I seem to have developed a small leak in my in ground pool and can’t find it. I keep my pool covered with a solar cover, so very little or no evaporation and in the past the pool lost water very slowly due to regular usage when the cover wasn’t on. And it’s been a very dry Spring and no use in...

I recently installed some solar panels (DIY). I thought I had everything up and running correctly, but now not sure. The valve to divert to solar appears to work correctly and turns on/off based on the solar temperature setting. However, I noticed today that when the pool gets close to the...

I have rust stains around my skimmer plates and can’t determine the cause. The stains are mostly near the water line on the outside of the skimmer plate, but also a little below the water line and a couple spots on the inside of the plates and a tiny bit around a couple screws too. I had the...

When I opened the pool this year there were some rust spots on the skimmers. Both on the inside edge of the plate and and the outside edge in isolated spots. I took a few screws out and its not the screws. The pool is 4-5 years old and I have noticed this in the past a few times, but much less...

A week or two ago I added a bag of salt and didn’t notice it was a bad (really dirty) bag of salt till most was already in the pool. It made the water cloudy, but a lot settled out in the bottom of the pool over the few days it wasn’t used. I manual vacuumed, but the particles are so fine they...

My pool is 3 years old and has an Easytouch controller and Intelliflow VS+SVRS pump. Is there a way to set the priming speed? There appears to be a setting in the Easytouch for priming speed, but it doesn't appear to do anything. I really don't like the pump starting up and running full speed...

Starting up the pool for the year and still getting things balanced. I seem to have an issue I don't remeber having in the prior two years. My SWG is off due to very low salt - 2500 ppm on the display. However, the salt test kit is showing 3200 ppm (still a little low as I am working on...

I have been following TFPC method since I got my pool 1-1/2 years ago. However, it is unclear to me if I need to shock the pool at opening or on any other frequency. I have a salt water pool and I open before it gets very warm. Additiinally, I have the high end Merlin mesh cover that...

I have a water bubble behind the liner along the water line and I want to pop off a couple feet of liner to test the water and see if it is caused by a leak or groundwater. However, I am having a hard time getting the liner out of track without damaging the liner. Any suggestions? I read...

My pool is about 1-1/2 years old. I have never had any issues till now...thanks to following the advice on this site for general pool care/chemistry. Just today I noticed a relatively small bubble in the liner at the water line. I know it wasn't there a couple days ago as I cleaned the...
