    Hello! The cement/adhesive between our coping is starting to chip and crack. Any advice on how to repair and what to buy? Thanks!

    Chloromax Texhnology?

    I bought like 16 boxes of Clorox bleach at Costco at the beginning of the season to shock the pool and supplement chlorine until I could get my SWG working. Once I saw this whole Chloromax issue I returned it all but I had to plead my case because they didn’t want to take it all back…think they...

    Air bubbles from old filter cartridge?

    SO I've read up on tons of information on all the causes of air bubbles in the returns and have done trouble shooting and everything that is suggested- skimmers, doors, o rings, drains, etc. Still no help. I am to the point where I have to consider the disaster of checking the underground...

    Can an inground pool settle?

    Well I measured the water level all around the pool and it's pretty even. It's only in the skimmers where it us uneven...so I suspect poor workmanship when they installed the pool that they didn't make sure the 2 skimmers were at the right height. Thanks all.

    Can an inground pool settle?

    The water level in my skimmers, which are on opposite ends of the pool, are different. I think they were always slightly different, and it may be my imagination, but I feel the difference between them has increased. When the level is perfect in one skimmer its on the high side in the other, and...

    Air bubbles from old filter cartridge?

    Thanks for the advice. I know the water level is fine I checked that already. I already checked the O ring too and re-lubed it just in case but that seal seems pretty tight. The doors seem to be opening and closing properly on casual inspection but I will take a closer look tonight. The pump...

    Air bubbles from old filter cartridge?

    They are 6 years old- life of the pool. Even with cleaning they are discolored but no sign of damage. Pressure is only at 10-15 but I have the pump running low at 24 GPM's since I run it 24 hours/day. When I open the pressure valve and leave it open until water starts coming out then the bubbles...

    Air bubbles from old filter cartridge?

    Hi all. Getting air bubbles in my pool- researched all the possibilities. However my filter cartridges are overdue for replacing, which I am doing this weekend. My pool guy insists that this can be a cause of air bubbles- I've looked online to confirm this and can not find this anywhere. Once I...

    Anybody ever see this!

    I have the nature2 Fusion soft salt water generator for about four years now. I replace the salt cell at the beginning of the summer about four months ago. Have been working fine all summer then this week started showing an error code I went to take a look and this is what I found. Essentially...

    new hot tub owner- a few chemical quesitons...

    I have another question: can I use liquid stabilizer instead of dry CYA? It's not cost effective for a large pool but I imagine a gallon of the stuff will go a long way for the hot tub and be a lot easier to add.
