    Pool Light Niche Ring

    Texas Splash: I can try to take a picture of the light but I don't think it will show up very good being in the water. Jimmythegreek: So just using fender washers would not be good enough to mostly seal the liner to the niche? I really don't want to drain the pool down 3+ feet and refill which...

    Pool Light Niche Ring

    I have old Swinquip pool lights and the ring around the niche is rusted and staining the vinyl liner. They do not make them any more so I cannot buy new ones. So I want to remove them and have them cleaned, maybe sand blasted and then powder coated. Checking with a couple of local shops, this...

    First reading with new test kit

    I have another thread about semi closing my for 3 week while we are on vacation and it was recommended I add some Polyquot before putting the Safety Cover on. I will have to get some Muriatic acid to lower the pH. I will do some searching on it. I am sure I will find that I can it at a Home...

    First reading with new test kit

    Updating my progress and correction on one of my readings from my first post. I did put a sock with conditioner in it in each skimmer last week and my CYA level is up some. May be a little bit better at testing now too. I had pressure washed the concrete around the pool last weekend and a...

    First reading with new test kit

    Thanks for the quick reply. The water is crystal clear, no signs of algae. The pool store test has always recommended I increase CYA, it was 10 the first time I took the water sample in. I have been added conditioner each time after a test and it has increased each time. I did not want to put...

    First reading with new test kit

    New pool owner. I had the liner changed and switch to SWCG in March. So it was an early opening. I have been taking a water sample to my local pool store, but then I found TFP and purchased a TF-100 and K1766. Today I made my first test and hopefully I did things correctly. It rained last night...

    Temporary closing

    I have meet several of the neighbors, but they do not have pools and would not know what to check without me showing them everything. I think I am going to increase the % for the SWCG the week before and then lower it a little the day I cover it, but keep it a little higher then I have been...

    Temporary closing

    Yes the pumps is self priming. Before I replaced the o-ring in the pump basket cover and the mulyiport valve all the water would drain back to the pool from the pump and it would take a minute or so before water would get back to the pump. This was because it was also sucking air. Now the pump...

    Temporary closing

    Thanks for the quick reply and I am sorry for my delay in replying. I ordered a Test Kit the same day, but it has not arrived yet. My concern with leaving the pump running was it use to loose primp and I did not want the pump to come on and not really do anything burn it up. I think I have...

    Temporary closing

    Bought a house in November with a pool and had the liner changed, sand in the filter changed and switched to SWCG in March. This is the first pool I have owned, so I am new to all the things that have to be done. Because the liner was changed in March, there really was not a pool opening per...
