So my big suction leak is coming from where the pipe feeds into the pump. Is there a way to attempt to fix this without replacing the pvc? I'd really like to try some things before it comes to that if I can. If not, what would be a reasonable cost to have a pool company fix it when I get a...

Hello, Note - all the equipment was here when I got the house a couple years ago, I have no clue when it was installed, or any history of the pumps. For the water feature pump - I have a US Motors 1081 Pool motor, connected to the wet side of a pentair 011515 (whisperflow?). The pump doesn't...

Hello, I have an existing intermatic t104, however, it is for my water feature pump, not for my filter pump. My filter pump is a pentair VSP, with its own built in timer/scheduler. In any case, can I essentially Daisy chain off line/leads from the existing t104 into a new t104 so I have a...

So I've decided to get an swg, but will have to replumb this section to go vertical (or would it be ok to go off to the left? Would I have to have any support under it if I did shoot about 18" to the left?) There problem is, there's not really a good place to cut for me to simply put a 90 bend...

My sig should have the pool details, but just in case... ~ 13.5k IG plaster. Phoenix AZ, so lots of heat/sun. Right now, being the midst of summer I'm using ~ 1/2 gal of 12.5% daily. Looking back in my poolmath summary - it looks like I use ~60-70 gals/yr of 12.5%, which comes to ~$300/yr in my...

Hey everyone, going into my 2nd year as a pool owner. Thanks for all the help in the past! Today I'm just wanting to do a sanity check on my chlorine usage. I'm going through about 2.5 gals of 12.5% chlorine a week. Pool is 13.5 gal plaster in ground. Cya - 60 And I'm in Phoenix so it's hot...

So I've had a pool for a few months now, and have been following the TFP method every since I started, and everything has been great! The pool is always sparkling, thanks! Now I'm wondering if the quantities of chemicals I'm using sounds about right... I'm in Gilbert, Arizona, so we get lots of...

Pics attached...So we just got a house with our first pool a couple months ago, and now that I've got the chemistry and equipment basics down, I have a new question... there's a gap maybe 1/8"-3/8" in size almost around the entirety of the pool between the tile & pool deck...I don't believe it...

So, I meant to post this hours ago, but got lost in the dolphin s200/active 20 thread haha. I want one of those, but might have to wait until next season. What I have now is this cheapo intey suction Crawley, which seems to work ok, but the weight keeps falling off, at which point it just...

So I recently picked up some 10% strength from my local Fry's for about $3/gal, but I think it may have lost some of its strength. Someone mentioned a date code to be in the past, but I cant seem to decipher it. Anyone know if these numbers indicate the date at all? Thanks!

So, first off, a big thanks to you guys for helping me figure out my chemicals. Now that I drained/filled, everything's pretty stable. That said - I have no idea what the current schedule for my Pentair pump is, or how to modify it. I tried reading the manual, but couldn't really make much...

Since my CH and CYA we're through the roof, I went ahead with draining yesterday afternoon, and started my fill last night. I expect it to finish the fill in the next 6 hours (roughly). So, while I wait for my pool to fill, I figured I should plan my steps out once it's done filling. I have...

So, first off, I'd like to thank the community for what I've already learned from reading the helpful articles. I have a ton of questions about the pool that came with this house I purchased, so I'll try to keep it organized. The previous owners always rented out the property, and didn't share...

Just bought my first home with a pool. I don't know much about it yet, but it's roughly 15' x 25' with a max depth of maybe 6'. Hoping to learn a lot here in the coming days and weeks to keep it in good shape!
