I need to get a new motor for my Hayward sp2607x10 pump and I found the replacement and while I was on a website it showed there is a VS motor replacement for my pump, my question is, am I able to replace the motor and put a VS motor without doing anything else. Here is a link to the VS motor...

So I need to deep clean my sand filter and I read the article on here about doing it. It all seems self explanatory but I do have one question as I have never done this before. The article talks about the filter being isolated from the pool plumbing. Does that mean I need to disconnect it or...

I have not been in our house a year yet, so I'm still pretty new learning about pools and repair. Obviously a previous owner patched the pool step, but it is looking pretty bad. So my question is, does anyone know what kind of patch this would have been? Also, If I take it off, what's the...

Hello, I opened my pool on Tuesday this week. The pressure on the filter was 14 and on Wednesday evening it went up to 20, so I backwashed it and rinsed it. It went back down to 14. Now 2 days later it is back up to 20 again. I am a new pool owner and this is my first opening I have gone...

So my plan is to open my pool late April/beginning of May. I live in midwest and it has been unusally warm here. I have a mesh cover on and I am wondering if I should do anything to the water before the cover comes off and I open it. I have not tested water, but I know that algae starts to...

Hello, so we have gotten some heavy rain and I noticed the water level is almost to the top of the skimmer. More rain in the forecast for next 3-4 days. I have a Pentair Multiport valve, is it best to drain from rinse or from waste setting? Thanks.

So I am trying to be good and do all the weekly cleaning and I went to clean the pump basket. I shut the pump off first. I then proceded to open the basket and clean it. While I did this, I heard a bunch of water leave and I don't remember that happening last time. So I did clean the basket...

Hello everyone, new pool owner here and the previous owner told me to run the pump 24/7. So I have a couple of questions, is this necessary and is there much of a rate difference to run 8-10 hours per day vs 24 hours for a whole month. Look forward to hearing the responses. Thanks.

So I just got a house that has a pool. I have ordered my Taylor 2006 kit, but it has not arrived so I took a pool sample to Leslies. Not something I want to do, but only thing I could do. Here are the results for a 27,000 gallon pool. FC - 0.35 TC - 2.11 PH - 7.5 TA - 55 CH - 179 CYA - 90...

Hello, My name is Jim and I just bought a house that has a very nice pool. It is about 35 feet by 18 feet. I do not want to use a pool person, so I am going to fast track myself on learning pool chemistry. I'm sure I will be doing lots of post and look forward to all the repsonses. Thank you.
