Agreed on it being in rough shape. I've gotten two informal quotes of 40-45k which I had no idea was a possibility it could be so high. We still want to keep the pool but that's a tough pill to swallow. One contractor walked around the coping tapping each section with a golf club for a sound...

50 year old gunite pool estimated 30k gallons Sand filter Chlorinator I can see the bottom of the pool in the shallow end (4') but not in the deep (8') Should I just put the safety cover on it, drain it, clean it or something else? As you can see tile is falling apart/leaking and as a result...

The biggest driving factor for me looking into SWG is the automation. Current electrical setup in links below. My pump is typically plugged into the outlet. I was wondering I got some Intermatic timer if it could control a SWG (thinking of a Pentair IC 60) and my Hayward pump. Could that...

Yes. I didn't put in any effort to drain the filter. I just adjusted the dial to winter and left it outside.

I had a Hayward S244T Sand Filter installed a couple years ago and now I'm having sand enter the pool under the return jets. I vacuumed 75% of the sand last week, haven't back washed since and I'm seeing more sand along the edges of the pool where I had cleared the sand in the past. Is it...

SLAM Process started 5/14 pump running 24/7. In the early days it seemed like I was well on my way but it hasn't been improving for that past few days. I was using a skimmer sock for a day or two but have since removed it as I believe it was limiting my flow rate too significantly. I've back...

I've left a few voice mails and emails with my local american leak detection franchise and haven't gotten any response. I don't want to spend much time trying to troubleshoot this leak myself and just want to hire someone. Old pool that came with house Concrete Anthony sylvan brand pool (just...

After filling the pool the filter is running fine. Now on to my next problem dealing with the green swamp that is my pool after not running the filter for a week.

Doh! That had crossed my mind earlier but didn't stick. I'm filling it up now.

The clog buster seems to have been a bust. It would seem unlikely to me that both lines would have gotten clogged. They don't share a common line until a foot away from the pump. That seems clear. The pump has moments where it seems like it is going to pull in enough water to prime but then...

I just bought a drain king (actually a clog buster) and I'll give it a shot tonight I hope.

I'm afraid I've done some damage. Warning beginner learning the ropes and terminology. I have two skimmers one in the deep and one in the shallow end which each have valve shutoffs. I went to vacuum the pool by hooking up the vacuum hose to the skimmer inlet and running the telescoping pole...

WARNING 1st time poster...I hope I've followed your rules well enough. This seems like a great forum. Last year was a mess, this year I hope to make owning a pool enjoyable to to have water that my friends won't hesitate to get into. Last week I opened the pool and dumped 10 gallons of bleach...
