Pictured is the set up of the pipe that was installed close to the outside water faucet so that I could use a splitter and be able to fill the pool directly when the water is low. Unfortunately it was poorly designed - the angle, height and placement have made it impossible to hook up a a...

Hey TFP - On the side wall of my inground pool, there is a place with a fitting where I screw in the hose to connect the pool cleaner. A couple days ago, I noticed the cleaner hose had disconnected and was just floating in the pool. I have tried to reconnect several times, but as soon as the...

I have a freeform pool with flagstone coping. The patio surrounding 55% of the pool is pavers. There are a few spots around the pool where there is separation between the pavers and coping (pictured below) and I'm not certain what I should use to fill in this gap. Originally I was thinking self...

Posting here b/c I want to tackle the repair this weekend and need details Back story is 4 water line tiles and a chunk of mortar under my flagstone coping came off. When filled to the highest level possible, about 2" of the tile would be submerged. Guidance in the other forum said it's best to...

TFP has never steered me the wrong way so hoping with advice here and my DIY nature I can tackle this myself.... Kids were playing in the pool and 4 pool tiles came completely off. I had noticed they seemed loose but clearly they were more than loose. Two are still connected by a chunk of...

2 local pool supply stores + newly hired pool maintenance = 3 entirely different numbers on CYA. Trying to take control so per guidance here I ordered a Taylor K-2006 complete FAS DPD test kit - - it just arrived so I went and tested. Results: FC 2.4 CC .4 PH 7.6 TA 100 CYA 110 For what it's...

Two summers ago I took over maintaining the pool from my now ex-husband. He was very lazy in his maintenance, so right away I started testing the water weekly and started learning on here. Almost immediately I learned the CYA was too high and the pool was in chlorine lock - - so with help from...

Noticed today the cleaner never came on an the pool isn't circulating. The Pentair app says System Blocked Alarm. On the pump itself, it says clear drain before restarting. Does that mean jumping in with google to see what's going on with the drain? This is the 3rd major item to stop working...

Not sure if this is the right board, but needing some help. Multipart question Part 1: I recently changed out our home wifi router to a new mesh system. I hadn't accessed the pentair app on my phone since this change until tonight. After using a paperclip on the adapter, the iphone app is now...

Newly single mom of 3 on a crash course of learning how to care for our pool - so thanks for the help!! 1. As long as we've had the pool, my Pentair app only opens when I'm on our house Wi-fi under the Local option. If I select Remote, I enter the appropriate code for username but was told by...

Newly single mom here on a crash course of learning all things pool maintenance related (oh, and no child support so trying to manage costs!).... Our pool is 3 years old - never had to change lights thus far. We have 3 lights - one in the hot tub and two in the pool. One of the pool lights is...

We are stumped that our Pentair mobile app shows all these controls for the LED lights including different color scheme settings light Romance, Party, Caribbean, etc. However no matter what we select, nothing changes. When we select the solid color squares and select set or save, nothing still...

Can anyone give some insight on those pool alarms - - the kind that either float in the pool or sit on the side that go off if a person falls in?

We have narrowed down to 2 tiles and have to give the builder final selection the week. Both are by Noble tile. One is shiny and smooth, almost slick like. It's textured, but very glazes so your hand runs easily over it. The other tile, is matte with metallic accents. It's textured, but is a...

Something just doesn't sit right with me in this design. The back corner is a rock feature with an elevated jumping rock into the deep end with a small grottoish set up below it (idea is to give the kids a specific spot to jump into the deep end). I just can't put my finger on why I don't love...

We have gotten quotes from 5 companies, all about in the same range for a pool/spa in our smallish back yard (55-59K is where all the quotes have come in). This includes a 85-90 perimeter pool going from 3.5 to 6 feet deep, not sure of size of the spa, but it's a 6 person size, with about 400 sq...
