    Pool cover issues

    the rope broke on one side of my auto cover. The pool company says I have to replace tracks pulleys and cover to fix this. Does that sound right? Is there a diy video on fixing the rope without replacing everything. It broke because water level was too low and I didn’t realize it.

Or would the pressure build up in the filter? My backwash waste pipe goes into the ground and I have no idea where it eventually ends up. My...

    Pool store pH test...

    Disclaimer. The manager at my Leslie’s is very knowledgeable and never tries to sell me chemicals. Occasionally I take my sample to test for metals and double check my own results. He said pH will not read correctly if FC is above 5ppm. My FC is 7 (cya 60) and pH is 7.6. He neutralized my...
