thank you for the guidance everyone! I will take action on the steps suggested above.

If I filled the pool up above the lights--it is loosing quite a bit of water--probably losing 6 inches a day? Not sure how much damage that is causing either. Pool has been at this level (about 6 inches lower) for the last week.

This is a 20+ year old pool that was installed by the previous owner. I have owned it for 11 years. Bottom of pool looks to be pool-krete while the walls are steel, I believe. Liner and pool lights are both leaking. I had an electrician who specializes in pools assess the situation...

Yes, FC (thanks). I just tested FC again this morning and it was consistent with last night (so I assume that I do not have a problem with CYA. I have an additional CYA test bottle--so I used that this morning--and of course, it registered at 70 CYA (as I expected). It looks like I have a bad...

The inlets by my stairs do not seem like a standard size. 2.25 is my measurement of the outside thread to the outside thread. Does anyone know where I can get these from?

A related question.. I would like to get anti-freeze into the return jets as an insurance policy as I am realizing that there is still some water in these pipes. However, without lowering my water further (2-3 more inches below the jet), this will be difficult. I dont have access to pour the...
