Okay, I need help settling a debate. I saw some electric fence signs and thought it would be funny to put them on the gate of our pool fence as a conversation piece with friends and to potentially ward off anybody that isn’t suppose to be around or doesn’t know. My wife and daughters saw them...

Hello, forgive me if this has been discussed, I cannot find a good answer anywhere. So, we had our new pool installed last fall at our new house. I decided to take the winter to decide what i wanted to use to heat the pool. I was adamant that I wanted a heat pump because we only have propane...

This whole thing started with a leak that developed last year. At one point I was losing an inch day. I had to add a lot of well water which has a very high iron content. I didn’t notice too much staining last year but did see some early signs of it. This spring I had to add about 3000...

I just installed my new pump today and my pressure is running steady at 10 PSI with a clean filter, does this sound about right? The new pump is 3/4 HP pentair superflo single speed with 1 1/2" plumbing. The old pump was Sta-rite 3/4 hp and ran at about 14 PSI with clean filter. Everything...

Decided to have a local pool guy come out to open the pool this year because I haven't had much time and he only charged 100$. He said I had a real bad algae problem and that he had never seen algae that would adhere to the pool. The algae was sticking in certain areas but I had been killing it...

Well, Have not needed to post in a while but I am completely stumped. Losing an inch a day. Did bucket test and only lost 1/16 of an inch in bucket. This is my 4th season with a pool and I have never lost water like this. Plugged skimmer and main drain at different times and still lost water...

I have researched my problem thoroughly on this site and have tried everything that everyone suggests and still have not been able to fix my problem. Everything was working normally until about a week ago. All I did last weekend was fill the chlorinator with tabs and vacuum the pool through the...

I recently bought used stairs from someone who was getting rid of their pool. These are the exact steps- http://www.lumi-o.com/index.php?lang=en ... t=stairs_5 . The stairs came with a 4’x5’ stair pad to protect the liner. I now have the stairs installed but without the pad. The pad wanted...

When using the 1 ½” hose hooked up to the skimmer this year I noticed that I didn’t seem to be getting the suction I did last season. I first noticed this when I had the vacuum head attached to the hose. I took that off and it still doesn’t seem as powerful as it used to be. There is no...

I have a loop-loc safety cover for the winter and have always drained down my pool in the fall about 15 inches. In early spring I always have to drain the pool back down because it is getting on the verge of getting too high which tells me we get about 15 to 20 inches of precipitation over the...

I Have a 16x32 IG pool built in 1984. It has steel walls and a vermiculite base. I needed a new liner so a local pool contractor who has been in the business for 30 years came over and measured for the new one. The day came to install it and when they pulled the old liner there was a 2” crack...
