I've got a persistent leak around my in wall stairs. During the colder months when my pool is winterized, my water level drops to the lower, horizontal flange of my stairs. At that point, it stops leaking so I know that the leak is at that level. The only break in the liner at this level is...

Hello all, hoping there might be someone that could make a suggestion that I haven't already looked at. This is my third season with my pool. The pool itself was installed in the fall of 2013. Once the liner was set, my pool builder had water trucked in to fill the pool and immediately...

I've posted my frustrations with my pool in the past, but here goes again. I had a pool installed last winter. It was completed and filled just before Thanksgiving of 2013. It was determined within a few days that the pool was leaking from somewhere. There were a limited number of places it...

Hey everyone, Closed my pool this year and ended up investing in a cyclone blower. Didn't realize until after I bought it that it doesn't come with a hose. Any recommendations on the best type of hose to buy for the blower? I checked out shop vac hoses at lowes and home depot, but it was...

This is the end of the first summer since our pool was installed last fall. Once the build was complete last year, the builder covered the pool and winterized the main drain. He didn't cut the hole in the liner for the returns and skimmer until opening this year so there wasn't any water in...

So I'm going to be going away for vacation in two weeks. I'll be gone for about a week. I have terrible anxiety over leaving my crystal clear pool as I'm afraid I'm going to come back to a swamp. I plan on overfilling my pool a bit and setting the timer on my pump to kick on each day and turn...

Anyone else in the southeastern PA area have significant evaporation from their pool? is there a noteable difference in water evaporation between and IG pool and above ground pool? The reason I ask, is that I've finally got the leak fixed in my pool. My pool builder had a leak detection...

This is my first summer ever maintaining a pool. Thanks to this site, my pool sparkly clear. Ever since I slammed it, I've gotten numerous compliments not only about the cleanliness and clarity of my water, but also about the lack of "pool smell" and the natural "feel" of the water. My...

I've noticed that my PH seems to always rise to about 7.8 and then it seems to level off. The water is still a bit cold, but the kids have been playing in it on the really warm sunny days, but their hasn't been a whole lot of splashing and I don't keep my return jets pointed toward the surface...

Just opened my pool. Its a brand new pool and was just built in this past fall so this will be my first year with it. My pool builder was finishing some work over the past week or so and I've also been finishing a lot of the landscaping for the past few weeks. I ran the tests last week to...

This will be the first summer of maintaining a pool for me. I've got a newly constructed pool and my CYA is at 0. I purchased an 8lb bucket of stabilizer, which should be enough to bring my CYA up to 50 according to pool math. My question is, between backwashing, rain water and topping off the...

Ok, so I had a pool installed in the fall. Once construction was finished, the pool was covered up for the winter months. We're almost finished all the landscaping around the pool and we will be getting ready to open the pool for the summer in the next few weeks. I've got my TF-100 kit from...

Just picked up my permit from my township yesterday afternoon. My pool company should be here throughout the weekend digging the hole. Just ordered my TF-100 test kit so I should hopefully be getting that in the mail sometime next week. I'm already excited :whoot: and cant wait to use the...

Hi everyone. I've been checking out this forum for about a week now as I'm in the process of getting a pool. Decided to register today and this is my very first post on this forum. I lived in Philadelphia, PA for thirty-two years and thankfully moved 45 miles southwest of the city to the...
