Yes, I’ve been getting the runaround for over 2 months. Being told that because it’s an old pool it’s a different skimmer fit and there’s nothing they can do about it etc. etc.. But I’ve also gone elsewhere willing to pay to have it repaired and still silence.

They came when we were not home and put the putty on to try and cover the rust and it looks even worse. Water has never looked bad so we went a very long time without testing. We are just now figuring that out. One place said pH too high and we put a cup of lower pH in it and two days later...

2023 season we took up concrete, had professionally installed new skimmer and new liner and a salt system added to our inground 18 x 36 pool. It was all completed, but the end of the season and we closed the pool. I had always been told you didn’t need to do any work with the saltwater pool and...

So 7/21/17 two days ago I tried the absorbic acid on rust stains at the bottom. This morning I have wrinkles in the liner on the bottom. Leak? Chemicals? What do I do?

I filled the pool back up and it went down an inch in less than 24 hours. I am now hooking the vacuum up and creating a bottom drain and see how much it slows down, if any. Being that the water level is still in the skimmer it may not slow down, but if the water level gets below skimmer and I...

That is a really neat idea!.....But I don't have steps :( I suppose I could measure lines I mark.

We bought a home with an inground 18x36 pool. It is well over 20 years old. Liner we are told is around 4 years old. Last year was the first time it had been opened in a few years. I have replaced the filter and pump, cut off the polaris line, we have no bottom drain. The skimmer shows...

That area behind the hole is a crack. This could be the source of air in line and lack of suction using vacuum plate. You think so?

- - - Updated - - - She must have a pin hole air leak somewhere then. What I fail to understand even if what you have said is true is how an air leak that isn't significant enough to prevent the pump from priming to begin with would be significant enough for the pump to lose prime. The only...
