No. I can drill everything fresh if need be. I could either match the holes that will remain and the drill new ones near the ones that were cut out. Or fill all the holes and drill new

I did. Stainless steel was too difficult to drill and there were several. The heads are ground off flat now.

Replacing the pool liner right now. Several of the screws holding the sealing strip around the stairs in place were stripped and had to be grinded off. I have all new gasket material and strips. The issue is I can't match up the holes in the stairs because there are screw remnants in several...

What are the dimensions of your pool and how easy would it be to back up a concrete truck. Without dimensions, would have to guess. My math here is 21,000 gal/7.48 cf/gal = 2,807 cf. If ave depth was 7.5ft, then 374 sf. Going standard size about 24 x 16 Assume you have 4' slope from the...

2" of flowable fill is what they should be pouring. Hopefully not cement. But 2" is fine. Mine's been in for over 20 years that way.

I get it on my vinyl liner usually in the seams. It can be very tough to get rid of and do everything you can to keep it from spreading too much. Fortunately it never gets in the deep end. I put the mask on, swim down and scrape it loose with my fingernail. Once it breaks off it will be...

I have a M600 and dirty filters will keep it from climbing. If you are using the pleated filters, it doesn't take much and you need to clean them quite a bit. I don't use the pleated unless the pool is pretty clean. I just did a check on mine as it wasn't running and it looks like the motor...

I get it a Lowe's and pay about $13 for a 2-gallon pack

I have the metal bull nose coping that the concrete pours into. Will salt be too harsh on this? I can always touch up paint periodically. There are also a few other metal items such as screws on the skimmers and steps (stainless steel) and metal plates on the light niches. Ladder and steps...

I called Marina Pool, Spa, and Patio in Denver. It was too late to ship out, but I expect in around Wednesday and will do a post and review.

I just ordered a m600. store said they got them in yesterday and have quite ordering the m500 as they will likely be discontinued.

Your energy requirement is so small to start with, there isn't much to save so I would just get a low cost pump to circulate and shut it off when you don't need it. You are going to get all of your savings by properly sizing the pump to start with and not from efficiency. For example, if you...

Any chance you have ammonia? This year I went through 55 gallons of 10% before I was able to get FC off of zero. I used a test kit for my aquarium to test for it.

Darn. With a small leak I could see how there would be bubble every 2-3 seconds where there may be some high spots. The air accumulates and then pushes through when the volume is enough. Especially if you are referring to coming out the return. Do you see the same thing in the pump? Is there...

So you were definately deadheading your pump on low speed. Here is a link on some Hayward pumps and all of them only have a capability of pumping 13-17 feet, even at zero flow. That's about 5.6 to 7.4 psi, so you were right at the capability of the pump...
