I’ve noticed that the spot is spreading though. I was thinking maybe before I do a complete remodel, I was considering doing the pool paint?

I can’t determine what this is. I took this picture zoomed in from outside the pool. Is it possible that the pool was worn down and rebar is poking through and rusting? I’ve hit this with a wire brush on my pole and I can’t get rid of it.

So we had a decent freeze here in North Texas. I have a Hayward VSP pump that has a error to check for binding on the wet side. I've pulled the pump basket and I can spin the wheel freely, I have also turned the fan on the back of the pump with an allen wrench. I've also unscrewed the discharge...

I'm in need on a new pump. I've decided on the Hayward sp3400vsp. I don't think I need the vspvr since I have a dual bottom drain system which should prevent any suction safety issues. Now I'm wanting to know the best place to buy one. A quick google search has swimmingpoolsupplyusa.com as the...

I have a test kit but it's 6hrs away.

I don't have my test kit so the results are from a Walmart kit. Anyways. Their pool is a 10k gallon above ground pool. It seems to be a shade of green and I can hardly see the bottom. Yesterday I added some Muriatic acid because the test kit showed it to be higher than ph8.4 below are the...

I also had a pressure side cleaner when i first got the pool. I have re-plumed it to the suction side to run a hayward vacuum. its working great. I only use my robot now for its wall and floor scrubbing feature.

For the most part yes. I am retro fitting an existing system at the house i just bought and converting the pressure non-booster line to a vacuum line. There is also an existing HVAC system that sits close which it preventing me from re-pluming the whole system. So for now I thought i best to run...

get something that fits over top of your skimmer basket, that why you protect your equipment. I just purchased the SkimDoctor 2.0 with the vacuum attachment and it should work well.

my Polaris 945 Leslie's edition can handle DE and any suction side vacuum can handle it. otherwise manual vacuuming is the only option

Im needing to fix/update some plumbing and was going to go with flex PVC for the above ground stuff. Where is the best place to get 2" flex pvc? Should i get sched 40 or 80?

Looks like I my CYA is too high... but there isn't much I can do expect drain and refill right? We are having so much rain hopefully it will balance out. For now I guess just shock to match the CYA at 80?

From Leslie's FC 3 Total Chlorine 3 CH 180 CYA 80 TA 120 pH 8 TDS 600 Pho 150 (he said this was high) They sold 2gal of 31% muriatic for $16 so I got that.

I ordered over the holidays so idk when they'll send it off, probably it'll ship out tomorrow.
