    Do I have a leak?

    I am in Southern Ontario. I use a winter safety cover. My inground pool has a line that goes to the main drain at the bottom of the pool. I lowered the water just below the jets at the end of September and blew out all of lines etc. I put anti-freeze in my return lines and in the line that...

    Air Pocket in Pump

    Need Help Cleaning - Organic Matter / Algae

    I have owned this pool for many years. Every year for the past couple it's the same thing. 1. A yellow layer covers the walls and pool bottom. 2. I push it with the room to the deep end and it moves like a cloud of dust. 3. I think that I get it cleared up but then it's back again after the...
