Well it was a hole in the liner over where the ground was always wet, found it when I was brushing the walls.

Thanks for the insight. I don't have an underwater flash light, and when I did the dye test I already had the light out of the niche. After using the Pool Putty I didn't move the light for probably a week or two (it sat on the deck above), so I don't think it was messed up while the putty was...

Definitely not the multiport. I get the same water loss when the pump isn't running as when it's on (leading me to think it's structural). Also, the multiport waste out is plumbed to go to the left of the concrete pad.

Okay, so I opened the pool this year and (unlike last year when the pool was full) the water level was just below the top of the pool light (which is also about the same level as the horizontal portion of the step gasket). I did some testing and it didn't seem to go below that and so my initial...

My thought was that the carriage bolt head would have to pull up that much more epoxy to fail vs. the threaded rod that could in theory just pull straight up. My next wondering is if I've got 1/2" x 6" 316 stainless steel threaded rod bolts with no head, how big a hole to drill? I saw an...

So I have an older (late 80s or early 90s) SR Smith Diving Board, "SR-F92" (which doesn't exist on the internet") but it uses a 14x14 square jig (and kind of looks like the "Supreme" jump stand). In 2018 I converted the pool over to salt water. Having taken a look at the diving board it could...

Dear Moderator: That wasn't a phone number, it was the SR Smith Model #. Besides, it's one digit too long to be an actual phone number. For those who can help, I'm looking for Model # 688-209-58124.

Hi all! We are doing a pool renovation and expanding the concrete decking from 360SF to around 2,000 SF, and am also looking at bringing our current slide out of the 1990s. I'm pretty sure I want Turbo Twister, but was wondering if anybody in the forums has a connection where I could get...

Maybe a silly question on some of this: Can the EasyTouch and ScreenLogic be mounted outside?

Oh okay, cool. Yeah, let me know what he can do. A kit would be super. I will not be putting these on my roof, so some of that may not apply.

Expansion capability is important as I'd like to get up to 100% of surface area (plenty of wide open sunny space here in my yard) and that way I don't have to spend all the money at once but could reap the benefits as I make the investment. I don't plan to dis-mount any panels from the racks...

Okay, happy to go with 10' or 12' sheets. 12' preferred but could work with 10'. Was thinking 20' sheets would reduce the number of sheets/add-on panel kits, etc.

Hello again! With the help of this forum I recently upgraded much of my equipment pad, added SWG, will add EasyTouch probably next year, and am now wanting to iron out the details of my future solar setup. I saw a lot of recommendations for the Solar Bear, but on the Fafco site I'm confused...

All, thanks for the responses. Yes, it's a Pentair IC60. No heater. Will likely add solar in the next year or two. Jim, it's not the electricity for running the cell at night, it's the electricity for running the pump at a higher RPM/GPM. I don't believe in the turnover myth, I guess I just...
