    Puzzled by water loss over winter

    Good morning, I have a 18x36 in ground liner pool with a 9-year-old liner. I pulled my solid cover off about a week ago and was surprised to see only about 6" of water left in the shallow end. Luckily it didn't let go and its finally full and got everything up and running. I don't understand...

    Closing question

    I redid my plumbing this year and added a one way jandy check valve in front of the pump. When they go to blow out my lines while hooking into the pump obviously it’s not meant to flow that way. Do I take the lid off of the check valve and remove the flapper or turn it around to allow that?

    Time to dabble with borates?

    For the most part I have ph rise in my SWG pool. 5 days ago I adjusted Ph from 7.8 to 7.4 and TA from 60 to 70. today it’s already back to 7.8 and 60. So added more baking soda and Muriatic acid. Is it time to dabble in borates? Also concerning FC. At 40% on the salt system it’s been steady at...

    CYA question

    Curious why a 70-80 cya is recommended for a SWCG pool versus a 30-50 for a traditional chlorine pool?

    Replacement diving board

    Hello all, Near the end of last season my young kids were jumping off the diving board to me in the water and I noticed one of the channels under the board was cracked. Upon further inspection from the top there was a lot of spider cracking on the top of the board as well. Is there any issue...

    What is this

    Had the pool looking great, just got my SWG going a couple days ago and vacuumed and noticed what looks like dirt settling on the bottom of the pool. And more so along seams and creases. Pool opened blue not green. Is this algae or pollen or what? I would have figured pollen would be on surface...
