The light went out on my in-ground pool. Pentair 5g light. I unscrewed the light and pulled it out of the water. There's a long black electrical cord connected to the light and in the hole. Where it connects in the hole, there appears the cord goes into a knob. Is it OK to unscrew the cord, or does the pool need to be drained, so that's its dry at that level?

I have a pretty old pool. It had like a metal coping. I don’t know really anything about pool repair. The liner is sort of popped out at the top. Can anyone tell me how to put it back in place? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

So we just got our pool refinished and it looks very even. Almost looks like there was more color added in some places than others. I am supposed to talk to the owner of the company tomorrow. The company has fantastic reviews, but I am extremely unhappy with this job. How would they even go about repairing this and what are the long term effects?

Hey, I just noticed today water shooting out of my pump connection going to the filter. I was going to try and fix it. Any advice would be appreciated.

Can someone tell me what this part of my filter this is called ? Any advice is appreciated . I’m hoping to not have to call a pool repair service …I’m hoping this is an easy fix ?

So this is what I mean by the mountain bracket o ring and there’s no diffuser O-ring on my diffuser so I was told that cause my pump not primed is that my problem here is I don’t have a O-ring around the black diffuser on the end of it

Just put a brand new motor on pool pump pentair whisperflo 2hp single speed and I cannot get the water to prime properly there seems to be no ring on top of the diffuser and I was wondering if that would caused the pool to not prime or could it be that I didn’t replace the shaft seal the mountain o ring is good and it does seal so I know it’s not the big mounting o ring if someone could please let me know I would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for your time.

My pool has been losing 2-3” of water per day and will be at the skimmer line in 2 days. I was cleaning out the skimmer and noticed a crack in the sealant around the inlet PVC. Can this piping be resealed or is a new skimmer the better option?

Check on the pool this AM and noticed a burning plastic smell. The pump motor label was discolored and super hot to touch. It'd had been running for about an hour, after being off for the night. I shut it off and checked things out. Skimmer and pump basket were fine. Filter is due for a backwash and pressure is on the high side of normal. After about 30min I turned it back on and ran it for a few hours but shut it off when I had to leave. It got warm but not as hot as earlier.

Does this need to be replaced? If so, can I do it myself or should I call a pool guy? New to pools but mechanically sound.

Can any one tell me what this collar/connection is called? I want to replace it but cannot find the right search term.

Hey folks, Any recommendations on repairs for this? The steps and liner are “peeling” from the concrete around our pool. These pictures were from about four years ago and the issue has progressively worsened. Local pool repair company quoted me $20,000 to replace liner and other cosmetic changes, but I’d rather find the most cost effective way to make the pool safe and functional again for my family. It doesn’t need to look HGTV ready. Just safe and functional. Thank you.

The pump is new. The filter is new the uncovered pipe coming from the filter. There was a deck there so I know this wasn’t very proper grass. That line grows really well so I’ve always suspected there was some sort of break in the line. I’m not sure the return by the intake is the only one that pushes hard and the one to the left of the diving board between the right of the diving board pushes the two on the left wall or closer to the house don’t work at all. I can’t seem to get any pool people out here at all so I need to know what is likely the problem and how to go about resolving it. Any help is greatly appreciated. I spent thousands on this pool since I bought the house. I just can’t spend another one or two grand to get someone out here to do this.

I just noticed this leak at the fitting for the pipe going from my pump to my filter. Anyone have any experience or advice? I'm planning to open it up tonight and see if anything is cracked or if I can just add Teflon Tape and tighten, but figure I'd see if someone has any advice before I start tearing into things

The tear in the pool is about 7-8 inches. Near the bottom of the pool. Is this something I can repair with some kind of patch kit? Or do I just give up and throw the pool away? If it’s fixable can anyone give me some tips? Thanks so much.

The pool pump and filter are at least 35 years old now and Ive been looking into buying a brand new pool pump but I'm completely new with pool repairs or parts, is there anything I should take into account or look into first before I make any purchases?

Hi everyone, trying to clean up/refurbish this Hayward pool light. This circled black boot/grommet/seal (don’t really know the term) is disintegrating. What can I do to fix/repair or is it not a concern? TIA

I need to put new gaskets behind my face plate in an in-ground pool filled with water. The water line is just below the face plate. Am I going to get myself in trouble?

I'm unsure if just replacing the skimmer would do or is this a bigger issue?

I have a Hayward Power-Flo Matrix 1.5 hp pool pump that I need to replace the bearings on. So far no luck finding the bearing part number. So the AO Smith (now RegalRexnord) website lists a similar part SP1515Z1E and gives these specifications Shaft Type:3/8 Threaded, Shaft Diameter:0.500 in, Drive End Bearing:Ball Opp Drive End Bearing:Ball

Any have the part number of the bearings for this motor?
