The pool should have come with plastic plugs half ball looking

you do have the strainer fittings pushed into those pool connections right? They go in from the inside of pool and give some rigidity to the connection. With that pump you will never get a vacuum to work consistently. Air really is not going to travel reverse up your hose from the fitting...

Having to deal with leveling out ground on a regular basis i would say hire that part out.. It can get away from you really quick when using equipment where a professional that does it daily can have it done in a short time.

If its wobbling side to side then the base is unstable.. You could re level those blocks, remove the block and put a bigger stone in, or use tap-con and big fender washer and screw the base down to the paver's

I did not mean the cost of electricity but the cost comparison between a normal and double pole breaker... in all the years of working with electrical I have never seen a 110volt line run of both sides of a double pole breaker. Can't wrap my head around how it would work or even how it would not...

Agree with above test outlet voltage.. Putting a double pole in when you only need a single is a waist as it costs double.. Also if your only using a single pole out of it i have seen it where they will not trip properly in the case of a over load as its trying to trip a double breaker. Im...

i take mine down every winter. not worth the risk of something hitting the frozen liner and splitting it.. i just vacuum it dry and wipe it out with a towel and fold it up.. As far as your dirt goes toss a tarp and a few 2x4's over it to hold it down? im going to pull mine today the temps have...

U should be calling a electrician. Pool electrical is nothing to mess with if you do not know 100% what you are doing

Once dirt and leaves hit the bottom the skimmer is useless. I use a cordless vac for the bottom and it works good only thing i did was make the handle longer so i could reach the middle of the pool. The stock cartrage filter works for what it is and keeps the water moving and gets some of the...

heater is not going to be much good if the legs sink and the pool comes apart.. you can buy the screw on to hose barb adapters online. As above some more pictures would be nice

Whats supporting your legs? i see no signs of blocks or timber

Hopefully your installer put the cinder blocks in the right way as they are only structural in one direction. Meaning they would have had to solid fill them or put something top and bottom

Why not just toss in a floating chlorine puck holder

Ya my water leak was so small I shrugged it off when I found it and kept looking. But I guess it adds up

Lol... agreed...if it works it works... some people just cannot see past the numbers... some of us build these for next to nothing...

As much as you may not want to hear it. Maby its time to cover up the pool and let it sit until your to the point it makes more financial sense to open it up..

Hit hardware store websites like lows, home depo, etc they have online deck builders that will help you out with the design and materials list

Looking at your weather down their i would say 1/2 is probably evap and 1/2 is due to the drip you have from your connection hose. I had a small drip from my jet hose at teh first of the year and was loosing 2 1/2 inches a week of water. Leak was small enough i did not see it teh first several...

You can vacuum to waste or in filter mode. First thing that comes to mind is a blockage in the vacuum or the hose. Next thing is possibly vacuum head is not compatible with your pump. meaning the inlet to the vacuum is to small for the suction of the pump. Lat but not least im sure is hose is...

I would almost say their is to much strain on that fitting. They don't like go have anything pulling on it like hose being to short..

Always makes me wonder.. Sure it may defy the laws of physics depending on how you figure it out. But i have seen nurmorus posts on DIY setups that work and work well but yet people are always told it will not work.. I had one and could get easily 5 deg temp rise in my pool during the day. Only...

Ask your landloard before doing anything..

Nice ... now i can hard plumb everything

This is why I reposted the help sections that was already posted for u... when a pool goes wrong it's not a over night fix... but once u learn and understand and get it fixed. It will almost become a routine talking a few min a night and then every few days. I have mine dialed in and only need a...

Your answers are above... you need to step back read and enter the information required in the pool math program... You may be getting frustrated but its been pointed out several times you are not adding enough.. We cannot do it for you or give you the magical number a pool requires work...

My bad I was reading the wrong chart... eather way you still need to add more... if u follow the procedures that the others have posted u should be good to go...

Why are you saying all these pumps are failing? Adding a bag of clorine that should cover a 5000 gal pool is just a drop in the hat sine your pool is about 15000 gal. Not sure if your pool has a airation jet on the outside of your return jet but i found mine leaked draining the pool a few inches...

Was it you that posted about this a week ago about 2 1/2 out? I guess the first step would be is grab a laser level and find out exactly where the concrete starts dropping worse case a good long level and 2x4 or something as a strait edge. The problem with using dirt or sand on concrete is its...

Only reason i would buy a used pool is for the equipment.. Personally i would not trust a used pool go to all the work and expense of setting it up and find out it has a hole some ware.. As stated above watch the sales

i would just fill with soil.
