    Leaking Return Jet

    Here is a picture of my return jet with the water partially lowered. Also the parts that I have. I put one of the white gaskets behind the return jet in the picture (not behind the liner). Pool store told me the grey cardboard style should replace anything behind the liner, and no gasket was...

    Leaking Return Jet

    I have an inground pool. I've started trying to do most of the maintenance myself but it's a learning curve! tldr: return jet leaks even after new gasket, need advice to repair. Liner is about 10 years old, but has had no problems so far. About a month ago when the air started getting drier...

    Yellow/mustard algae

In addition to the purchase cost ($186 USD with a couple of add-ons) I paid only the HST and the forwarding fee. I had to upload the invoice and...

    Yellow/mustard algae

    Sure, @Eauclaire. I am using Shippsy for the first time, as they have a depot in my city. But they will also mail to your home address. The kit arrives to their Niagara Falls location on Thursday, so I should have it sometime next week, to know the total cost!

    Yellow/mustard algae

    Thanks all. I'm going to finish out the current treatment plan, then see what kind of impact this all has on chlorine use when I get the test kit. The pool liner is in it's 11th season. It's faded but otherwise in good shape. But if I have to replace the water anyway, perhaps I can push it off...

    Yellow/mustard algae

    :mad:! I should have mentioned quantities, in case that matters. 2.2 lbs of Aqua Eliminator, which is 80-100% Sodium Bromide. Exact amount withheld as a "trade secret". Any thoughts on how much water will I need to replace? And what are the implications of not doing that? New to this pesky...

    Yellow/mustard algae

    10-year pool owner. Have relied on pool stores, but taken a minimal approach to additives. New to TFP. All summer, I have been fighting algae. Recently, I determined that it was most likely yellow algae, based on how often/how quickly it came back. So, a couple of days ago, I treated it with...
