Needing some help on the equipment plumbing layout and design. I have 2 2in skimmers that are separated, 2 2in bottom drains that are tied together, 4 1.5in returns tied together with 2in, 4 1.5in bubblers tied together with 2in, 3 3/4in deck jets fed with 1.5in trunk and a 1in for the slide. I...

It’s 52 to the bead receiver but 54 to the top of the wall. I’m starting to think someone has added 3-4in of sand to the floor plus the cove.

Getting ready to order a new pool liner and not sure what size I should order for the wall. Last time I ordered a 54 and had a lot of excess so I thought it was a 48 but apparently that’s very rare to have a 33 x 48 so now I’m thinking my floor may have been too high. Also it was a GLI liner...

The water level under the winter cover started to drop this spring then stopped with about 1ft left in the pool. I pulled the cover this weekend and found the liner had shrunk and was brittle (it was very cheap and was replaced 5 years ago. I then started to remove the liner and found a decent...

I am trying to figure out what is wrong with my spa, I found it today off and the 50a breaker was tripped (not the gfci portion but the actual breaker). Had a storm the night before so I thought maybe that did it so I turned it back on and it tripped again about 5 minutes later. So I turned it...

I was back washing once a day since the water wasn't clear, I will try every 3 days unless you suggest waiting even longer, just didn't want it to get clogged. I certainly didn't pass the OCLT 10:55PM FC=15 CC=.5 now 4:45AM FC=10.5 CC=.5 the chart shows I should be around 12 for shocking...

I normally backwash until the water is clear which normally takes 30-45 sec but the past 2 time I probably back washed for 1min since the glass wasn't ever getting cloudy. I'm working on the CYA I don't want to get it too high so I have been adding stabilizer slowly. I'm going to get some...

Hi, I'm sure I sound like a broken record but I have been reading for hours and am not sure what is going on with my pool. I started with a fresh fill this year after I put my new liner in around may. I have been on the BBB method for the first time and started when I filled the pool. I have...

ok, I will get my CYA up and that should keep me from loosing all my chlorine to the sun each day. My pool is in full sun all day so I would think I would want a CYA of around 50 wouldn't I?

26k and I used about 3lbs

OK, it really was all my fault I wasn't reading the tube right looks like I might have a CYA of 0, I will be adding some stabilizer now.
