Finally got the picture to attach! I took this picture last night. The diameter is 2 1/4". Thanks!

Thanks for your reply! I'm sorry, but I am not sure what you mean by plaster? Could I maybe put an eyeball fitting on the inside with a pvc cap on the outside? Or would that not seal it good enough?

There was a leak in the pool near the area of the light. I couldn't figure out exactly where so I attempted to remove the light. The light did not want to cooperate and I ended up trying to pry it off with a screwdriver. That didn't work so I got my husband to saw it off. Obviously it won't be...

Thanks for the replies! That is exactly the part that I was worrying about. The pool was initially installed by someone else, but after 6 years the pump died and we replaced it ourselves. Hooking up the motor WAS pretty easy! I am not familiar with this wiring stuff, however. When the pump was...

Our pump went out and we had to replace it. My husband took off the old one and hooked the new one into the plumbing. He did it as soon as we got it, and said it was amazingly easy, but then stated I needed to read the manual because there was something about grounding in there and he didn't...

The pressure gauge broke a couple of years ago and I never replaced it. When it worked it stayed fogged up a lot so it was hard to see. I have been just feeling the water coming out of the jet to determine when to backwash. Should I replace the gauge? I changed the hose because it had...

Thanks for the reply! I haven't noticed anything different about the pressure of the water into the pool, but I just replaced the hose from the pump to the filter and the hose expanded by at least18 inches when I turned the pump on. It was a high pressure hose and can expand a little, but it...

For unknown reasons my jet is now facing a different direction. How could this happen? No one touched it. Thanks!

Ok. Thanks!

The hose from my pump to my filter developed a hole, so I bought a new one. The three foot hose turned into a 5 foot hose when I turned on the pump. The pressure stretched it out. I went back and bought what was supposed to be a high pressure hose that I was assured would not expand, and was...

i think I have a leak in my pool. I have a bottom drain. Can I close the skimmer valve and run the pump using only the bottom drain while I watch the water fall to find the leak? Thanks as always for help!

Thanks for the responses! The next wet spell has already occurred. Nice little tornado warning and inch of rain within 30 minutes. Hopefully my CYA has gone down! Regarding raising the pH and TA, I want to make sure I understand correctly. When I went to the pool calculator to see how much I...

I have not needed help with my pool chemistry in a long time because of the great people here! I thought I was well educated on pool chemistry, but this is all new to me. We installed a new pool liner in May and the chemicals were balanced. Then...we have only been swimming once in the past...

I found this thread while searching for my problem...I have the seams. Some are small, but one is a very big dip. About 4 inches wide. We just paid a lot of money to have our liner replaced because of termites and ants destroying the cove. We had our pest control people spray the area, then put...
