Thanks for the responses everyone. I have had 2 socks in the pool with CYA in them since opening. Also I am using pucks in the chlorinator. I have been testing the pool myself with the TF-100 test kit but went to the pool store to pick up some more liquid chlorine so I took a sample of water...

I don't know yet if its long enough but if it is are you saying I can hook the filter line just right up to my chlorinator at the union?

Hello, I noticed today that my pool heater is leaking at the inlet( on the copper ) which I hear is a common problem. I am not going to fix it right now because I don't use the heater and was thinking of going another route in the future for heating my pool. My question is how can I or can't I...

I don't know about Walmarts around everyone else, but my Walmart price matches. I know Menards in Angola Indiana has the sale a case of 4, 1 gallon containers of 12% for $8 and then Rural King has a case of 4, 1 gallon 10% for 9.99. I've bought from all of these places, but when I can't get to...

PROBLEM FIXED. Wasn't plumbing. It was electrical. Problem is fixed now. :) Pool is working great as we speak.

I attached 3 pool pictures. I'm not trying to sound dumb, but does this mean there is an air leak above ground in some of the lines or could there be an air leak in the lines under the ground too? I'm sorry if I sound dumb, but I am an emergency room nurse not pool expert. :) I'm adding to this...

Update: So I ordered a new pump because I thought the reason my pump wasn't filling all the way was a pump problem from reading online. BUT it doesn't seem too be a pump problem, looks like the pump I had before was working, just leaking because the NEW pump is doing the exact same thing. I...

ok so I am reading online and it seems that more than likely I have a lek on the suction side. Everything it says is what my pool is doing. I have bubbles coming out of my returns and low force from the jets. But there are no bubbles in the strainer pot of the pool pump, just not filling all the...

Ok and how do I go about tracking down the 2 types of leaks? Suction side leak first?

I've been trying to upload a pic, but it keeps saying the file is too big. It is a hayward super self priming pump and it is leaking at the back between the black plastic. And yes it only leaks while the pump is running. As an update I let the pump run for an hours last night and backwashed and...

Hello, I opened my pool today and when I turned on the pump the was working but it's leaking water and not self priming like it should. The filter was working and water is coming out of the jets, but its low pressure. I'm guessing the low pressure is from the pump not completely priming all the...

So any tips on cover. 12 mil or 16 mil? Blue, clear, black/blue? I've heard so many different reviews. I'm buying a solar cover, or 2 since my pool is L shaped in the next couple days. Also where is a good place to look at solar heat? I'd spend $1000-$1500 to get started on something like that...

Hello, I have a 33,000 gallon L shaped inground pool and looking to improve on a way to heat my pool this summer. I have a heater that came with the pool, but only after 2 years the heater is broke. Last summer I didn't have a lot of money so I didn't even have the heater looked at or try to...

I have a question on my pool cover. I have an L shaped 33,000 gallon pool with a cover that snaps into the liner. After putting it in then you go around the edge of the pool and snap this rubber stuff in place to secure so the liner stays in place. I hope this makes sense. I can't find any...

ok so my next question is what should I buy or how big? Honestly I will not buy one this year, it will have to be next year becauase I can't financially do it this year. Here are some answers to questions you may ask. The pool is L shapped, and has 1 skimmer, and 2 jets. Also has 2 main drains...

Hello, I currently have a Hayward pro series sand filter. Model number S244T. It says on the label that the GPM filtration rate is 20. I have a 35,000 gallon pool and according to my calculations if I ran my filter 24/7 my GPM would be approx 25. Which is do run it 24/7 mainly because I'm trying...

So I'm just giving an update and another question. Fc been at 25-27. Cc at 2. I continue to brush and sweep. My question is: is the cloudiness supposed to improve each day cause it's not and hasn't been ever since I started?! The cleanliness of the pool has tho because when I sweep and vacuum...

I plan on keeping it at shock level until I have CC of 0.5 ppm or less and its clear.

So I tested my chlorine this am and my FC was 31 and CC was 2. Is this normal or common for my free chlorine to go up without adding anymore chlorine? The last time I added any liquid chlorine was Monday Evening. I don't have any tabs in the skimmer or in the automatic feeder either. Reguardless...

Ok got my kit test results are as follows. Fc 29 Cc 1.5 Cya- 55 Ta 160 Ph 7.4 Soo where do I go from here. My pool is still very cloudy. I continue to brush daily and backwash if needed.

Just wanted to give an update. I do not have my tf-100 test yet but have been checking my fc levels regularly with the dilution method. Fc levels are not dropping near as much as previously. Fc has been running around 24 if doing it properly. Tested this am and they were still 24. I have been...

The 6 way test showed chlorine a lot darker yellow than the test wild read to do I do t know but I m going to try diluting when I get home. Also I have web brushing, but not like what I read in pool school. Seriously this weekend I'm going to brush it a couple times a day.

Quick update. I woke up this am and quickly tested my water and it showed on a strip I had 5 of free chlorine and my total chlorine was high enough that it didint register on my hth 6 way kit so idk what that means. Ph was 7.1. I plan on taking water to get tested at store today after work, BUT...
