I have never run into a pool light I could not get a new gasket for. The fixture may be obsolete, but they make the gaskets for many years.

It sounds like you may have a leak in the light conduit...

I would have no way to even guess without a bunch more information. That is like asking how much does it cost to build a house. Too many variables and not nearly enough information.

I would like to help you but need a little more information. What kind of timer are you trying to use, and are you feeding the timer with 110v or 220v from the breaker panel? Do you have a neutral...

Well, if it is sand it will look exactly like sand. To be precise it will look like #20 silica sand which is fairly large grains. What you are describing sounds more like algae and dead algae to...

Just keep in mind you are playing "You bet your Life" so how you handle this is certainly your choice. If you are not comfortable with changing out the GFCI and checking all the wire connections, I...

My guess is you have an actual ground fault within the spa. The GFI is sensing this fault, and doing what it was designed to do. The comment about "getting a little shock" is of great concern. ...

Congratulations on your restoration project, sounds like fun to me.

One of the expenses of building a new pool is the hole in the ground, and you have that. It is now a common practice for pool...

I own a pool & spa service company, and we always put all of the chemicals in at the same time. It would be less than cost effective for us to hit every service stop more than once in the same day. ...

Not sure I understand what you are asking, but if you go to http://www.swimmingpooltimeswitch.com/CD-104P-201.html they have the wiring diagram for your timer. If you look at the wiring diagram and...

Just a question, but do you have a valve to regulate the flow from the deep line and the skimmer? There can only be one pipe going into the suction intake on the pump, so these two pipes have to...

I don't deal in or work on above ground pools, but a pump is a pump. Other than for minor impeller wear, a pump usually pumps the same amount of water over the entire lifespan of the pump. The most...

This is usually a fairly simple repair. You can get a new valve at most any big box or hardware store. They were really meant to fit in toilet tanks. You will need to find the supply line to the...

Not sure this will apply to your problem, but when we replace end cuffs on our vac hoses we use silicone on the hose before we screw the cuffs onto the hose. Then we lay them out and let the...

Thanks for the response. The other 3 panels appear to be much newer than this main entrance panel, which is mounted on a pole out in the middle of the yard. All 4 breakers in this box are Murray...

I have a main entrance panel that is fed by an overhead line, which then branches to 4 sub panels which are fed underground. There are only 4 double pole breakers in this panel.
One of the breakers...

Local codes vary greatly depending what community you live in. It is always best to check with the department that issues the permits or you can make some very expensive mistakes. There are also...

Sounds like you do it right. Water balance is everything when it comes to maintaining your pool. Once it gets away from you it can be an expensive bear to get back in shape. Just remember it takes...

I have been servicing pools for 23 years, and have never heard of having to run any pool 24/7 other than commercial pools. Average summertime run is 8 hours per day, and less in the winter. The...

I would doubt this pool would withstand freezing temperatures for very long. I would suggest contacting Intex and asking their opinion. Most pools in freezing climates are drained and the equipment...

I agree with the previous comment. If you do anything yourself you relieve the installer of any liability and it sounds like they did not finish their job.

Without knowing all the test results on your water, it is almost impossible to tell what you need to do. You need to know the following: Total Dissolved Solids, Calcium Hardness, Total Alkalinity,...

It sounds like a short in the wiring, something getting wet, a loose connection, or any number of possibilities. I would not use it until this condition is repaired. Electricity and water do not...

I'm not in Spruce Grove and couldn't do it for you anyhow. Any electrician will need a great deal more information to answer your question.
Does it require any trench work?
What is the distance...

The bubbles would indicate a suction leak which could be, low water level in the pool, a bad pump lid "0" ring, a leaking shaft seal, or a leak in the suction line. The first thing to look at is...

Could be any number of things. You are going to need to use a Volt/Ohm meter to find the problem. It could be as simple as a bad start capacitor on the motor. Let me know if you have a VOM and I...

They make replacement cuffs for the vac hoses. You just cut the old one off, then use silicone or something equivalent as a sealer/glue, and screw the new cuff on the hose. It won't last forever,...

You need to check your local electrical code on this. Normally a spa needs its' own GFCI type breaker and be run from the main or a sub panel. Because of the mix of electricity and water, you need...

Unfortunately there is no way with the pool full of water.

That is not code but is probably the same thing I would do at my own home. Anytime there is water and electricity in combination, a gfci is required by NEC and most local building codes, but if you...

I have never heard of or seen a skimmer gasket on a gunite pool? Wish I could help but have no idea what you are referring to.

The only for sure way to tell is to pressure test the skimmer line. This is a quick test and should not cost much to have a leak detection company do this for you. They can also pinpoint the leak...

Best thing to do is go to hardware store and buy a new Korky float valve, same as the one for a toilet. Turn of the water supply to the auto-fill, unscrew the old float, screw in and adjust the new...

If this is an inground pool/spa combination with the spa being slightly higher than the pool, you have a check valve in the spa return line that is sticking or worn out.

Filter pressure is measuring the total resistance to flow. A higher than normal pressure normally indicates the filter is getting dirty, needs service, or in the case of a cartridge filter the...

Are you getting air bubbles going back to the pool returns? If so, it sounds like you have a suction leak. Check the pump lid "0" ring and make sure it is clean, not flat or cracked, and sitting in...

Also make sure the rubber "0" ring on the lid is clean and sitting in the groove like it should be.

It sounds like you just lost the prime in the pump when you took the lid off to empty the basket. Try filling the pump pot with a bucket of water or a garden hose. Then put the lid back on and...

Because you have tried two different gfci outlets and they both do the same thing, I would guess the gfci is sensing a minor ground fault in the motor and doing what it is supposed to do. Finding...

I would need a great deal more information to help you with this. Have you had your water tested for chlorine and ph levels? What kind of filter do you have and how many hours per day do you run...

Most 230 Volt Pool Motors will have just three connections. One hot wire to L1, the other to L2, and the green wire goes to the ground connection. These will usually be both black or both red...

I need to replace a Honeywell T841A1001 thermostat on a heat pump, and of course they do not make this one anymore.

The old thermostat wiring was as follows"

R = Red
O = Orange
G = Green
Y =...
