Thanks, I keep putting in the acid.

Ok, got the Heater fully plumbed in and working last Thursday, Got the leak fixed last Friday, there was a leak from a crack in the grout at the skimmer. I was dumping about 3/4 of inch a day into the ground. Now my pool holds water at all levels. : :whoot: :party: So doing pool school...

Going to get the SWG running today, there had been a leak in the pool, so I never got them to start up the SWG. I just kept adding chlorine in myself. The leak was dumping about 3/4 inch out of the pool in 24 hours. It was finally found and fixed last Friday. Grout crack next to skimmer...

The situation, every 3 days my PH is reading above 8.2. So I lower it with Muriatic Acid. It like shoots up in a couple of days. Put water in the pool on August 6th. Its now been 2 months and I just can't keep the PH down. I add 4 cups of the acid and the PH will be down to 7.2. The TA is...

The PB said he would switch it over to salt, but that be 30 days after putting water in the pool. He told me to brush the pool everyday for the first week and regularly after the first week. That if we wanted we could throw a couple of pucks in to the skimmer if we were worried about it...

Ok, here is the situation. My pool was filled with water on Aug 6th. Since then my PB said, "I have done two small shocks to the pool." when we asked about chlorine. Since then, we locked our gate, so we know he hasn't been back to the pool since we locked it. He said when they start up the...

Re: Small Gunite pool in Houston pics from dig to decking Ok, so its 8/17/2013, just a little over a month since they started that morning digging up my yard. Here are some pictures of the pool and yard. All that is left is getting the gas connected, caulking between deck and...

I would like to see more pics of this build! Thanks. Nice.

Re: Small Gunite pool in Houston pics from dig to decking So as your aware we had them redo the sealant on the concrete. It has bubbles again. Here are some pics of them. What kinda of problem can this cause?
