Thank you for this video! I've watched many videos tonight and yours was the only one that explained WHY - what needs to happen under the different circumstances. I'm trying the one that seems to fit mine tomorrow and see if I can get my pool clear finally.

one word, thanks!!

Saved me money was looking up pumps and decided to check you tive for a second time by looking up the humming nose. I had a different pump with a fan but just turn the fan and clean around and it worked five minutes later. Faster to fix then watching the video.

Female here, trying to work miracles in an old house that keeps breaking down. Going to try this, pray for me lol! Thank you!

Messed with my pump for 4 hours and couldn’t figure it out. Watched this video and had it running in 10 minutes. Many thank yous!

Thank you sir!

I was ready to replace my motor then saw your video, thank you it works great again

Have you got anything up-to-date from 2024?

You make a lot of sense

I’m 8 years too late; the PDF is no longer available!

Great video...we are considering doing this as the finally of our back yard reno project. Very informative with all the right information taking the right amount of time to explain. Made aware of things I hadn't even considered. Thanks for taking the time to put this together.

Thank you 😊

Will it work for any pool pump, I have in ground

How much Chemicals go in a 18x33 pool above ground

Thank you for this video! You answered all my questions. ❤

I wish you would come to savannah ga. And set up a pool maintenance and repair company only the rich get served AND THEY DONT EVEN DEAL WITH ABOVE GROUD OVALS

Could I use the creepy crawler to clean the water

Mine turned cloudy within a half hour after triple shocking

There is no good pool service in Savannah, Georgia. Unless you're rich and white

The best info 💯

What if your salt levels are good but the inspect cell is solid yellow and check salt is solid red ? Is it time for a new salt cell?

What system would you use with a fibreglass pool

I was able to turn the shaft just fine… my motor is just humming as well. I think it tried to turn on this morning because I have it on a timer. The motor was super hot shut it off for a couple of hours. Doesn’t smell like burnt or anything. But it didn’t work for me. Any other suggestions??!

Any comments on uv light systems?

Do you have to fill the pool With water before the slurry mix goes down so it doesn’t push out ?

I do not regularly use Magic Lube II, but I often use Magic Lube, which is a Teflon based lubricant and absolutely do not do that with original magic lube, it will cause the threads to catch and jerk as you unthread it. If you do get sloppy with the original magic lube a rag with some WD-40 will remove it very effectively.

Hi there - wanted to just add a quick comment - this fix saved me.....temporarily but at the end of the day it turned out it was my capacitor that was the problem. I unfortunately was not able to diagnose this myself and paid way too much to have it fixed but you can get a replacement capacitor for about $13 on amazon and it's pretty much like changing a battery. There are also videos out there on how to do it. Just flagging in case someone else finds this fix works but doesn't fix it completely. If I knew it would have saved me a lot of money. The pool store people charged me $60 for the part and $90 for the labor. I get they have to make money so I'm not shaming but if you are eager to save money it can easily be DIY. Apparently extreme heat can cause capacitors to blow pretty easily.

Do you have your switch to on already right when you plug it in to get the boost it needs?

1st time replacing liner in pool and found a lot of your videos very helpful! Honestly every time I got stuck you had a video explaining how to proceed and I appreciate it!

THANK YOU !!! THIS REALLY WORKED YOU HAVE SAVED US BIGTIME !!! I WAS ALREADY LOOKING FOR A REPLACEMENT ONLINE AND RAN ACROSS THIS VIDEO !!! TRIED YOU ADVICE AND PRESTO IT WORKED !!! UNBELIEVABLE !!!

The diagram you use as the cover for the video shows the wall foam behind the foam cove. Is this the preferred configuration? The foam cove in this case is therefore adhered to the wall foam and not the pool wall itself. Would it be acceptable to install by first installing the floor pad, then the cove (over the floor pad and adhered to the pool wall, and then finally the wall foam, allowing it to drape down on top of the foam cove? Two disadvantages I can imagine with this approach are that it might make installation of the wall foam more challenging and the bottom edge of the wall foam might end up in the middle of the sloped surface of the cove, making a less clean looking installation.

Hi Chad, do you still have the Video on how to install an oval above ground pool ? I was a subscriber on your easy pool Acadamy but cant find it any more?

Too dangerous. Cheaper to get a new pump.

Thank you. Was about to hammer and chisel this thing out!

You hope this helps out? Yes, yes, a thousand times yes! My only quibble is with the statement that salt systems don't raise pH levels. As an owner of one, I can emphatically say that they absolutely do raise pH levels. You definitely have to regularly add dry acid or muriatic acid to bring pH levels down.

Good video!

thank you

Instead of putting pliers on the plastic threads. Look inside you will see two slots. Those are used for tightening and loosening the inside piece.

For some reason I thought this was recent, never bother to look at dates. Anyway, this is the idea my wife saw on Pinterest and was telling me about on our upcoming pool install, no no no... you can't do that.. We'll I was completely wrong and glad I am. Our deck is 6 inches higher than the pool will be so this is a perfect idea to blend the two. Also, this guy is a born teacher, I agree with the others he should be teaching all forms of math. Very impressed.

Worked like a charm…thanks so much for this video.

Great Channel and sand filter above ground pool won’t vacuum & need help Thank You in advance for your time and consideration and support Y’all are amazing

But oval take less space don't it

Can i contact you to install mine? Im in georgia

My motor quit while trying to backwash the pool. I just had a humming noise. Your trick was enough to get it going. The temps are 90 plus and I’m waiting for a new motor. You saved me! Thank you so much!!

What about ground water? I did a semi install and I'm getting liner floating issues now.

My dad said he had a level . He didn't. We filled the pool last night , it's atleast 6 inches different. How can I fix this with water in it? I saw something about using a car jack and blocks

8 years later still saving us money

My pump was nothing like this. But this help me figure out what the problem was and solve it in less than five minutes. Super helpful!

Hey Chad, I know this is almost a decade old, but here's the skinny... We are dropping our 24' round AGP maybe at the most 2.5' into the southern Ohio clay/Pennsylvanian clay. Aside from that, we have the 73" exp liner, and are installing all hard-lined plumbing with main drain in the deep center (2' ledge all the way around then itll slope down to a 4' flat in the center). Making it a more permanent fixture and staying clear of $50K pool we will end up seling with the land in the fufture. My main concerns, and Ill also email this to you if I can, telegram or smoke signals, et... 1. pump placement and its level in relation to the dropped pool, will it have to be dropped too,, I mean as far as the pool is? 2. will the sand be workable on a slope like this or is there a different approach here? 3. will I need to install at least a french drain around the rear of the hole for drdainage, and would a product like a metallic mobile home roof sealant be of any use to prolong use or prevent rust issuse (painting the lower portions of the pool with it that will be buried?)?Thanks Scott
