    Broken Weir Door

    It arrived and the tabs popped right into place. Not sure if the kids were messing with it or if it broke when they were jumping off the diving board and making big waves. The pool sure was dirty on top of the water the last 2 days, it’s amazing how much the skimmer filters out. My skimmer socks...

    First swim of the season at the new house!

    Congrats! The older I get, the better the cold water feels on my knees and feet. I’ve been under twice so far this year, but haven’t been off the diving board yet. Our pool hit 70 degrees but has gotten colder lately. 🥶

    Ascorbic Acid treatment and Sequestrant follow up

    I gave up on it for now. My stains haven't reappeared yet and I have more AA. I have one bottle of Metal Magic but need more if Im going the route. Its expensive! I stuffed my polyfil in a skimmer sock and placed it in the skimmer when I tried it.

    Ascorbic Acid treatment and Sequestrant follow up

    I’m doing a AA treatment as we speak. I have polyfill in the skimmer but I had to remove it due to it getting clogged. So much wind in my area that the neighbors blooms etc from their bradford pear trees are filling my pool daily. His trees are very far away but the high winds blow everything...

    Metal stain help

    I used 3 lbs the 1st time I did an AA treatment. It was too much. I just did another AA treatment and used 2 lbs. It took overnight to completely clear the stains but it’s much better. Got on amazon for $20 for 2.2 lbs.

    Preparing to start Ascorbic Acid treatment

    I just added AA 2 weeks ago. My pool is similar size and last time and used 3 lbs and it was overkill. I just used 2 lbs this time and it removed everything, although it did take longer to work overnight. I am going to try to remove iron with polyfill in the skimmer so I won’t have to keep...

    Pump and PVC Melted under Blanket w Halogen Light during TN deep freeze 2024

    PB came out today and fixed my suction side leak. It seemed like it was coming from the top of the pump from a pvc joint/union. I guess I’ll pay the bill now 🤑

    Hayward VS700 - Suction Side Leak

    I removed the lid and wiped down the rubber seal and lid. I couldn’t tell if the rubber ring could be removed? I lubed it up and filled w it water and started up the pump again. Still getting air bubbles. Poured water over the lid and it seems to stop the air from coming in 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Pump and PVC Melted under Blanket w Halogen Light during TN deep freeze 2024

    I had to replace the pressure gauge on my MPV to stop a leak. It also appears that I have a sunction side leak near the pool pump. Bubbles come inside my filter basket when I turn off the skimmer or main drain ball valve. I'll try running water over the pipes tonight to see if I can find the...

    Warrior SE pushing 4 years of service

    I found my Rapid Drain Flap floating in my skimmer. I couldn't figure out where it came from or what is was. Got a new one and my SE worked like new.

    Pump and PVC Melted under Blanket w Halogen Light during TN deep freeze 2024

    I called my PB last week because they never called or billed me, they said they would have to get with the worker to find out how much he had to repair ... but I still haven't heard from them. I went out yesterday and heard an awful loud sound in the backyard. It thought it was coming from a...
