I’m told most of the leaks in pool plumbing are located within 3-5 feet of the skimmer or return lines.

I also have pavers I need to partially remove so that creates a whole new headache for this effort

My soil is fill I brought during construction so a trencher should work fine. Sounds like it’s ok for the pipes to go at different depths. What’s the bonding wire requirement? I have a bonding wire coming from the pool light I think but didn’t know I need to attach the pvc pipes to it. Where do...

So a trencher tool will allow me to go 24” deep at the most, will that be deep enough? I realize the skimmer pipes will be deeper than that, will it be ok for me to angle the pipe and bring it up to 24” level and then run it at that level all the way to the equipment?

Hi Bill - this is extremely helpful, thank you, I was planning to cut a new trench and run new lines instead of messing with the old ones, will a trencher used for installing sprinkler pipes suffice? Also what equipment did you use to pressure test?

I’ve decided to replace my inground pool’s plumbing as there is a leak when I run the pump, I lose about 1 inch of water overnight when I run the pump. I’m planning to run new pvc pipes from the skimmers and return jets to the equipment. Appreciate any suggestions or tips before I get started on...

I’ve had a leak in the pool’s plumbing for a few years now, I lose about an inch or more every two days, this only happens when I run the pump. Since there are pavers around the pool, are the pool repair / maintenance companies able to restore pavers also or should I have the pavers removed...

I had a tenant look after the pool for the last few years. What caused this, too much FC levels for a prolonged period?

Is the reading at the SWG usually higher or lower than actual level?

How do I tell volts and amps? At the unit?

The reading is from the SWG, I have a Hayward Aquarite with a T-15.

I’m currently at 3700, how do I determine what the salt level should be?

Pool liner is now white in color, is the color permanently lost or is this a reaction to something and can still be salvaged?

Restarting the bucket test, forgot to turn off my automated water hose which turns on for a half hour every two days
