Just installed liner. It was not leaking but noticed that is steadily leaking more now. If pumps are on, it can leak over 1 inch over a 2-3 day period. What can I do. I did not see any torn in the liner except for one I saw and patched it. Suggestions? I hope do not need to break the cement to...

I had everything new installed. Super pump, Hayward Multiport SP0714g11m, SWG, etcc. I attached everything, the pump was in recirculate mode. I filled the pump up to prime it and turn on the pump in recirculate mode. I fill water into the pump basket and it was taking in.... I think I made a...

I bought a 50lbs pail powdered pool shock last season. Good thing I use nearly 50% of it... it seems like now it just sinks down and does not do anything at all even to shock the pool now. I should have bought individual packs since they are all 'sealed' . Never buy a pail... with the winter and...

I brought the SWG to be tested by Leslie Pool and it was tested a few times and passed. I cleaned the attached senor as well with muriatic acid 1 part on 5 parts water... what else may I be missing. The unit (box) is also working fine, display all necessary info and LEDs all show as it is...

Are Generic Salt Water Generators good? Generic t-Cell 40k. In poolsupply world there is a PSW Generic T-Cell 15 and a CompuPool T-Cell 15. Both are rated for up to 40k gallons. It seems CompuPool has a lot of negatives in their feedback. Anyone has experience in this or is it better to just go...

My pool has like 22,000-23,000 gallon of water. Should I get a SWG that is up to 40,000 or the one that is up to 25,000. Which is better suited or get the bigger one? Price is not that big diff. Amazon has it both Hayward Goldline T-Cell-15 TurboCell Salt Chlorination Cell for In-Ground...

How much Borax I need for a pool size of 24,000 - 25,000 gallons on a SWG pool? I used it for 10 years and it some ways it really help with it not getting algae so quickly. Advise. I believe I need a 16 bag +- of salt in it as well. I will add them slowly through the days.

I have a 18 x 32 pool.. shallow part (nearly 1/ of the pool) slopes from 3ft to 6 ft and then drops to 8 - 8.5 ft. Rectangular pool. With pool calculator it shows as 30,000+ gallons but I think it is not that much. As I need to buy 40lbs bags of salt. How many bags of salt do I need or exactly...

I have a SWG for a few years... and an old sand filter..they are going to drain and remove liner and install the new liner 18 x 36ft (21,000 gallons). How many bags of salt do I need and what do I need to put in to this newly installed pool. I hope he puts the lights well otherwise it might leak...

20 vs 27mm. I have a pool which goes for the first 5-6 7 at 3ft all the way to 9ft. I think we got a 20mm overall. So far now it has lasted about 6-7 years. The previous one before we changed (done by previous owner) was probably a 27mm. I am wondering if the local pool installer was just too...

I tried to patch pool but obviously the leak was noty totally patch. Did bucket test, etc. I thought it was at the skimmer. Used Epoxy and others.. but I think leak could be all the way below. Should I just go ahead and change the liner now or do it after Winter and more in the Spring? I am sure...

I have an inground pool 18 x 32 with steps. I done the Pool bucket test. It stays the same when the pool is off. When I turn it on I lose about 1/2 inch per day. I have patched all visible small tiny holes I can see below the 9 foot deep water.... ranging from 4 ft deep to 9'. Skimmer seems...

I check it seems to be hover at maybe around 30 or lower. The summer is getting really hot (100+) n storms made pool water went sky high ... had to lower water like 2 inches.. wonder if that made borates in water went down. Add a box of borates then?

What can this be? What am I missing? I had cleaned the internals of the SWG it was ok at 3200-3400 but it dropped like 200 last few days. Am I missing something? Chlorine levels and clacium and CYA are around optimal.

Could it be leaking? I had it fixed 2x through the years. I lower my water yesterday just a little and refilled it. Backwash, rinsed a few times. I check near skimmer with leak detection but found nothing to be leaking. Water is still too cold to go under or even in the water. I ideas? Liner...

How do I then find a way for this whitish, greyish or greenish cloud to be drained off from the pool instead of making it go back into the pool. I am still SLAMMING the pool. I noted this clould like thing during after a few months of using the pool and doing backwash would come back again... I...

During the process of Slamming. Should I 'throw' or lower the water levels at least 3-4 inches?

FC - 7.5 CC 2.5 PH 7.4 TA 110 Calcium 300 Do I need to add more shock or bleach? Running 24/7 since 5 days... did not had a vac.. (under repair still but borrow friend 3 days ago - not good type)

I am still having a slightly greenish but turning blue SWG pool with all near to optimal now. Do I add the borates (20 Mule 4lbs Box from Walmart) or do I do this after the pool is balanced?

I have a pool vac and the electrical cable to the vac has no continuity. I had this problem before and they cut a part of the cable and reconnect it to the unit. If I am to cut the cable the then hook it back to the unit. How will I know where the cable is kinda 'broken' at that side? Thanks. It...

Is a Winterizing kit needed or just a winterizing Ball or aka The Winter Ball ? I had used a winterizing kit for several years but when I open the pool it was nothing but green algae like the lake and takes about 2 weeks of intensive shocking and bleaching to get it to turn clear using algaecide...

Pool Lights got flooded internally (inground pool). Can I reuse this again and this time checking to make sure it sits well into the hinges. It somehow got off the hinges and went in thus flooding the entire light. It looks like a hayward but called sanford wet nich type k-868523. What is the...

What can I do to buffer up the pool. 22,000 gal, SWG.I am going to close it up with a net only. What chems do I need to add a few days before to beef it up so that when I get back it will not be like a green pond. Strategies? I will not be asking anyone to take care of it. Thanks

Moved to new thread by Divin Dave which is better to use a PH increaser like Borax 20 Mule, Soda Ash or Baking soda if PH is a little low but TA is at 120 and everything else is all normal already? Thanks..

I saw this one here.. http://www.amazon.com/Spicy-World-Citric-Acid-5-Pound/dp/B000OZFECU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1431488397&sr=8-1&keywords=citric+acid+5lbs Like Baking soda used as substitue.... I thought of this since it is way cheaper than vitamin c at 2lbs and for me I need at least 4-5...
