I never mentioned a kit, I wanted to know what is the best glue and patch material but what you posted is the garbage that I used and is coming up now. I have to drain the pool because I'm not going to hang out in 65 degree water for hours trying to find holes.

So nobody has ever patched a pool? Alrighty then.

A couple of years ago I had a deer get in my pool and wreak havoc on the liner. I ended up with about 85 patches. Most were small but a few were pretty big gashes. The vacuum has managed to pull up about 20 patches and I'm losing an inch a day. I can't afford a new liner and the water is just...

It turned blue this afternoon after I dosed it with bleach again. Hopefully I'm on the right track now. The filter and sand is only a year old but I took the valve off last week and I've lost about an inch or so of sand (I marked where full was on the outside with 700 lbs of sand.) I don't think...

So does a drop of 3 ppm overnight mean I'm killing algae? I don't understand why it hasn't turned blue like it usually does.

I drained over half the water in the pool over the weekend because of high CYA. CYA is now less than 30, probably less than 20 but the test tube only goes to 30. PH is about 7.1 and TA is 70. I checked free chlorine and it was about 2 so I added enough bleach to bring it to 12 ppm Sunday...

Ok I just did this about 50 times, no joke, and I think I have the technique down now. If I look away for a lot longer, like ten seconds, then I can definitely see the dot. I'm consistently get 70-80 so I think it's time to drain some water. This pool has been a pain ever since I built it 3...

I did it several times and get the same result. Starts to disappear at 90 and I THINK it disappears at 60. I look away for a second or two then look back. And this water is dirty. Greenest green you've ever seen. I'd hate to drain a bunch of water when I don't need to. I'll try it again.

So the test for CYA includes pouring "cloudy" water into the tube. Can dirty murky algae ridden water alter the results of this test since it will be cloudy already? This is the worst test because I keep thinking I see the dot. It starts to disappear at 90 and then I THINK it disappears around 60.

With the help of poolpartsonline I found it! It's an Aqua-Flo Flo-Master FMHP.

There is a pic.

Can anybody identify this pump? I need seals and impeller but have no clue what it is. It has 70001 on the housing and 70005 on the front cover.

That helps greatly, thanks! I just dug the footer yesterday and have a question about that. Im digging the deep end after i get the walls up. The inside edge is pretty jagged at the top so I'm gonna have to form up the inside edge of the footer to make it smooth enough for when I dig the deep...

I'm just starting on a 20x40 concrete block and liner pool and I don't know which return jets to use. How do yall do this? I've only had an above ground pool before and those jet "holders" had a flange on one side and a nut on the other and basically sandwich the pool wall in between them then...
