    Leak Detection Theory, Assistance Please

    Okay, so I opened the pool this year and (unlike last year when the pool was full) the water level was just below the top of the pool light (which is also about the same level as the horizontal portion of the step gasket). I did some testing and it didn't seem to go below that and so my initial...

    Diving Board Replacement/Epoxy

    So I have an older (late 80s or early 90s) SR Smith Diving Board, "SR-F92" (which doesn't exist on the internet") but it uses a 14x14 square jig (and kind of looks like the "Supreme" jump stand). In 2018 I converted the pool over to salt water. Having taken a look at the diving board it could...

    New S300i

    Well, I just pulled the trigger on a Dolphin S300i. Local dealer wanted $1,493 (plus tax, of course), and Marina Pool, Spa, and Patio was only $949 with free shipping. I thought that was crazy not to do it. Poolpartz has the Active 30i on refurb for $899 without the caddy, and by getting it...
