Good evening all! I keep getting diatamaceous earth in the pool. The grids look fine but the flex tubes are questionable. I am attaching some photos of the tubes and have no idea why they look this bad. Once a season I hose them down (perhaps too much pressure), soak them in TFP and then...

hey guys. I have one anchor stuck and broken. I tried the brass anchor removal kit but when tightening down the new threeads got stripped. Should I just go one size larger with the tap and try again?

I am converting to Salt Water this weekend and many noted that the ladder Anchors will become an issue. I have regular metal anchors in stamped concrete. Replacing will be challenging. Is here some sort of mainnance that can save them?

Sorrry. Just saw this now. I gave up. It held unitl this week and let go again. When I went to tighten the float assembly broke. SWG Delivered today. Thanks anyway!

I seem to have an ongoing problem with the "in" hose to my liquidator slipping off. I kept forcing it on and screwing down hard to no avail. Any little touch seemd to knock it off. I use pipe dope to prevent air bubbles. Hoping the hose stretched, I cut 1/2 an inch of the line off and forced...

Thanks guys. If this is normal then no worries. I just recall the green being darker and thought something was wrong. This site taught me so much that I get nervous when something seems different. :roll:

Thank you. I did try an additional drop of the R-0008 just to see and it did not change the color. I wasn't really expecting good results by doing this because I assumed it would skew the results, i.e. how many drops of R-0009 would be required. Based on your response, it sounds like this...

Good morning. Per my recent test, my alkalinity is at 130 ppm and I am in the process of bringing it down to 110 with muriatic acid and aeration but I have a question about my testing. I have a brand new TF-100 Test kit that is stored properly (inside house). When I performed the test I...

Just to put some closure on this thread. I had a pool guy come by and give me an estimate $100 - $125 to fix. With that price I figured I would let him do it and take the advice on ealier posts to wait and see. The morning the pool guy was coming, the liner went back exactly with no extra...

I woke this morning to see the water level down about an inch. This tells me one of three things (I'm sure you may think of more). 1- I do have a leak and that is why the water is behind the liner or 2- The water behind the liner is resceding and making my pool water look low or 3- I drank too...

Hey guys! I woke up this morning to see my pool liner floating thanks to Hurrican Irene. :grrrr: Pictures attached. I'm not 100% sure why, but am almost certain it has to do with the water table. I had well over 14 inches of rain in 24 hours. I do not see any large tears nor do I see any...
