Any suggestion?

Here is the pool

I have a vinyl pool with fiberglass stairs. I hear gurgling or some kind of sound on both sides of the stairs and when I press a certain locations near the flange on either side the sound stops. Does that mean I need to replace something to correct it? Anyone have a video showing how to do...

I have a vinyl lined in-ground pool. I bought this pool heater and noticed the ph needs to be between 7.6-7.8. Is that normal? Rheem pool heater good? (I know it's part of Raypak). If my FC is less than 2 will that damage the pool heater? If my CH is less than 200-400 will it damage the pool...

Will this heater work? In the instructions it say 90ft. at 1" pipe. If I'm only using this for gas at the time and not the furnace will it be ok? Where is the cheapest I can get this? Raypak Digital Natural Gas Pool Heater 200k BTU Electronic Ignition P-R206A-EN-C 009216 P-M206A-EN-C 009962...

The problem is my gas pipe is too small. I'm hoping a 266 btu raypak would work.

Is the length from the gas meter in the lamp post to the pool heater? IF so it is about 80' away. I called the gas company and they said 7 wc. So the only wat to get a 250but is to increase it the line to 1 1/4"? Is that internal dimension?

The gas meter is about 30 feet from our house in a lamp post and the gas line from the heater location to the outside of the house is about 50 feet. How do I find out the service pressure?

I have a 27000 gallon pool, gas line is 1", and want to know what btu heater I can buy and what brand or model? Thank you!

Texas- Thanks. That worked! But it still doesn't answer my question about ideal. Or am I stressing too much over nothing?

pooldv- When I read about ph some say 7.2 and others say 7.5 - 7.8. But what I'm trying to figure out to have less algae issue should it be 7.2 or closer to 7.8? Also will either be ok for kids?

I did pick Traditional pool, Vinyl, and Bleach and there is a disparity.
