Hi all, just wanted to see if anyone had any advice on the best way to test for PH. I consistently find that when I test the pH in our pool with test strips, it will be perfectly in the normal range. But, if I also test at the same time with liquid drops, it’s usually high. Anyone else...

Thanks All, yeah, didnt hold long. Will see if my local pool stores are open. The other issue I am going to face is trying to get the broken part that is screwed into filter casing out. It snapped at the opening to the filter case so nothing to grab to unscrew. May have to call in a pro, or...

Thanks for the responses. This is a brand new custom in-ground pool. A picture of the issue is below. In sum, when the water level is at the recommended halfway point of the outside of the skimmer entrance, the water level inside the skimmer "frame" is at or above the opening in the frame...

Hi, we have a fairly new pool, and we noticed that one skimmer is always full of debris, while the other is not. In examining more closely, I think the issue has been that one skimmer basket is about 1.25 inches higher than the other (based on water level), which has resulted in the water level...
