a little noisy (bearings?) and occasionally does not start - and just gets very hot instead. Right now I can usually let...
