The pool ALWAYS looks clear, even when chlorine was 0~, same as the picture just above these posts... I've got my ph @ 7.4 right now and chlorine @ 4, my CYA is below 30, it's honestly so low I can't test but if you go through these posts a couple of the mods recommended 4for chlorine, I'll get...

Hey guys, been awhile. Pool was running fine for the last 8 months or so, run the pump most of the time on low 24/7 because the pool would get cool otherwise (-20C here atm) but the reason I'm posting is somethign weird is going on... I have been monitoring my pool for the last 8 months, it's...

The spa is below the open pipes in the room. (attached a picture) The room with the pipes is the open door with light on in the back right. My only problematic thought here is that if I fill it and there "is" a leak and I toss the pump in, should I dump it outside or in my pool? I'm just...

Just fill it with water, have a submersible pump ready and waiting to dump water if needed? My only problematic thought here is that if I fill it and there "is" a leak and I toss the pump in, should I dump it outside or in my pool? I'm just worried about how long it's been down and what could...

I'm down for a project. I basically just want to be sure the unit doesn' tleak first I would guess right? Why do you feel it will be a big project? I'm fine w/ re-plumbing if required, would it be smarter to run like a second smaller filter or should I run it through my sand filter?

So I'd like to thank everyone who has helped me so far, hopefully we can continue! This one is a little different than the pool, albeit same thing... Not working lol! When we did the walkthrough, the guy that owned the house said the following : SPA cracked due to over-heating, un-usable...

So I have a vacuum that does me no good... It's el-cheap-o, the pad for the skimmer it game with doesn't even line up with my hole, in order to vacuum, and doesn't have enough suck to pull out of the cracks! right now I need to literally dive in myself with the end of the hose and clean my pool...

For aerating, I have a water slide, it's not anything crazy but it will crack the surface.. Would that be enough to consider or would I be better to make one of these contraptions?

So now that I have my pool manageable, still have to epoxy a leak so I am re-filling about 1/2" every 3-4 days (waiting for the pool to warm up lol) but currently while I top up ect, I can keep my CYA ~ 30 and my FC ~ 4 but my pH continuously skyrockets to well over 8.0 every few days, which to...

So I'd like to thank everyone for all the help, made some huge progress! Pool is finally as complete as I can make it right now, got the new pump all plumbed in (pictures included) , pool room is all tidied up, pool is balanced, unfortunately I had to hire someone to find the leak and it turns...

I found a location for the bulb and gasket, 70$ for the pair. -_- Will wait until I replace my liner though because the niche needs to be replaced (or at least the cover on the niche?) due to a leak, thank you for the assistance with this and the clarification on everything. :)

I would still need to wait for it to drop past the light right? I don't have a waterproof flashlight nor the die or a scuba set that I've seen in any of these "leak detection" videos lol.... Blah... I really hope I can fix this. D: If the leak was in the liner, it would be rather simple to...

I uploaded a video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJNWxrHlXmg So basically just let it drain until it stops and it's gotta be there hey lol... Rather unfortunate circumstance yet again, this house is full of surprises... Although, now that you say that... When we moved in, the water was...

Look for any wet spots where? (Sorry if I'm not thinking outside the box, I just don't understand what you mean) It's an indoor / in ground pool so visually, (in my head) aside from draining the pool and replacing the liner I'm not sure how I could tell. All of the drains are under concrete so...

Well I definitely have a leak, the bucket dropped about 1/16th of an inch, the outside of the bucket dropped about 1/4... So what's the next step to figure out if it's in the liner or in the pvc or what? It seems small but I don't want it to get worse either...

Possible leak? or just evaporation. I hate to ask but I need to know if I'm crazy or if I have a leak... I haven't had to replace the water very much since I got my pool running properly and got my sun cover for my pool, now today I looked in after the pools been down for only two days, and...

Cleared it up in the next post, awaiting input.

Ordered up that sexy 2 speed, already on it's way. Is there a point in me dumping/testing chlorine right now? :/ Without the water circulating will it still affect the water properly?

Sounds good, I assume the 1 speed only runs on high. :P Thanks for your assistance dave, that specific unit runs the same power as my current one so I'm going to get a reader and test everything (found how) and providing it IS getting the power it's supposed to I'll just hook it up. Thanks a...

Yeah I just noted the difference and updated my link. You would definitely recommend the two speed over the 1 speed?

Oh ****, there is a timer here for this unit.. -_- I didn't even think about that! I don't know if it works or not but I can't see why it wouldn't. They have that pump at our main canada supplier with free shipping, I think I'm excited now. Edit : This one haha...

I was looking at the VS pumps so that I can program them to run a couple times a day to keep the water moving (lazy) but power here is 4.944¢/kWh, I don't know how that compares to the rest of the world... It sounds cheap so maybe a 2 speed pump would be the better option, now I don't think a...

Just a wee pump, I know you guys are probably tired of me but this is a whole other issue haha. :P

So I learned some new things today... I should have replaced the pump when I had the opportunity. I shouldn't have trusted the pool guy when he said hose was as good at pvc pipe. The pump gave out again (ran solid since I last had problems) and it had to have happened in the last 12hours but...

I appreciate both of your feedbacks. :) I'm going to dive down with some goggles tonight and take a closer examination. As far as the flickering, would that be because the light was not submerged/improper bulb or would that be wiring? The fixture, would my local hardward store have a...

Cool, thanks Jason. :)

So just posting because my sock is now empty and it's been ~24 hours, you said about a week so to me something's going on in my head. However, could it be because my water is 28C? OR does it dissolve quick and just take time to get through all the water and show a proper reading?

Jason, Thank you for clearing up my terrible terminology, so then I suppose it's the faceplate on the niche that I need to replace (I added the pictures I forgot). On the picture with the zoomed out fixture, you can see the screw hold on the top, the screw hole that it's supposed to go in to...

So now that I've got my pool running and good to swim in, I've got a problem that I can't seem to find a fix for on google. I need to replace the housing that the light sits in(under water), the previous owners broke the brass screw hook so the light doesn't actually have anywhere to fasten...

Hm, well that's good to know, thanks again everyone. :) I'll try to keep my pH ~ 7.5! :) I took off the two jets that were moving all of the top water, see if that helps.
