    Decking to tile to pebble...seap crack fix?

    Help with proper fix/product. Started with a suspected pool leak. Did't intend to pull tile off, but hollow sounds made me suspicious and the loose tile coincide with the sidewall cracks in pebbletec. Above each of those areas is an expansion gap in the decking. I'm no pro, but it seems to...

    Leaks!!!! Help

    Are you able to identify the parts with the yellow handles. If I turn the water off here but keep running the pump will this be bad? This is a brand new pool, they set the pump to run 24hrs a day while they cycle out the acid wash on the plaster. This morning I went out and water was...

    Fixing a leaky outlet from a DE Filter

    Hi! The outlet pipe coming out of my DE filter (FNS Plus 60 sq. ft) has a slow leak where indicated in the photos. From the parts diagram it looks like the leak is coming from part numbers 28 or 29 where the pipe meets the filter. I'd like to detach the outlet pipe from the filter housing but...

    Slight leak at screw fitting on sand filter

    Hi Folks, Looking for some advice on a small leak. I replaced my filter last year, and am seeing a small leak (1 drip every few seconds) from the screw-in connections as shown in the picture. I used a reasonable amount of teflon tape, though it seems the screw-in fitting went all the way in...

    Beginning the Bucket Test

    Hi all, tonight I am beginning the bucket test. Last Weekend, I was out on the deck and heard the skimmer "gulping", I knew the pool was low-ish but didn't realize it was that low. Topped off the pool, to come to this past weekend and the pool is at that almost too low point again. So tonight I...

    Leaking pool (guess is underground plumbing at skimmer)

    So we have been losing about 2 inches of water with both the pumps running AND the pumps being turned off in a 24-hour period. It stops at the skimmer. We plugged the skimmer hole up with a rubber expansion plug and lost no water. I'm assuming this means that there is a leak in the plumbing? We...

    Pool leaking only when cold & pump is off

    Title pretty much says it. We had the same problem last winter around December & paid to have sonar leak detection. They patched the holes in late December. By February, it had leaked again. I’m talking 8-12 inches a month kind of leak. The pool guys said basically they had no clue— the patches...
