Is the pool tile grout normally sealed?

I am going to replaster my pool and while I’m at it it, I’m going to change out my tile and spillway. The company that is doing the plaster said they make a new spillway out of granite. Does anyone have a granite spillway? I have a friend with one and after 8 years, their vertical sides are...

I’m preparing for a pool and deck renovation. Re-plaster, new tile, new spillway (scupper), and re-do the cool deck. I’m most concerned with getting a tile that will resist the calcium buildup. Maybe glass, since it is the smoothest? I already use a water softener for make up and that helps...

I’m having trouble with my ~20 year old FNS leaking in various locations so I’m considering replacing it. Is there a better filter or should I just get a new one (FNS58)?

I have a Laars LT400P heater and when I turn it on, the fan comes on, then I can see the igniter glowing but the heater never fires up. I checked the voltage to the valve and it is getting 28 volts (should be 24). If the igniter is glowing, should all the other safety switches be satisfied and...

I'm having an issue where I no longer get bubbles coming out of the jets in the spa. If I use a shop vac and blow in to the vent pipe it works for awhile. I would like to know what kind of contraption allows air to be introduced in to the jets. Is it just a Y pipe and water going thru creates a...

Do you notice a dramatic decrease in CH and scale buildup on tile? I know that the water is going to be soft but during the regeneration process of the water softener, the calcium is replaced by sodium (salt) on the resin beads and I wonder if this is going to be deposited on the tile instead...

I have (2) 1.5hp whisperflo pumps and one has a 50uf capacitor and the other is a 30uf. Does anyone know what which one is correct for my pump?

I have the in ground pop-up jets but if the wind blows I get a lot of leaves and dirt in the pool and the pop ups just blow the debris around and it takes way too long to clean up. I was thinking of something quick and dirty that I could hook up to my skimmer and vacuum the bottom of the pool...

Hello, My pool guy says that my pool light is leaking causing my breaker to trip and he says I need to replace the housing and/or gasket. I checked this weekend but when I reset the breaker and turn on the light, the light comes on and stays on for a minute or two before tripping the breaker...

Hello, I am new to the forum but I hope to learn a lot from everyone. I've ordered my test kit and my goal is to be able to take care of my own pool when we retire in AZ. For now I have a pool service but I'm just not happy with the way the pool looks. While I am paying for the service, I will...
