    Odd picture in pool bottom

    let me ask you about this floating, it has a stamped concrete faux rock decking all around it, there is one spot where the decking has either dropped or lifted, about 2" at a expansion joint. Do you think that is a sign or could that just be the decking moving? The soil there is horrible and...

    Odd picture in pool bottom

    I agree but in our market (Texas) askers and checkers just get passed over. I assume it will need repair and I have to factor replastering in. I just cannot find a pool guy to give me a rough estimate on replastering.

    also it's about a foot long and say 8" wide, not a heel print, too large for that

    Odd picture in pool bottom

    I hear that, but at this point no way to check for leaks in this buying situation. Also no idea if it's losing water except they had a portable autofill hanging on the side. The owner is deceased and it's an estate deal.

    Odd picture in pool bottom

    Hi, I am looking at buying a home, the pool has this in the bottom, I took a picture but honestly I cannot tell what it is besides it appears that the concrete looks like bigfoot stepped in it and cracked the bottom. Please tell me some thoughts because if this is a crack, can it be fixed with...

    Plaster condition and algae

    Hello, so my water is sparkling clear at all times, but once warmer weather hits (Texas, haha), I start getting that nasty light algae on the walls of the pool. It really doesn't matter on chlorine levels, I can keep it near 10ppm and it still will start when it drops below 4ppm. My ph is fine...

    S300 is this normal?

    Take a look at the pictures and tell me if this is ok? I called the dealer and they said it's ok. One day I noticed that I could see the white roller and I never saw it before (I think). Just doesn't look right. This is the larger front roller. My cleaner only has probably 30 hours on it, I...

    CYA and tablets

    So my CYA finally went below 30 or let's say to zero. I have added 6 tablets to the chlorinator ( I have only used liquid for the last two years), so those 6 probably are not going to raise it much? In 2 weeks it still doesn't register at all.

    Dolphin S300

    yes it's not perfect, but it sure works better than my old Hayward Viper which did a good job of cleaning. This is a lot better, scrubs and it did get all the sand. I do have to brush the swim deck, but that's ok, takes a few seconds. Also I tried driving it, that is not an easy task, it's...
