Somebody destroyed the original 3/8” threads on this pool autofill, so instead of breaking concrete and replacing the whole thing, I stepped it up to 1/2” and installed a permanent brass reducing bushing. Now future float valve replacements thread into brass instead of PVC. Little repair that could save you a massive headache. #poolrepair #poolservice #poolautofill #poolplumbing #swimmingpool

This pool had a circulation problem, and the old undersized DE filter was part of the restriction. There are three main pool filter types: sand, cartridge, and DE. They all have pros and cons, and the right choice depends on the pool, plumbing, maintenance, and overall system design. For this one, we went with the AquaStar Pipeline cartridge filter, kept the plumbing as smooth as possible, and tried to avoid adding unnecessary restriction. We also reinstalled the automation water-temp sensor, which tells the system the actual pool temperature so it knows when to call for heat. If we still want more flow after this, the next step is a heater bypass to reduce restriction through the heat exchanger when the heater isn’t needed for heat. #poolrepair #poolplumbing #swimmingpool @Aquastar Pool Products

Quick installer tip: don’t rely on an old swollen light cord to pull the new one. Tie on a pull string instead less friction and a much easier pull. Upgraded this older pool and spa with Jandy WaterColors RGBW LED lights. Dedicated white LED for a cleaner white, plus nine colors and five light shows. They’re also designed to fit many existing Jandy, Pentair, and Hayward niches, making them a solid retrofit option for older pools. #poollights #dropinajandy #swimmingpool #backyardvibes
