We are moving forward once again! We've had a very productive weekend. The replacement pump housing came in Thursday evening... However, we couldn't install it (not for lack of trying lol). The PVC that ran from the filter to the pump didn't match what we had picked up at Lowes. The old stuff...

Great idea with the straw broom. I've been trying to move the water around a bit with my leaf net...that only seems to move the surface though! A new housing has been ordered through ebay today (much cheaper and quicker than the pool store)! It should get here in less than 4 days...lets hope!

We are going to see if they have a replacement pump housing. The bottom of it has a crack running the entire length of it :(. We thought about ordering one online..however, other than putting bleach and stabilizer in we haven't been able to cycle the water at all. So we are hoping they've got...

Gasket kit was purchased and installed however, no gasket kit in the world will solve the 8" crack running along the bottom of the pump housing! Three days of fighting with it not priming...Thursday no luck, Friday bought gaskets and disassembled it today just to find the crack. Off to the pool...

No video...thank goodness and yes it will be worth it! My kids already think they're mermaids. They are dying to dive in!! So test kit came in today!! A day early whoot whoot! If...I did everything right (husband said jokingly "we would need a degree in chemistry to work this kit") Also, this...

I will look into that. Thank you Cowboycasey:cool:

Seems to be a new adventure everyday! After getting the breaker replaced yesterday (we changed both...breaker for the light as well as the pump). Decided today was as good as any to get the pump and filter going. Filled the basket part of the pump with water, made sure skimmer valve was open...

Thank you! I'm dreading next months water bill!

Today's pool adventure... We found the old pool light gasket was shot. The light was out dated and those particular gaskets aren't made anymore (says the pool store). So we decided to go with a LED light. It was installed and kept throwing the breaker. Hmmm new breakers. Not such a bad idea...

Kimkats it really was its own ecosystem! We were able to relocate them. There is a farmer down the road from us, he allowed us to put them in his pond. We also took a bunch of them to a local petting zoo/animal rescue for their pond. Hopefully they are all well and happy lol! As far as all the...

The video will be great! Thank you! I'm heading to youtube now!

Thank you for the welcome! As soon as the test kit gets in I'll get some numbers on here and see where to go from there!

Re: amcnulty new to pools Thank you all so much! I will be on my way to Walmart shortly for some stabilizer, as well as bleach. I will post numbers as soon as my kit gets in...and i figure out how to work it lol!

amcnulty new to pools Hello all. I am new to pools. I have recently bought a new (to me) home, it has a pool that hadn't been touched in about 10 years. Drained it, pressure washed it, had pool company pressure check plumbing, replace sand in filter and acid wash it. The pool looks great now...

Hello all! I've been checking the site out, trying to absorb as much as I can. I've got sooo much to learn. Bought a house with a huge in ground pool that hadn't been touched in 10 years! Well, days of collecting frogs, newts, salamanders and tadpoles -you wouldn't believe how big bull frog...
