About 5 months ago I started loosing a lot of water out of the pool. About 2" an hour when the pumps were running. I had American Leak Detection come out and they told me a had a broken pipe at the connection behind the skimmer. I had skimmer replaced but was still losing water. They checked...

I'm adding a pool heater and going to take the opportunity to re plumb my equipment and upgrade my valves. Currently I have a Haywood DE filter with a push pull vale and cheap potable water ball valves on the skimmer and main drain returns. I'm thinking I will put a 3 way between the...

I posted a request for plumber reconditions in the other forum but I wanted to get input here as well so I'm armed with a little knowledge before I talk to them. I am looking to add a heater and have questions on the gas service. The pad is already plumbed with a gas line from a previous...

I had a stain issue with my pool light last spring when I used a non stainless screw that rusted. I replaced the light and did an AA treatment. It lightened the big stain but several other smaller stains came up. Not wanting to spend the money on chemicals to do another I decided to live with...

The last time I checked my CYA levels was in March/April and it was at 50 and had been steady for the prior couple months. I checked it today and I can still barley see the dot with the cylinder completely full. I did 3 tests to be sure. I have only added a couple inches of water(plus rain)...

I'm a little concerned about the pressure on my Haywood DE filter. I've had the pool for 6 months now and have done several back washes. After backwash and adding new DE the starting pressure comes up to about 10 psi which is the low end of the markers on the gauge. The high marker is at 20...

I have some staining on my plaster and I'm trying to figure out the best way to deal with it. There are two types. The first is a light brown on the steps and a patch on the bottom. To me it looks like it’s just dirty and I thought a brush and vacuum would clean that up. However, when I...

Looking for an electrician in Dallas that knows pools. I need someone to troubleshoot my pool lights (not getting power) and have the whole system bonded. From what I read many electricians don't know understand pool bonding correctly so I'd like to get one with pool experience.

So thanks to this site I think I'm ready to take the plunge (pun intended) and take over my pool completely. I've got my chemistry under control, freeze guard installed, performed backwash and refill cycle with my DE filter and have a Stenner pump going in the weekend. The last thing I need...

Just wondering if anyone has a good inexpensive bleach source in Dallas. I have only checked Fiesta so far. They have their Fiesta Concentrated 8.25% 121 fl oz bottle for $2.99. Not sure if that's good or not. Going to check Sams and Walmart next weekend.

So I think I understand this. If I want to vacuum or pump water out of my pool I should set my system to waste and that will bypass the filter completely and pump water out of the waste pipe. This is different from backwash where the water run through the filer in reverse and comes out the...
