So my pool I noticed leaks water only when pump is on high to run the cleaner. It floods the low ground and gets everything pretty mushy. I thought it was a pipe leak on the return near the spa since that’s were water shows up first but now I’m not sure it’s a pipe. I’ve started digging next...

So my pool is no longer green... but I'm getting so frustrated with it, it's hard to keep it that way cause it's still such a mess (and I mean it's hard to keep it that way cause you spend so much time with it and seems it doesn't get much better and just feels overwhelming and just wanna ignore...

Ok I have one of those energy saving pumps. I usually run it 10 hours a day or so at around 1100 rpm (or whatever it is on the pump)... I have a quick clean setting for when I put powder chemicals or bleach in the skimmer. If I don't turn it on higher, the powder stuff comes out the drain cause...

I was under the pression the main drains in pool and spa are supposed to suck. I just noticed today after adding power powder plus down the skimmer, that it's coming back in through the main drains. I don't know of it's always been doing this but I just noticed it today as there was a big...

Any creative ideas for a pool light without fixing the real one? I just spent quite a bit of money getting this pool running, repairing and replacing stuff and I REALLY do not think the pool light is worth the money it would cost to fix (the transformer is bad and then if they fix that, they...

My system has two pumps... a big one and a small one. I thought the small one was for like the spa or something. I was searching pool cleaners and they keep mentioning how you need a booster pump too. I was starting to wonder if the smaller pump is a booster pump... Also while I have this...

I have a feeling I'm going to be spending a lot of time here... So I thought I might as well officially introduce myself. I just bought my first house and it came with a 30-35k gallon pool. I mean I got a good deal on the house and I'm very happy with it and the pool was kind of exciting even...

So now that I've got the pool water clear, I'm noticing a lot of hair line cracks particularly in the low end. One runs quite long (3 or 4 feet in a lightning design across the bottom). I just got this house a couple weeks ago and it was a swamp then so I didn't really notice the cracks then...

Ok sorry for asking so many questions... I'm still trying to figure this pool out. I have a pool/spa set up deal. Spa is right next to the pool. There are 4 jets around the spa which shot out water when the pump is running. When the pump is running the spa fills up and the extra spills into the...

Ok so I think I got my pool all nice and going now. After about two weeks my pool is crystal clear. Everything seems to be working. The pump sounds insanely loud though. Is it supposed to be that loud? Are the bearings going out or something? This is my first pool BTW, and it was a real fixer...

I don't know if this is the right section for this but.. I just bought a house that came with a fairly large pool/sp. Never had a pool before but I got an excellent deal on the house but I'm finding the pool a lot of work, lol :P I didn't put much thought into the pool but for the last 3 days...
