Also make sure the booster pump is set to the voltage you have running everything. I installed our new one a couple months ago and it came preset to 110v which our system is running on 220v. Generally there is a sticker or something on the unit that states the preset voltage but this particular...

Not once or twice but several times. The last 3 yrs I've taken care of it with zero problems as my dad was ill, now gone. The pic I posted above is nothing to what it is now, looks like the exxon valdez parked in it. Very thick, very soupy, can't see the bottom anywhere, and even the steps are...

Prior to the pump crashing I chlorined the @#%& out of it along with shocking, no help...

Pool size approx 24k gal in ground, 1 1/2hp pump, sand filter, gunnite pool surface. Lets just say the creature from the black lagoon wouldn't set foot in this sucker! Chlorine is ineffective at this point as the ph is waaaayyyy off. You can't even see the bottom in the shallow end. It also...

Well figured out where the water went. My mom was adding a little water via a garden hose. The hose somehow fell into the pool and she didn't notice it had when she turned the water off and disconnected the hose in the pool from another hose, and there you go, syphoned all nite! However comma...

The water never made it down to the old returns which are about 2 -3 inches lower than the new ones. My dad did all this many years ago and unfortunately he passed away last year so I'm kinda winging it on what all was done.

The water level has not dropped below the returns. But, at one return (see pic below) the water level stopped right at the top of the elbow. Now a couple days ago this area would bubble like crazy until you lifted it up just abit, then set it back down. Then the bubbling would cease. To...

Well I've watched it all day, hasn't leaked any further, just the 8+ inches overnite which we turned the pump off at approx. 10pm and my mom didn't notice the low level till around 10am this morning so roughly 8 inches in 12 hrs. So based on what I've read and some basic laws of physics, the...

Hi and thanks for the responses. Have checked all mentioned thusfar, no leaks evident.

hello all, first post on this board. :-D Now down to brass tacks. My mom has an inground pool, approx. 20k gal, built in 1985. The last couple days I noticed it getting greenish so applied proper chemicals to readjust and clear it up, however to no avail, just got darker and darker green...
