Great...thank you! That definitely makes more sense. I just placed the order!

My equipment pad is about 10ft above water level. Last year, I didn't properly winterize my slide line it cracked. It's been replaced but the pool company that closed my pool felt there should've been a valve at the bottom of the slide to aid in closing it. So the jerks cut my line and...

I'm strongly considering having someone close it this year. It's not the cost...it's that I take pride in doing things myself. We'll see. That guarantee is nice though!!! Really the cost of this fix isn't that much - probably $1,200. I just hate having the yard dug up and the kids can't use...

Rented it from SunBelt Equipment Rental. $200 a day but I rented on a Friday and returned on a Tuesday (Memorial Day weekend so they were closed Monday).

Yes, it worked very well. I was going to buy a camera on Amazon but American Leak Detection out of Pittsburgh was able to fit me into their schedule on short notice. Their camera is detectable from above. They are able to tell exactly where the camera is and the depth. Turns out, mine is...

So this is the 2nd major problem we've had. The first was a slice in the flex pipe that wasn't noticed during installation. A season of lost water and torn up concrete to fix the leak. This was the builders fault and he fixed it - Questions about a possible leak....#frustrated I closed the...

Well, to close this out, I figured out a decent solution last night. I bought a rubber hose (so it folds up easily) and put valves on both ends. I hooked it up to our laundry sink and ran water through it. As water was coming out, closed both valves. I carried it out to the pool deck and...

I understand what you're saying. That's not easy in my situation. Our spigots are turned off in the winter for freeze reasons - and the distance to get hoses out there is far. If I left a 2nd hose in place, it would freeze up and not be usable (until a warm day thawed it out). I could...

Thanks but what do you suggest as a "water source" that will suck the water up and into the hose? I've considered doing this with a Water Transfer Pump but it will have to self-prime as the hose will be empty. Self-priming transfer pumps are probably in the $500+ range and not what I'm...
