Have a 20 x 41 inground pool with steps and concrete walls. It needs a custom liner and last time (10 years ago) I did it myself but I don’t want to DIY this time. I opened the pool and noticed the water was lower so I’m also have a pressure check on the main drain. Is 8000 including the...

Someone mentioned a leak detection company and I want to echo that. Had a similar issue with pool dropping at least an inch or more every two days. Hired a company and they found small holes in the liner at various areas. I think you have that and the drain leaks but it’s worth the leak company...

I have not, honestly I've never made a claim on homeowners insurance. I'll look into it, thanks.

I do and it looks like the coping is in sections or was made with fracture/crack lines every X feet anyway so likely could pull a section out. I may look at a mason though to do this or see about coping replacement for the pool entirely.

Sounds like a plan, if the mortar doesn't work I can go the replacement route. I'm not well versed on making forms, is there a place that sells them or any bookmarks on sites that explain that a bit better?

Here are the pictures of the cracked coping

Unrelated, I was able to patch the safety cover with waterproof tape (Gorilla brand black tape). One roll on both sides after drying did it. I'd say it's a one season fix or maybe 2 if you indoor store the cover but I plan to replace the safety cover by sending it in for a 1:1 replacement. So...

Last month a big storm took down a tree which missed my new pool shed but cracked the coping of my inground 20x40 pool. The lip of the coping is broken off and I'm wondering if I can do something for a temporary fix and then think of something more permanent. I think the bond beam is intact (I...

What pump do you have? I'm about to replace the motor on mine. I have a WFE-26 which is a dual-speed 1.5 up rated pump. I really like the whisperflo dual speeds. Mine has been exposed to the elements and I think the bonding connection wasn't secure as there is a little corrosion. I really...

I heard clay and french drain! If your soil is like mine, DO NOT USE a french drain or a drain well until you do below. This is a cheap test you can do and it will save you a TON of frustration!!! Before you install a french drain, please do a soil drainage test. Not sure if someone...

I like the two speed. I run the low speed with a whisperflo almost 24 hours and try to limit the high speed. This ends up being quite economical. Variable speed is great but expensive and I think you’ll find you do full blast and some other lower setting for runs. You also need to maybe...

Well hopefully it’s brass piping. Is this Brass Conduit?

You should be able to see the fins and it should be almost translucent when wet like this. Follow all the instructions here and if that doesn’t work you like need to replace them. DE Filter Cleaning Tutorial

Those grids do not look that great. I’d consider replacing them if that’s the clean pictures. They should be a very fine mesh. You could try an acid wash but you’ll likely make the grid brittle (I’ve not done this btw). It looks like there is build up on your grids. The quick pressure rise...

Is that a hose? I’ve never seen that. I have schedule 40 pvc from end to end. I also don’t understand how it was connected in the first place. What is on the other side of that broken elbow.
