I have a black plastic trim piece (sort of like a deflector?) that goes around the pool just above the water line between the tile and the concrete top edge. In one area it started coming loose, it looks like it was put into the concrete when it was made, but I'm wondering if I could glue it...

Is there any problems with having an inground plaster pool too full with water, and how full is too full? I understand the skimmer won't work correctly, but I was curious whether it will damage the upper part of the concrete if it's overflowing, etc? Thanks!

Hi, I just purchased a new home that has a built in pool and spa. I'm completely new to owning a pool and I hope to do the maintenance myself, but I think I need to learn a lot first. I tested the water with a basic pool test kit and it showed the pH to be about 8 I think and the chlorine...
