Thanks. I'll have to see where the water finally stops draining and try to find the leak. It must be small, because I couldn't find any visible tears or gashes where the deer was trying to escape.

I have a 24ft round above ground pool that I closed a few weeks ago. Last night, a deer decided to go for a swim and jumped in damaging both the winter cover and liner in the process. It swam in circles and kicked against the wall for probably an hour or two before the noise woke me up and we...

Hi everyone Does anyone know where I can get a replacement screw for a Hayward powerflo matrix pump? I'm guessing this one came out from micro vibrations or something. I haven't been able to find anything successfully. Imgur Thanks!

the easiest way would be to just buy a ball valve with the 1.5" threaded end and a normal hose fitting on it, like this

We have a pentair quasar. Amazon.com : Pentair Quasar Aboveground Pool Light and Water Return with Color Lenses : Swimming Pool Lighting Products : Patio, Lawn Garden Its a solid 'ok' light. Not really powerful enough to fully illuminate a 24ft pool.

I certainly wasn't implying that it was right, just stating that it appears to have been this way since it was installed. I guess I need to call a builder to see what it takes to fix it. Unfortunately I don't have the time to don't myself, or I would give it a go (plus I've never installed one...

I should also note that the change in level is gradual as it goes towards the deck. There is not a single post that has clearly sunk or anything like that. It just appears to have been built this way.

Kim, I appreciate your honesty. Those are my thoughts as well, but I'm definitely looking for multiple opinions.

Hello TFP pros, We purchased a house last year that came along with a 24' agp. We were told that the pool was put up in 2012. This is our second season with it and I'm concerned about the pool not being level. We noticed the water line being slightly off last year and thought nothing of it. In...

Thanks for the reply John. Do you suggest replacing everything from the filter out with PVC, or just the runs I need to make to/from the solar panel? Forgive me, I'm a bit ignorant on how the fittings would all work in this situation. These are the diverter valves: Amazon.com : 3 Way Fibropool...

Hi All, I recently added a 20ft solar water heating panel to my setup and want to move it to a more permanent location that gets the most sunlight throughout the day. Based on where my filter and pump are now, I will likely need 15-20ft runs from the first diverter valve to the panel, and...

I did get everything cleaned up! http://i.imgur.com/RFH58Nr.jpg?1 water is a little foggy, but I'm still getting pH under control. thanks for all the help!

Hi everyone! I finally got my pump hooked up to the green lagoon to get the water circulating. This is only our second season with the pool, and I feel like the pump is louder this year than it was last year. This could be my brain playing tricks on me, but I wanted to check with you guys...

I got my CYA kit, and its reading <20 ppm. CC and FC were both zero. I got the cover off completely this weekend (which I found had ripped ~5 feet at one of the seams) and need to clean up some more leaves. Unfortunately the leaf vac I bought was defective, so I need to be a bit more thorough...

I just ordered the kit this week and it hasn't arrived yet. should I hold on putting more water in until I can test CYA?

Question around adding chemicals... I've cleaned up as much of the mess that I'm able to see, so I'm confident that the debris is mostly gone. I want to start circulating chemicals, but the water level is far too low to feed water from the skimmer into the pump. Is it safe to start adding fresh...

That is promising, thanks for the advice! looks like we have another few days of potential freezing temperatures, then I'll start getting to work.

Thanks for the reply! The pool is 24 ft round, 48" deep.

Pardon if this is not the right forum for this! So, we had a brutal winter here in Ohio. The snow started in mid-December and didn't melt until last week. At some point in time, the tie downs on our deck broke under the weight of snow and ice and the cover started to fall in. I was unable to...
