I ordered from four seasons and got it delivered in two days w/o issues.

Thank you Although it's a third party selling through Amazon I feel safer going through their platform. I'll giver it a shot. Thank you

Hi, I'm looking to order bromine tables for indoor pool and they seem to have gone up in price significantly in the past few years. It looks like poolsupplies.com has them much cheaper than other popular outlets but I'm feel uneasy ordering there as they have rather abysmal reviews on BBB. I...

It sounds like I need to refrain from painting it. Since I’m not going to be using the pool as the house will be sold eventually I’m trying to discern what is the most economical way to put it back to commission. What kind of expense it is to get it replastered or to have the few hollow spots...

I have a project on my hands. It’s an in-ground pool and that’s about 40 years old. I have no records of any repairs, improvements, etc. It was filled with water but unused for the past 15 years or so. It held water and we drained it was it was green with leaves accumulated over the years. Now...

Given water level is now below skimmers and there are two suction ports (in the pool floor) and two supply jets (by the skimmers) would it that eliminate the skimmers as potential root cause? If I were to isolate the circuits and pressure test the plumbing I guess the supply ports need to be...

PipeFuze sounds a bit like snake oil to me. I'm yet to find a successful real life application of it. I'm more inclined to hire leak detection pro for 500+ if I don't figure it out this week. One company told me they require clean, functional pool with at min 80F water. I guess they dive to...

Since I had never addressed the problem last year (due to many reasons) I'd like to give it another shot. I did some measurements for a week in March and the water level drops about 0.25" every 24h when running the pump internally (no solar panels) . Pool size is 15K gal. Area around the pump...

Well, I can rule out the pump as the culprit. I’ve lost about 5 inches of water in the span of 1.5 weeks. Another detail I neglected to mention I’ve been installed running solar heat panels. I’ve just noticed a leak in one of them. Will have to investigate it further. I do have two skimmers.

I'm going to run the pump today and take note of any water around it. But even if the mechanical seal was broken, causing the leak wouldn't the water leak above ground/concrete? We've lost hundreds of gallons so far, which it would have been noticeable in the pump room if that were the case, no?

Not much water around the pump, other than occasional superficial water around it. Is the mechanical seal inside of the pump?
