leaks

I live in South Carolina and the weather here gets cold but not so much that I worry about freezing. The coldest my pool water gets is mid 40s and maybe a couple times a year the pump kicks on at night for freeze protection. Anyways, I don’t close my pool, I just test it weekly and balance...

I bought a home with a large cement block pool. It is essentially an above ground pool that is back fill on two and 1/2 sides. It issue is it develops leaks quite proficiently. No one is my area knows anything about these things, and neither do I. There is a service in the area that will...

Hi there! I recently purchased a home and am a first-time pool owner. It's a saltwater pool, in-ground, and fiberglass. Now that I'm acquainted with the pool, I noticed that it feels like the bottom "sways" or "vibrates" when I walk on it (almost like there is water underneath/it's bubbling) so...

At first I was worried that I had a leak and that I hadn’t noticed til now because the hot air evaporates it before I get home. But I couldn’t...

A few weeks ago, I noticed small bubbles in water entering the pool thru the return lines. The lid on the pump strainer basket was lubed and tight (no bubbles there), so I called my pool service guy. He found a cracked pump impeller case and replaced it, but the bubbles remained. He changed the...

Help! We have a 3 year old intex ultra frame 26' round pool. Late last summer, we seemed to be hoping it off more than usual, but we knew our heading system dropped some, so we thought that was the problem. We made plans to improve it this spring. Our spring has been miserable, so we got a late...

Hi All, New to the pool game and we have a pool that is just about ready for PebbleTec. However, I’ve noticed that the gunite shell weeps water in multiple areas. Is this concerning? My mind takes me back to leaky basements and the answer never seemed to be just seal them from the inside, so...

Have lived with a 18x40' - 33k gal inground pool since moving into house in 1989. Pool was built in 1983. I had it replastered in 1996. In 2011, applied a DIY epoxy coating and then a 2nd coat 2015. BTW - I've heard lots of negatives regarding epoxy, but imo if prepped and applied...
