Hi all- We're finally ready to work on the inground spa and replace some missing items from the pool. They've just been replastered and we're ready to replace whatever was missing. It looks like we're missing parts for the jets. We have several PVC pipes with nothing covering them. Looking...

Hey everyone! We are looking at either repairing or replacing the cover for our inground spa. The inner dimensions(tile to tile) are 96" the outer dimension ( outside the coping) is 120". The current spa cover measures 108" across and is 3 pieces evenly 4" thick (i.e. NOT tapered). There is...

Hi all - We're in MD just between DC and Baltimore. We moved into our foreclosure last April and proceeded to clean up the swamp that was the “pool.” Thanks to all of you we were able to swim all summer and into the fall. Since we're still in off-season we thought now would be a good time...

First, sorry for the potentially troubling thought of me having to pick animal bones out of my drain. We have finally gotten our pool clean enough that we can see all the way to the deep end. It sat for at least 2 to 3 years without being touched, perhaps longer if the prior owners didn't use...

Hi all - We are coming up to day 21 of our SLAM. We've been pretty good at keeping the FC in the 10-12 ppm range. A few times it went down to 6 or 8, but that was only 2 or 3 times when we were away for > 24 hrs. Our CYA is at 20, and the CC usually tests at 1.0. What the pool looked like...

Hi everyone, We've tried firing up this heat pump to no avail. Looks like it's getting power but not turning on. We're trying to diagnose the issue but it's difficult when we don't know what it is or where to find a manual. Looking at the stickers and searching the internet tells us it's...

We found this little guy on the suction side of one of our pumps (about 3" short of the pump filter basket). We're new pool owners, so it was probably our fault for starting up the pump without ensuring 100% that every plug was removed. There is about 6" of straight PVC right behind it, so I...

We've started the SLAM and everything was going well. Last night we powered down to clean the cartridges. When we fired up the system again we found that we had lost suction from the pool pipes. We have a spa as well but when we switch the valves to draw from the spa it works perfectly. Back to...

Hi all - We have finally gotten a chance to pull the cover back on our foreclosure pool, and are ready to move forward with cleaning it up. It has sat for 2+ years unused (but seemingly mostly covered.) We have run the pumps and filters and see that they work, and we have replacement cartridge...

Hi all - We just recently bought a foreclosure with an inground cement pool + spa. It seems to have been mostly covered, but there is still a lot of debris that has gotten in. I know that we'll need to get most of the leaf & branch debris out (and ensure there are no lawn chairs or similar at...

Hi everyone- We just bought a foreclosure with a pool and spa. We're in MD. Here's all that we currently know. Inground Pool 28x48 and 8' round spa. We believe the house has been empty for approx 2 years. Luckily someone installed a Loop-Loc cover on the pool and the spa has a thick fitted...
