:) I just realized I answered my question. The deck is not suppose to slope, I never really thought about it. How did go about lifting it?

Thanks, it is hard form me to tell if its sunk in the back, deck is on a slope down from this photo. B

New to owning pools, bought house that had one that was severly neglected for years. There is a gap running between the pool tiles and the cement coping. It runs about 1/2 the length of the pool and 1/2 inch at its thickest. Not sure if this is something I can fix with the pool open and full? 2...

This was a post in reply to another post- It was moved here so there is a lot of context missing. I will close.

So right now the pools doing pretty good, would you recommend SLAM at this point in the summer or wait until next spring. I didnt realize you could use the pool during the process but that actually makes sense. I planned on doing SLAM next spring. I did "shock" by adding a container of liquid...

(see photo) The timer on my pool isnt working, I just moved in this year and havent needed the timer, but just noticed the gears are not turning on it. I look at some images, videos on wiring and then looked at mine(didn't remove the cover) But the wires I can see don't match up with what I...

Im new as well and had a similar issue this year, I didn't drain the entire pool, I drained a few inches a day until I noticed the numbers stabilize after adding chlorine. I use both, strip and the Taylor kit. The strips for me are fine in knowing when its probably safe to get back in the pool...

My pool has two lights, spa and pool side. The pool side light comes on about 20% of the time when I flick the switch. When It does come on I notice the spa light blinks quickly. What might cause this behavior? I really cant understand why the light comes on sometimes and not always when...

Its a Hayward , 3450RPM I had been backwashing but yesterday I vacuumed with probably a week in-between. I will try giving a longer backwash and rinse and see if the dirt comes back into pool. Not sure if it was immediate, I was vacumming for some time and noticed the spa area was getting very...

I've been dealing with glass in the pool. I haven't taken the filter apart yet to inspect the laterals. I do have a question. The previous owner of this filter/house put glass media in a sand filter Hayward s210t. When looking at the glass in the pool it is very fine and i'm wondering if that...

I bought a house with an inground pool, it has a Hayward s210t multivalve. I had a local man open my pool, he was the same person the previous owner had open and close it. I am also 100% sure the previous owner did nothing to maintain the pool for a year outside of open and close it. He only...
