    Anyone know what this (valve) is?

    Thanks so much @wireform and @gkw4815 -- I really appreciate the help on that...I took it apart and the diaphragm does look a bit damaged so hopefully I can grab a new one and swap it out. The other thing I'm guessing is that the check valve past this must have failed because this only leaks...

    Anyone know what this (valve) is?

    It used to leak when water was being added by the intellilevel device that maintains water level I think but it has recently started leaking whenever the pump is on. It leaks at the seam so I’m thinking maybe I could replace the gasket?

    Who is still swimming?!?

    So, my pool hit 60 the other day which I felt was a bit too cold...but it's been back up to the mid 60s since which I still find plenty comfortable once I get the blood pumping. Who is still swimming and what are your temps running? Do solar panels work at all at this time of year? I've read...

    Help with new pool design (SoCal...south OC)

    A few stills of the aquabrite...first the pool: ...and the spa (almost filled): ...a close up of the aquabrite and the tile... ...a cool shot showing the tile along the benches and stairs...the bling is pretty awesome, even better in person. You can also see part of the pool cover...
