Hi all, Happy summer!!! I'd like to ask for recommendations for product to seal the surrounding of the skimmer. There is some leakage around the skimmer area. I notice that water level drop to about 1-2cm above the bottom line of the skimmer and stay there. The leakage has happened before...

Thank you, Richard! The flapper is on the other side of the door which keep water from entering in the skimmer. My husband said the pump has some problems. I logged on this forum and had this post before we calls any pool maintenance company. Money saved!!!!!

Hi, There are some problems with the pool circulation. Hope experts here could help me diagnose the problem. Thanks! So.. The problem is: When the pump is running, I notice that there is no water flow at the skimmer that has the float valve. But when the pump just started running, I saw the...

ha~~~ just saw that little guy. OK. Probably I will need to ask a pool tech to check that area. Thanks!!!

I forgot to mention that there is still water in the skimmer basket. The water is actually over the basket upper edge. Does that exclude the leak in pipe between skimmer and pump?

Hi, everyone, I notice the leak since this summer. It seems to get more severely recently. Hope I can get some advice here and fix the problem. I close the pump, leave every ins and outs as usual, did not add the water since 12/9. In the first three days (till 12/12), the water leaks from the...

OK. I am going to test the water again today (There was rain yesterday). Will adjust both PH by MA and FC.

Thank you very much,. I just changed my typo in signature. It s 14,000 gallons. As soon as I get the more advanced test kit, I will test the CYA level to get more accurate information about how much chemical I need.
