I’ve used the Hayward 6060 booster pump for many years with our Polaris 280 cleaner. It is pretty quiet and works perfectly with the 280. It wasn’t difficult to install myself.

So true. ☹️

Yep, we certainly can’t complain about how long the liner lasted. I’m sure keeping tight control of the chems per practices taught here has helped. 👍

I discovered a few holes in the liner between the coping and the water line at a 45° corner. Does this look like insect damage or just the liner wearing out from age (the liner was installed in March 2004)? The rest of the liner seems fine and doesn’t feel brittle. I put a patch over the...

Last fall we replaced the old tarp cover with a new one, so today’s opening was much better.

Last year at opening. Yikes! Second pic is 24 hrs later. Much better! Apparently, the old tarp cover was on its last leg and acted like a big tea bag letting all the leaf tannins through.

Same here in SE VA.

Believe me, it’s a good thing in this case! 😁

Update: It’s working normally now. 😀👍

Thanks, Matt. 😃 I appreciate the tip to use Lysol cleaner. I’ll probably pick some up for regular maintenance to keep scaling at bay going forward. After several hours of soaking in CLR and quite a bit of mechanically chipping out, I think I got the siphon and rim jets cleared. It appears to...

We have a toilet that flushes too slowly. A quick search online and some simple diagnostics revealed the siphon jet at the bottom of the bowl and rim jets under the rim are clogged with mineral buildup (the siphon jet at the bottom of the bowl is almost completely blocked!). I’m in the process...

I ended up doing nothing. So far the actual functionality hasn’t been affected.

It’s the CYA test gods mocking us! 😆

We saw a bunch of eclipses!

Ooh, there’s gonna be a smackdown between you and Neil if he hears you say that! 😆

I would perform an OCLT to rule out something in the water consuming more chlorine than normal before replacing the cell.

I tweaked it for you ”The truth is. People are out there.” ;)

I wish it was only $3.99 here! Last I looked it was about double that here. :cry:

Compared to others, that’s still a great price. 😀

I‘m sure it helped that it’s just the two of us, so it doesn’t get used as much as it would with a family with kids. But yeah, we really can’t complain.

Reminds me of a place were we vacationed once in the 70’s when we lived in Turkey. The beach resort had a pool they filled with water from the sea each morning, then drained it back into the sea each evening. Now that’s a real saltwater pool! 😁👍

We have a 33 year old Amana washing machine that, until now, has only needed one repair 11 years ago (replaced the timer unit). Recently, the tub stopped draining. In researching parts, I discovered this machine is actually an old Speed Queen model with Amana’s name slapped on it. The bad...

Your decimal is in the wrong place.
