Sometimes its hard to see in the cylinder if its at 10mm or just at it but the concave part goes under the 10mm (and hence not really at 10mm?). I thought I saw some product you can insert into the cylinder to push excess water out (well i guess Im not sure how it works, maybe someone can...

Hey all, 2nd time I've done the TFE-100 kit test. Hoping someone can help. Pool has been a bit cloudy past week. My dad says its a 35k gallon pool. I added a bag Clorox CYA stabilizer via the 'sock-placed-in-filter' method last week to raise my CYA. We have had a bit of yellow-green algae in the...

I am gettin' tired of replacing those cheap quality blue hoses. I heard some people are using firehoses, I might be interested in that option.. But before looking at that option, I was curious... Can you attach a pool cleaner hose with some sort of middleman attachment?, I'd like to use the...

Hello everybody, We have a concrete pool from the 1960's, about 30,000+ gallons. and pretty sure its a painted pool as I remember someone coming to paint it 10 years ago. Since its lasted 8-10 years since the last repaint so I *assume* epoxy (and not rubber). Although I painted the top 1foot...

So those blue hoses are pretty flimsy and develop holes in them pretty quickly once a little kink forms when backwashing. I was thinking we already have so many 'hard' skimmer hoses lying around that can be connected to form a 100ft+ hose... Is there an small attachment we can add onto the...

Hey all, Past couple years we been having tiles fall off off my parent's pool. Today a bigger chunk of cement actually fell off with some tiles. Video below: Just curious what you think I should do for a temp fix ... and permanent fix. Temp fix questions: Well i guess my first question...

I was looking for some alternate means to light up the pool at night for the occasional one-time-per-week night swim. So only need to use it an hour or two per week. We don't want to use our pool light at the moment (as its old and no matter what new replacement gasket we get, we keep getting...

Hey!, I really like the Barracuda cleaner, but it gets stuck on some things on the bottom of the pool floor. So if i leave it out there an hour, 2-3 times it may happen so its kinda annoying that i have to baby it and watch it vs multi-task and do something else. Its usually a few small plugs...

Hey everybody!, Had a question. Took a video of the skimmer area of the pool as might help explain: My random guess is the weight of the cement slab on top of the skimmer is weighing down more on one side, which is causing a crack to form inside the skimmer? If so, whats a good way to lift...

Hey all, have an old light I'm replacing the light on for my parents. Its says its a CHD model 100-5 500Watt 120V (its an old swimming pool maybe from the 60s or 70s, seems like this housing is an older one). I'm guessing this is the part diagram for it...

Hey all, 1st post here... Thought I'd post and help out my parents for things they don't how to fix :). So one of our pool jets (on the return valve) broke off and we haven't attached it for a couple years since my parents don't lower the water in the winter below it. There are 2 return jets...
