Thanks Jason. I let it sit a week and I am still less than the 30 reading on the taylor test, meaning I can still see the dot with the water to the top. I will use the pool calculator to see how much it will add and may float one or two to get to 30 ppm. There isn't anything else in them that...

Here is a picture with an arrow pointing to the leak

I thought I had the air leak figured out when I found a crack in the lid, but once I replaced the lid, air is still entering the pump. When I troubleshot it and turned off the pump, I saw water leaking on the underside of the pipe that enters into the pump from the pool. How should I go about...

After draining and filling my pool, I added one bottle of CYA. I am at about 20 ppm where I'd like to be around 30. Would it be okay to use some left over tabs to raise the CYA levels? Is there anything else in them I need to be worried about? They are high quality diamond pool tabs. How many...

As you can see I have a few areas that need repairing. Any thoughts on the best way to repair 1&3 and 2? For 1&3 is there a kool deck repair product that will match? For 2, I saw E-Z Patch #6, which seems like it is exactly what I am looking for. Are there any other products that you know...

Dave, Thank you. I asked my wife who is home today to check and see if it lays flat. She said it wobbles slightly, but did notice a crack in the waterfall lid. I am hoping a new one fixes that one. Haven't gotten a response about the pool pump lid yet. One more question, would it matter if...

Dave, First pump is pool pump. No detectable leaks. When I turn on the pump there is minimal amount of water in pump. Once it is running for a few seconds, water fills to the top and there are no air bubbles in the pump. However, once I turn it off a little water leaks from under the lid and...

Thank you, Dave. It seems both pumps are the same way...When the water feature one turns off, it splashes water out under the lid. When the pool pump turns off, it leaks water from under the lid. No water leaks when the pump is running. There are also no air bubbles and the water is solid...

Sargent, with yours you are saying to have the t vertival and cut above the valves? I like that as it seems to save length of pipe coming out the ground.

So you are thinking cutting below the two valves and adding the neverlube at the tee? Would I ever have to worry about if the pipes need repairing under it that I will not have any more space before I hit the ground? Sargent, I think that is what Jason was saying. Thank you

Do you know if on a Hayward it does? If so, can I switch where the flow switch and cell are, and put the filter a few inches after the cell, thus creating more than 12" of straight pipe (including the cell which is approx 13")? Nevermind, the manual says the cell can count as the straight...

What would cause air in my pump when it turns off? I think I probably have a gap between the gasket and the lid as when the pump turns off a little water comes out. I am thinking this lets air in...I tried lubing the gasket and tightening the lid hard, but it seems every time the pump turns on...

Do I have to worry about any air or eddies forming with the tight turns? Should I use a 45 of the main return valve, or would a 90 be okay like seen below?

I am uploading more pics of the setup. I believe I am going to remove the backwash and put a new one on and rotate the filter. Question, if I remove the valves instead and install a jandy neverlube, I am assuming I will need one for the pool return and one for the aerator, correct? For the...

Thank you. A lot to think about. I may have a few more questions after looking at it tonight.
