    Chlorine level in salt water pool

    I’m vacationing in an house with a saltwater pool. I’ve never had a saltwater pool. I’ve tested the water with a 3-way drop test kit that I bought locally. It doesn’t show any chlorine level. Shouldn’t you be able to use this test in a saltwater pool too?

    Remove this maple tree or let it be?

    If the tree is northeast of the pool, I would leave it. Storms will typically blow the leaves away from the pool. After the helicopters fall in the spring the maple is a pretty clean tree. My pool had several trees around it and everyone always stated how pretty the pool was nestled among the...

    I believe it was something like this. They either made the ones for the bends out of the same material or bought something like the item below.

    Help - Coping Clips for Old Pool

    Try Cardinal Pool Extrusions at 570-385-1244. They used to make a version of this and supplied the clips too. This is their newer style. There was another company that made it too and I can't remember who it was right now. https://cardinalpools.com

    Hybrid Pool Fiberglass Sides and Concrete Bottom Convert to Liner

    I saw a full fiberglass pool converted once. It looked great. The owner had drained the pool and a big rain came which popped the bottom up without popping the pool out of the ground. They just just pushed the bottom back flush and added a thin layer of sand and put the liner over it. It took a...

    Air in return lines

    Yes, I've let the air out with the release valve a few times but it never helped any. The weir doors have been fine (I have 2 skimmers) and the water level is 3/4 up the skimmer. I guess I'll just wait and see if it happens again. Very confusing, I've never had anything like that happen before.
