GEE - thanks. Is Dave still in charge? (I'm not ******** - I just haven't been around in a number of years)

Great analysis!

A good idea is to keep the acid mix (if you have a dedicated container) :)

Welcome to TFP!! You're doing a good job of identifying the leak. :) & thanx for the pics. If, as you say, the leak is lessened by running the pump - you have a suction side leak (skimmers or MDs) Do you get 'extra' air in the pump housing after a few minutes of running the pump? Have you...

Welcome to TFP!! It sounds like your deck 'heaved' and pushed in on the top of the wall, thereby cracking it. :x To me, this suggests a 'surface ground water' issue that would probably be corrected by installing a curtain drain in the afflicted area. As for repairing the damage already done...

If you're gonna order it yourself, PLEASE be sure of all your measurements BEFORE you order it! Installing a liner for the first time is enough of a challenge without having to deal with all the hassles of an incorrectly sized liner. Though I never got around to writing the DIY liner drop post...

Hi Sandy, welcome to TFP!! I built and serviced pools in Ct. for 10 years (2001 -2010, Waterbury area based but had accounts in Winsted, Mystic and Fairfield & all in between) The price is reasonable, even the stamped crete. I also think you'll be wanting a larger deck, at least in certain...

Welcome to TFP!! Replacing steps in an existing pool can be a nightmare! (this I know from having done it ~ 20 times) There is a lot involved in the change-out and it can be very labor intensive and require tools and equipment that most homeowners don't have. However, let's discuss this and see...

Hey, Thinkly :wave: While I don't want to tell you the FNS is failing, I would certainly change the wing-nut and address/ fix the band's rust. If you had a low pH issue last season, I'd say that it exasperated the issue - and keep better control of your pH this season :wink: I am never...

You are leaking from that 1/2 union! Either the o-ring has gone bad or the union is broken or has backed off. :( I think this is something you can fix/ establish the cause of yourself. If you don't have a wrench that will allow you to tighten or loosen the union, you can use a belt (like...

Welcome to TFP!! Looking good! 8-)

Their spouses HATE it :lol: :oops:

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! :cheers: :party: :whoot: :lovetfp:

Hey, sorry for the delay :( Having the F/A ~ 1/8" behind the wall's finished level is good. It will allow you to 'pack' in the hydrolic cement and still leave room for the new Diamond Brite. Getting a return inlet that has a 'flange' would cover the dimple in the wall. 8-) Please keep in...
