Can't get a picture now, will try tomorrow. Not sure what caused it. It would be our luck to even have this type of leak. It's at the bottom of the light so I will see what I can get as a picture tomorrow.

The liner will be 4 years old this June.

I didn't want to start a new thread but I didn't find one that wasn't old to add my info to. My liner seems to have a small tear at the bottom of the pool light. The individual that found it fixes pool leaks and said the water needs to be lowered so he can put sealant around the tear, inside...

Each time I test the pool is in the morning before the sun hits it and gets hot. Just been misserable here. Thanks for the links. I'm going to follow them and pay attention this time and check the over night FC, but then I know it will go down since there is green coming up when I brush. I...

I'm not new to owning a pool but this one is kicking my butt. For the past month the water has been a little cloudy and when I brush the pool I get green coming off the the surface I brush. I checked my chemicals and all are good. So I slammed it according to the pool app. Ok, great in a day...

Thanks for this post. My Hayward pump is going out. Seems the previous owner didn't get a pump with the saltwater seal and it went out and is getting into the bearings. It is loud. So I just ordered a V Green pump from INYO pools along with a salt pump kit. It is great how they provide the...

The yellow bag as I posted above has Sodium Hexametaphosphate at 03%, the rest is pure salt. I got the information from its MSDS (material safety datasheet) It is my understanding is used to help keep the salt pellets from forming a bridge in your brine tank.

Ok, Thanks. Hopefully, I can keep getting the Morton's at Walmart. It is less expensive than the softener Crystal salt.

If I can't get the Pool salt at Walmart, they did have Morton salt. I was wondering it the Bright and Solf pellets would be OK to use. The only other ingredient is Sodium Hexametaphosphate at 03% The rest is Sodium Chloride at 99.97%. The Pure solar crystals seem to have some extra dirt in...

Thanks for all the advice. I'll check and see what concentration the MA I'm getting. I know Ace Hardware has it as well and is a different brand and is actually less expensive.

I've been trying to lower my TA. It is holding at 100 for some reason. PH is right at 7.5, CYA is at 60 and chlorine is at 8. The pool is a vinyl 32k inground with a sand filter. We just had the liner replaced this spring. Ever since then I can't seem to get the TA down. I've used...

I looked You Tube and Googled but didn't find what I was wanting. I have my Goldline SWG hooked to an Intermac timer. The pump runds 24/7. I was wanting to run the pump off the timer so that both would just turn on and off together and not run the pump all the time but from what I understand...

Jim, OK, now I understand. I'm going to see how things work out once the new liner is installed. I'll have to play with the adjustments and see how it goes. Thanks, Nick

Jim, I understand that. My question is there is no need to run the pump at a higher speed to generate chlorine for 24hrs. Isn't the whole point of a VSpump to save energy. So to run it for the needed 8 hours to turn over the pool and produce chlorine, then run at a slower speed to conserve...

Jim, This pump is all new to me. It is my understanding that the VSP is supposed to conserve energy by running at lower speeds at certain times of the day. Again, I'm use to a single-speed pump on a timer that I run basically 8 hours out of the day and off 16. If the pump runs at 1,500 rpm...

I guess I need to update my other thread on my pool leak. Turns out the liner is bad. All the plumbing has been pressure tested and holds pressure. The liner is 8yrs old, which isn't old I know. Just that we can't keep putting water into the pool off our well. For one it is high iron and...

I finally got the water tested. It seems our well water is high in PH. It was at least 8 and the TA was 200. This was straight from the well not through the water softener system. The pool had 0 stabilizer, which is what I expected since we have to add water on a weekly basis. Did a 24hr...

I'll see if they can get me the results of their test. I'll have to get both of mine and write it down and then post it. The smell is like rotten eggs.

As I have posted in my other thread on our pool leak, this is a new house we are planning on moving into in the future. Just need to get things straight at our current home first. This pool has a leak and I'm working on getting it fixed. My question is we have a well and a Culligan...

From what I can tell the pool lost about 3" in 4 days. The main drain was found to have some of the gasket material missing. They used what looked like puddy to fix it and when they came back after two weeks to check it since we still have a leak, the dye didn't get sucked in and just hung...

Looks like we still have a leak. Pool water goes down about 3" in 5 days. The main drain was rechecked and is good. So now to locate where it might be leaking now. Stay tuned.

Well after some long time trouble shooting, using dye and turning everything off, there was a leak at the main drain. Pulled the cover off and there was abut a half inch of gasket missing. Then found a leak at the aerators on each side of the stairs. Capping them off. What a mess it is going...

Sorry for getting back so late. I've been busy building a ramp so it will be easier to get our daughter into the house. Also now with this hurricane coming we are getting things ready for that. I'll do as directed and check the pump basket. 3it possible for the ball valves that shut off the...

After reading on here and looking at my system. I get air in my pump basket, especially when I put the pump on high. So that pretty much tells me that there is a leak in the pipes. I tried to isolate it from main drain to skimmers by turning off the main drain supply and then watching the air...

We have not been in the house, long enough to tell. When we moved in the salt was at 2700. It is currently at 3600, so with in the next few weeks we will see. I know it the salt goes down then there is a leak since it will not go down from evaporation. Same with cya.

We just purchased a home with an inground vinyl lined 25k gallon pool and a Hayward SP2602VSP pump with a sand filter and a Goldline Saltwater system. We came from about the same size pool with a DE filter and older 3/4 hp single stage pump that was on a timer and Goldline Salt system. At...

It is hard to help him for the most part since I can't get over there every day. He does have a small leak and has to add water at least once a week. But with all the rain we have been getting he hasn't had too. All the sticks he has in the skimmers, he has two, I bet that is what has gotten...

OK, thanks for the clarification. What gets me is how can his FC be so high when he hasn't added any in two days. I would think that it wouldn't be that high. Also, if it is that high, then why do I see a yellow type algae on the bottom and steps? I guess I just need to go over there and...

Sorry, not sure where my head was, yes it supposed to finish red but turned blue to a very light gold. I followed the directions twice and got the same results. Also I tried the 10ml as well as the 25ml for chlorine and got the same results. Yes, added the R-0007 before the indicator. I...

I tried to search but didn't find anything. I help out my next door neighbor. They are grandparents and have the pool for the grandkids. He has a 30k inground pool with VL and DE filter. The thing is when I test for chlorine, the pink doesn't go away when I add R-0871. I went up to 40 drops...
