Bump

Any recommendations on what kind of fiberglass repair to use on my slide? It’s right at the top on the side where people sit before sliding down, so the repair has to support some weight. It flexes as you sit there what would you recommend?

So my pool has been operating perfectly for many years, and I’m fairly well educated on pool knowledge and DIY fixes. I’ve opened and closed my pool for years and tracked down and fixed many problems including air leaks, and priming issues. So with that in mind, I decided to help a friend open...

Actually thought about that after writing this. Gonna give that a try tonight and see what i come up with.

Nope. both have 2 holes at the bottom, but both only have 1 open. The other is sealed, so they both have separate suction lines that combine together underground before the inlet on the pump

I am almost certain i have a partial blockage in one of my 2 skimmer lines, as the pull is strong from one skimmer basket and always collects leaves, however the further skimmer basket barely collects anything and you can see theres barely any suction. Furthermore, when i plug up the strong...

There should be little covers at the bottom of the skimmer where you can block the hole to any degree you like to change the amount of water being drawn down the suction line. If you partially cover the one thats drawing the stronger amount of water, it should shift the suction over to the...

Air is only coming out of the step jets. The main return jets have no bubbles. It makes sense if there's air leaking, even though I have the little screw air vents sealed, but what would cause the massive increase in pressure when turning the valve to steps only. Shouldn't it be the same size...

18x36 inground pool Plumbing is as follows -Two skimmer baskets on far end of pool, no main drain -meets together in a T fitting at the pump and goes right into the pump as 1 line -Hayward 1.5hp superpump (Ive suspected this is overpowered, and i need a 1hp) -exit of pump goes into topmount...

So we properly winterized the pool, have plastic bottles and everything in the skimmer basket to avoid cracking problems, and we have a Mesh Pool cover. Drained the pool to about 4-5 inches below the skimmer line before the winter hit However, after having a very mild winter, we've been socked...

Ok got it. I'll try to get some work done on it this afternoon and into the evening (just turn on the pool light) but i guess i'll get as much as i can done tomorrow, and then get in the water with the wetsuit for whatever is left. Then i'll let the dolphin clean things up before slamming it...

So do you recommend just keeping at it with the leaf net until theres minimal that i can see, and them maybe sending in my Dolphin to get whatever else is down there? Its just tough being that i cant really see the deep end of the pool, only shadows of approximately where the leaves are. I...

Struggling with this. We have 2 large trees near our pool that pretty much PUKE leaves in october. Unfortunately this year, with the drama regarding getting our liner replaced, and then subsequent leaks we had to find and get fixed, we had the pool open much later than we usually do. The pool...
