One_knight, it's ok. I know it's easy to get information confused from different posts. No auto fill on my pool. I haven't had the chance to check the water meter yet, but I have been keeping an eye on the levels in the pool and checking the hole in the patch. In the last 2 days, it has gone up...

I will need to check the water meter when I get home today. Thank you for that info, one_knight. It is definitely not an auto fill leak. As I said before, it is a leak from a patch in the wall. Funny thing is, I checked early this morning and I couldn't see any flow coming out of the hole like I...

Well, I just found a leak INTO the pool, from a patch in the side. I was using a flashlight and could see it flowing from about a half inch hole, in a patch on the wall. It is about a foot below the skimmer.

Within the last week or so, the water level in my pool has risen about 2". I have a 23,000 gallon, in ground, gunite pool. It is fairly old, but I'm not certain how old exactly. The house we just bought, was built in '79. I'm not sure how it could be rising by itself. It hasn't rained in...

I just stocked up on 121oz, 8.5% bleach for $7.99/3 bottles at Costco, here in Sacramento. By far the best price for bleach that I could find since I haven't found a pool store near me that sells liquid chlorine.

Well, I figured out what all the setting are on the controller. Yesterday I tried it out, with a ladder going to the roof to check things out. I have about 10 small leaks in different panels and one large leak in a main pipe. I know how to fix the pipe, but need to figure out how to patch the...

Hahaha, I hear ya there. Which is why I was hoping someone on here may have used this controller at some point in time. I can't even find a picture of it on the Internet, just to find out what the knobs are. Should I try a new thread with the name and model number instead of something as vague...

Thank you for a reply. Yeah, I wish I could post full resolution photos, but Photobucket really took down the size and quality of the pictures. I'm pretty sure I know how the pipes are routed now and how the valves work. I would mainly like to know if anyone has used the Fafco controller I have...

Anyone look at those pictures? Help?

Anybody? Do I have this question in the wrong section?

I am willing to learn anything to help keep things running properly. I've shocked twice since starting and have been trying keep the chlorine at around 2, although the last couple of 100+ degree days in direct sun have used up the chlorine faster. My phosphates were at 2500+ when we bought the...

I have pictures of the controller and the pipe configuration, but not sure the best way to post them on here as there seems to be a small size limit on pictures.

My wife and I just bought out first home. I have spent the last 2 weeks prepping the pool to be opened for the first time this summer. After getting through an algae bloom, high phosphates, high CYAs and finally balancing everything out (been getting help from Leslie's Pools), I am now wondering...
