Your pool is fine. I agree with the others. It is also easy to replace skimmer. Just drain below the skimmer and remove screws holding it in place. Screw new skimmer in and connect plumbing.

I only bonded the skimmer - which bonded the water and then put a connector on one of the bolts where the wall comes together. My inspector didn't require bonding 4 points around the pool. Which one are you asking about?

Only lost .5 to 1 ppm chlorine overnight. Water really cloudy and keep pulling robot up with a few leaves and water is not flowing through the robot filter well so it is like gunk on the bottom. Added some chlorine to get up to 12 PPM and the rain has moved in. Will check again in a bit.

2021 - I took my cover off to a crystal clear pool in June. 2022 - my cover fell off in a crystal clear pool at the beginning of March. Oh boy. Life gets in the way and my pool has set without chemicals for months. Went from clear to a little tint of green then to swamp within a few days of...

I hope you all had a great summer with your friends and family. Enjoying the last couple days in my TFP. Would like to dedicate my summer to my SWCG and robot. My two best investments so far!! Let's see those TFP pics!! Please share your favorite pic of the summer!

I would drain the water from the sand filter then use a dolly to move to a new pad closer to the outlet. Before you start up the pump you need to fill up your filter with a hose to the sand level. From there you can fire up the pump and you will be good to go. The other option would be to use a...

I just had to post a couple things because I am floored... I absolutely hated getting my suction side vacuum out and using it...putting all the hoses together.. priming it...taking and adding fittings from the skimmer...I ain't got time for that! Getting a deck put on and there is shavings...

I know... I have 2 or 3 that don't sit right. I just close my eyes when I swim past them! Enjoy your new pool!

What pool are you putting up? For smaller pools that are put away for winter you would use a tarp. For permanent above ground pools you want to cut the sod and level the ground. Give more info and we can help.

Just unscrew your return eyeball on inside and put in a winter plug.

Does it "poof" when you hit it with the brush?

Looks like algae to me - I would SLAM as YippeeSkippy recommended.

Will do - I used flex seal too and I still have a steady stream - I am worried it is coming from a crease in the pool wall below the skimmer. I may try to hit it with a hammer to see if the crease comes out but not sure until I get in there and look at it closely. I have way more than a few...

I am having the same problem. Pool installed last year and I accidentally left a valve closed which caused a lot of ice build up in skimmer. My faceplate cracked in 3 places. I bought a new one and a gasket. My plan is like @zea3 recommends. I am going to drop water level below skimmer. Remove...

First - read the ABC's of Pool Water Chemistry: ABC's of Pool Water Chemistry - Trouble Free Pool Second - I would recommend you getting this test kit: TF-Pro *Salt with Smart Stir-for pools with SWG That will let you test your water and adjust as needed. You will test for the salt in the...

I have a similar unit and it works great. I bought with my pool last year. Hayward S230T 23" Sand Filter System 1.5-HP 2-Speed Matrix Pump

Looks good but I was hoping to see an increasing number of beer cans with every picture and I was disappointed :ROFLMAO:

It looks like you have it upside down. The metal stabilizer just snaps down on top.

Anything metal within a certain distance (not sure of exact distance) of the pool needs to be bonded. Obviously if you don't already have a bonding grid you need to add that first by burying a copper wire around your pool then bonding the pool, water, pump and if you have a metal ladder.

I gave it the old foot measurement of 30 steps from skimmer to the wall of the house. So probably more like 30'

Ah I gotcha. Does it make any difference if I do 1.5" ? I normally just run it on low speed.

I already have pump - bought it with the pool last year. Wouldn't I be using 2 pipes anyway? 1 for in flow and 1 out. Or am I misunderstanding what you are saying? Everything is plumbed with 1.5" now but I was going to switch to 2" since SWG is 2" and I think I can reuse all my Jandy valves at 2".

Not anything crazy. Maybe a foot higher than skimmer but I could probably level it out underground. Just not sure if that would affect the flow.

Not sure of the flow rate. It is a Hayward 2 speed pump 1.5 HP. https://www.hayward-pool.com/assets/documents/pools/pdf/manuals/PowerFloMatrix-ISSP1591.pdf Didn't see that info listed. I am planning to use 2" pipe and it's about 35' from where pump would be. Does it matter if the pipes run...
