I am taking the opportunity to do a pressure test before opening the pool. I tested at 20psi of air and it held for a couple hours. Overnight, with temperature drop, the PSI in the morning was 12PSI. Approximately 15 hours later. I did bucket test last year and did no show any visible results...

I've had some wet area behind the pool in my spruce trees for a while. It's not super well graded and drained but has not been drying. I also have one tree that has been stressed and appears to be dying. I've been looking at the grading, but just realized this might be due to the pool...

I am plannin to SLAM the pool this weekend after last use and putting in Jacks magic today. Can I shock the pool using the Salt generator increasing production to 100%? My other option is I have shock “proteam power 73” and can put in 3 bags or 6lbs for 30,000 gallons. From there I will...

First time owner of pool and first time closing. I just did a dry run of my closing steps and have a question around the main drain. I have a double main drain, with 8ft deep end. I attached a air compressor at 30PSI and blew out the main drain line. However only one of the main drains had...
