Have a 20 x 41 inground pool with steps and concrete walls. It needs a custom liner and last time (10 years ago) I did it myself but I don’t want to DIY this time. I opened the pool and noticed the water was lower so I’m also have a pressure check on the main drain. Is 8000 including the...

Last month a big storm took down a tree which missed my new pool shed but cracked the coping of my inground 20x40 pool. The lip of the coping is broken off and I'm wondering if I can do something for a temporary fix and then think of something more permanent. I think the bond beam is intact (I...

I think the pool was built in the 80s maybe 70s. There is a metal conduit that I’ve exposed and has some corrosion. It almost looks like black pipe (for gas runs). Has anyone seen this type of conduit before. I need to extend the wire run for use in a shed to house the pool equipment. I...

Does anyone know the common tubing size I would need to get for the FNS Plus air relief valve? I can't seem to find it and hoping to avoid trial and error on this. (This would be the black valve at the top)

I can't seem to use the search in the forums, just says error occurred when I do. Anyone else experiencing this or is it just me?

First of all, this is an inground pool approximately 21'x41' Rectangle with sloped hopper, concrete Vinyl over stairs in low end. I got a bead on the stair treads and installed the track myself (that part actually came out VERY well). My ultimate question is can I leave the liner in a halfway...

I drained the pool and took off the liner. As i was stepping on the bottom my heart sank as it went "squish". I thought the pool was above the water table (there is a stream a lot lower I thought). In any case, there is a good sized circular break popping up and a black membrance underneath...

I am replacing my pool liner on a 20x40 pool with vinyl covered steps. The liner I have has pulled away at the top and basically looked awful. There is only going to be a few inches (maybe 1) of water on that top step and I'm pretty scared it will happen again. I finally pulled the liner back...

There used to be a Polaris (I think) in my inground pool. The booster pump was dead and has been removed and the Polaris was never seen by me. I've capped it off but I am thinking of a pool cleaner now. To buy a new booster and cleaner is a bit out of my price range, but I was going to look...

I decided to try a local pool store instead of Leslie's. I walked in, knew what I wanted (in this case, muriatic acid, Cyanuric Acid and DE). I asked to see the concentration of the Muriatic acid and the guy said "how do you know all this stuff?". I responded troublefreepool.com and another...

How many of you have replaced the pool liner yourself? I have a 20x40 with covered stairs and I'm debating the professional versus DIY method. Roughly I can find a liner for 1200 versus paying a pro 3200. My issue is also time, I'd have to use vacation days to do this (I'm a father of 4...

I have installed a new pump and even valve, I have had to screw in the connections much tighter than I thought. The one that appears to leak is the one from the top of the pump to the valve. I have a PentAir WhisperFlo 1 1/2HP (up-rated) dual speed pump and DE filter. The pipes are 1 1/2 in...

My Emerson 1 1/2 HP is making noise. Sounds like someone else's issue and the research I've done is either bearings or something is going. In any case. I think I can replace the motor for $200-$300 if I hunt for a good price. However, it cost a TON to run last year (first year we've owned...

I bought a house and the pool is great but there is a AquaCal big sqaure black heat pump that looks like on the inside the compressor is cracked (I guess it froze and broke)? Anyway, has anyone had these repaired? If not have you removed it and with what? The thing is huge! Any ideas would be...
