    Pool leak or evaporation.

    Hello I dropped water level around October. Took 1st pic Dec 9th and 2nd pic today. Due to the drop of my above ground 10k gallon pool here in east Tennessee, was wondering if you think i have a leak or is it evaporating? I was also adding 30min of water every 2 days last summer.

    10k chlorinated above ground pool. I keep a sump pump circulation water to prevent freezing during the winter after dropping the water level. We enjoy the tranquility of the water running/circulating. Looking to invest in a good one because the one i have no longer works. Suggestions are very...

    Manual Pool vacuum recommendation

    That sounds like the Pool Blaster catfish i had. I did also use a pool sock on top of it. It just could not contain much and hoping to find something more powerful that might even have something finer than a sock to catch smaller particles. Or some homemade ideas.

    I need help figuring out what this clouding issue is.

    Ok, did not know the white plastic was metal and a magnet made it dance. The "pill " is now in the shape of an X . When i saw the guy add it in the video, not thinking much about it, i thought it was a chemical of some sort i guess. Also i reread the alkalinity range and see i stated...

    I need help figuring out what this clouding issue is.

    ok, got the TF100 kit, read instructions and felt thoroughly confused being more of a test 8 year test strip user. Watched 10 year old videos from company. Reread laminated instructions and here are the results. Keep in mind my pool is always clear but has that white stuff sitting on the bottom...

    Manual Pool vacuum recommendation

    Sorry, i overlooked this. I did not. Still looking for feedback, a maybe small hand held cleaner with a fine filter or maybe even spending much more four a Nautilus i guess.

    I need help figuring out what this clouding issue is.

    So for several years i have had this issue. This white powder settles on the floor of my 10,000 gallon above ground pool. I was using Zappit 73% Cal Hypo Pool Shock and HTH 42034 Super 3-inch Chlorinating Tablets. I was told by our local pool store that they thought the white stuff is a...

    Hayward Pro series model S166T cover handle broke.

    I have a Hayward Pro series model S166T with key cover handle assembly spx0714ba. My handle broke and i will have to order a new one soon but has anyone ever retrofitted something to work temporarily? The handle broke at the neck so i can not get leverage to currently do a backwash. Thanks

    Manual Pool vacuum recommendation

    HI, i have a 10,000 gallon above ground pool. Had for 8 years now. I purchased a Pool Blaster Catfish 4 years ago, its a manual cleaner to get what my skimmer may miss or pick up debris so it allows me to not backwash as much. So its time to replace this due to several issues with it. Can you...
