    Long-term pool close?

    Is there such thing? We're thinking of "retiring" our pool. We don't want to get rid of it, but we also don't want to keep maintaining it as it costs money and because no one is using it any longer (sad). How would we do such thing?

    What is this part's name?

    The suction cleaner was stuck at the main drain today, and I had to pull it to move it away. Maybe I do need this vari-flow. Does it provide more suction?

    What is this part's name?

    I don't know what this part is called. I found it attached to a "Hayward skimmer adapter cone" (part# V093C). My "Zodiac G3" pool cleaner does not move around anymore because of not enough suction. I cleaned the skimmer basket already. Maybe some kind of clog in the pipe? Thoughts? Thanks.

    Removing rust (?) stains?

    Removing rust (?) stains?

    Hi I have this rust (?) spot/stain in the attached spa. I read that you can use vitamin C tablet (ascorbic acid) to clean this. Is this ok? Secondary question: What caused this? Thanks!

    Lazy, so I need a once-a-week thing to maintain a pool.

    I've been pouring liquid chlorine for 2 years and I grew tired of doing this. Main reason is the hassle of buying them (buy, drive to Home Depot, drive back, pour them daily, splatter them on cloth ruining it). On top of that I needed to brush and vacuum. So much work (you can argue it's...

    Need repair or patch this but don't know what material

    Hollow area is about 4 by 3 inches. I have not done any plastering. Grouting yes, tiling long ago.

    Need repair or patch this but don't know what material

    Well I have drained the pool (because of unrelated issue). It's dry right now.

    Need repair or patch this but don't know what material

    This is the pool floor. I think it's also plaster. I also see small crack now that you mention it. I don't know the age of the pool, we bought this house 2 years ago. Would this work? https://www.homedepot.com/p/Pool-Patch-3-lb-White-Pool-Plaster-Repair-Kit-WPP3/204506693 Thanks.
