Sorry I am still learning about my pool. To clarify looking at the picture. I should add a T between the booster pump and ball valve? Side note, I don't use my booster pump at all.

I am trying to connect my slide from my inground pool to the existing plumbing. Right now I’m just using the garden hose, but if it gets left on the pool gets extremely full, I only that, but I am diluting the chemicals more and more. Where is the best place to plumb in a valve for the slide...

It is odd. But it only spurts out immediately when I turn the valve open. Must be from built up pressure.

All the returns to the pool are same. It’s at the same spot as everything else. When I turn the valve when the pump is running at its highest, a tiny amount of water will splash out of it. But maybe a cup full at most.

I have a slide I have added to our pool, I’ve just been hooking up the hose to it to run it for my kids. Obviously it adds water to the pool so I have to watch the levels and drain when I need to keep it but it is also diluting little by little. There is PVC coming out where the equipment is. It...

Good news, the bubbles in liner has gone away. It was because the water table was high. I have refilled water and have started my SLAM yesterday. CYA=30-35 FC- had to add a lot at first with what it was eating up, but I am losing about 4ppm today. Pool is very clear, and I expect to do my...

Well….the liner is starting to bubble. Huge bubble in shallow end, and some bubbles on sides in deep end. Looks like I’m getting a new liner. Frustrating because I felt it was going so well, and I didn’t let the water go a centimeter lower than 18” in the shallow end.

It’s actually going to rain the next 3 days straight so I’m going to start draining again and turn the hose on with the rain and see how much I can get through! Hoping to exchange as much as possible, even thought I can’t do it at one time. I also have no time frame so I can keep exchanging til...

My biggest issue is we live in the boonies and have a well, which I have no idea how deep. Last thing I want to do is burn out the well pump. For the amount of exchange I need, there is no way I can let the hose on that long. I drained the pool to about 18 inches above the shallow end before...

You have been so helpful i appreciate it. If the water exchange isn’t sufficient, and I don’t want to drain completely and have liner replaced, what are my options for sanitizing the pool for this summer to make it safe for us and the kids to swim in?
