Thanks. I was scared lol

Thanks for your response. I’m more at peace now. I was scared because the motor felt hot to the touch when I turned it off.

Something terrible happened today with my stenner pump. I have been using the stenner pump for chlorine addition for the past 2 seasons now. I have it on a timer, in which I can program and also turn it on and off from my phone. It’s a large pump, so I only need about 3 mins run a day to get...

I have an inground pool that has a pool spa jet, for some reason, water keeps flowing through the valve instead of drawing air in to give the jet a bubble.

We usually buy liquid chlorine from the pool store here because it’s a refill and it was cheaper. I think I will start trying the sealed bottles from Walmart and co

I have noticed that anytime there is a so-called liquid chlorine scarcity (here in Canada) I notice that it is not as potent. It feels like it has been heavily diluted with water or something. I feel like this is not right since they have marked up the price. How common is this in your area?

As for photos, I will gladly post them once I have them. Right now, I plan to get a fish tape and see where exactly the plug is. Thanks for the comment

No, I do not. I tried blowing water back from pool with shop vac and the water won’t even escape through the pool pump suction side.

I was hunting a leak, unfortunately, I made a mistake by trying to plug off the suction side of the pump with a smaller plug, the compressed air lodged the plug into the suction side pipe and now I can’t not get it out. Is there any chance of me getting it out without a hefty bill? Thanks

I have been under the impression that liquid chlorine loses it potency after a while (12% liquid chlorine) but after closing my pool I found out that the chlorine still seem sharp even though it’s been sitting down under the deck for about 4 weeks. I guess my question is this: should I dilute...

Has anyone ever closed their pool late but still opened a green pool water in spring? Thanks

Any diff btw using closing kit vs balancing the water and then shock with liquid chlorine?

That’s what I thought too. I was only worried that before Oct hits, all the chlorine left in there would get depleted due to the sun that we get here and there in fall. Thanks for the response.

Is the tracks anchored down into the deck?

Is there any downsides to closing the pool around September as soon as the leaf starts to drop? I have a safety cover that keeps leafs and debris out but let’s water in and I am not sure if I should close early and open early. My neighbors tree starts to drop its leafs around sept 4 or 5, I...
