Dear hive mind my pool has a leak, causing me to lose water down to the bottom of the skimmer entry (the skimmer pots remain at the same level, which rules out leaks in the pipework and the deck side of the pool wall, imo). This leak is a challenge since without the skimmers taking in water...

Hi all My pool floor is covered with dust and silt every morning; worse after rains and winds. A zodiac electric vac has been useless. Normally I use a Polaris 280 and that typically works ok for the average day. Particularly heavy dust-falls needs a manual vacuum. Just a normal vac hose on...

Those with keen memories will recall that I have recently converted a Magiline pool to a traditional filtration system. Magiline is a proprietary pool system that uses a venturi effect to filter via cartridge filters. Since mid-season last year I have filtered the pool via a 63mm hose dropped...

Now then, good evening, good day all I'm trying to convert some 'Magiline' skimmers so that they have a direct suction line to the pump. I've dug 90% of one out and the image below tells the story. Is there any tried and tested way of plumping a 50mm pipe into a corrugated profile such as the...

Hi all I'm trying to think my way out of a plumbing mistake for my sensors and chemical injection ports. I have some ports which are perfect and allow for one injector and one sensor. I need ports for another ph type sensor, a temp sensor and two more chemical injection points. I had planned...

I have a magiline pool where the skimmers have no suction line at all. There is only a return. The return jet causes a low pressure to form below the skimmer and creates a flow through the cartridge therein. . The system works fine in principle but the cartridge filters are madly priced...

Hi all I'm about to have to quarantine in the UK for 14 days. So I thought that was a good opportunity to advance a project I've had in mind for a while. I'm calling for collaborators if anyone is interested. The project is a hobby level pool management system. The features would be pH...

Hello First time on here. Hello everyone! I've just converted (tried to) my in ground magiline cartridge pool to a more standard set up with a pool house, pump and sand filter. It didn't go smoothly. Happy to expand on that if useful.... Anyway the new pump I have (a polish clone of a...

Hi Thanks for letting me join. I've been a pool owner for 18 years. Based in the south west of France. Of those 18 years I've had not a single one that I regard as trouble free. Sad.... I have a magiline pool. Built in motor and skimmers attached to the return line (no suction lines from...
