I keep reading that these pumps are so quiet you have to touch them to know they’re running. Mine is 70db (via a couple different apps) and audible clearly from way over 100 feet away with a rather high pitched frequency. Sounds rather like a vacuum cleaner and is easily that loud. I’m...

I'm in desperate need of replacing my single speed pump on my very basic, 40 year old, concrete block pool. We have no intention of adding anything to this pool, as we'll be moving on from this house sometime in the next 10-12 years and just had the liner/walls redone. Signature below, but...

I'm hoping to gather opinions and ideas about the best way to proceed with our money pit, because we're getting closer to having our hand forced with a liner failure. I know this is a lot of info; I'd be ever so grateful for any input. We've been thinking about all this stuff for the past two...

Money Pit Part 1 - The Leak Summarizing is not my longsuit, but I'll do my best. I've read the leak detection pool school article and so many leak threads that I am totally confused about what means what anymore. We closed last year with a pretty hefty leak. The plan was to watch the level...

Having decided to open my pool myself (pool newbie), we decided to peek under the mesh safety cover last night. The water is relatively clear (has some gunk, but we can see the bottom in the 8ft.), not green, and is approximately 56 degrees. I've studied pool school, and done research but...

Gee, I don't even know where to start. We are closing in 2 weeks on a house with a pool. I've been here (and other places) studying, studying, studying. My TF Test Kit came today...whoo hoo. However, everything has been theoretical so far, which is a very hard way to learn. So, I come here...
