    Need new pump

    Traveled recently and appears the water level went too low and overheated/killed the pump. Or perhaps it was the pool guy's removal of the timer clips causing the pump to run 24/7.

    Leak?

    I've noticed the water level going down rather quickly - to ensure it is not my imagination, I placed a piece of tape at the water level a few days ago and also placed a bucket filled with water to the pool's water line on the first step in the pool...in just a few days, the water dropped...

    Trying to get things situated...

    Hello everyone, I'm a really new pool owner, new to the forum as well. I'm going through a second and more thorough reading of the "Pool School" and have ordered a new test kit (TF100) as the test kit I have seems to be lacking quite a bit. Anyways, the pool seems to be in overall good...
