I went ahead and did the pool puddy. It was easy enough. I did a bucket test for good measure. All is well, just hot and windy.

I changed the light yesterday at around 4pm. I marked the water level right after. I checked this morning and the water level has dropped a 1/4 inch overnight. Its been hot and windy but that seems excessive. Coincidence?... or probably a leak in that conduit? I probably ought to pool puddy it...

No go at the pool store but they are on Amazon. Anyone know a common size?

Going to go see if my local pool store has any of those. The peace of mind would be nice and that would be great if I didn't have to mess with the pool puddy

Yes I know :) ...but I edited my post and added the age of the pool. This pool is over 20 years old...ground shifts, tree roots, freezing? A few things could have cracked it. LOL There's not a lot of conduit..maybe 10 feet. Here's a pic of the relationship of where the junction box is to the light.

All went well with the replacement. It was easy and everything works just fine. My question is about sealing the conduit. About 4 years ago I had a leak in the pool. It took me a little while to find the sources. They were a handful of small holes in the liner. (Long story as to how they got...

She passed OCLT with flying colors!!!

Thanks guys!

I just raised my FC level to shock level of 16. I doubt I'm going to lose 1PPM overnight, but I did this to double check to make sure Ive killed the algae since I had to wing my SLAM. We swam in the pool over the weekend with FC around 7.5 and CYA of 40. So the FC wasn't too far out of the...

WELL Ladies and gents. I got my k2006 today. I just took all the measurements and I was astounded. Keep in mind, I completely winged this SLAM with nothing but this website and some basic dip strips. Using 5gallons of 12.5% to get to shock level and 9 gallons of 6% to maintain. I bumped PH with...

I am definitely going to do that to make sure. I'll check back in. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

So after winging this SLAM, here's how she looks so far.
