    Pump outlet leaking

    I got home the other day to a massive leak at my pump, had 1.5 inches of water in my shed. Basically, the union piece screwed into the pump outlet doesn’t seem to be holding anymore. If you screw it in, at some point it just won’t tighten anymore and will just get loose again. The threads seem...

    How to measure how much bromine to add

    So right when everything was great and I had mastered my pool chemistry... I got a hot tub! And now I'm reading and am more confused than ever. I went to the store to get bromine, the person explained I could get either tabs but then I had to buy a second product to activate, or I could just buy...

    Should you put bleach in a pool with no pump running?

    My pool equipment had to be disconnected as part of my landscaping project because they're going to relocate them inside the shed. I'm not sure when they're going to be able to come back and take care of it, so meanwhile my pool is getting pretty green. Is it OK to dump bleach in it or will it...

    So recently we had some landscaping work done and we were going to relocate the pool equipments as part of it. They got disconnected and the contractor could not put them back in place immediately as we were waiting on our shed to be built and we were going to put them back in there. So the pool...

    Return jet direction

    I searched through a bunch of threads about this. I found many, but none that seemed to have the same configuration as I do. Some guys recently came to fix a leak. In the process of searching, they messed with the return jets such that my pool now looks like a wave pool. lol So trying to see how...

    Solar blanket for a pool with stairs in L shape

    My pool has stairs that come out to the side to form an L shape. Is it worth buying a wider blanket and cutting it, or should I just get one the size of the main part of the pool and leave the stairs uncovered? Does it make much of a difference as far as heat retention and evaporation goes? I...

    How often do you have to add water to pool?

    This is my first season with a pool. It's a 12' x 24', around 9650 gallons (36500 liters). We had a leak early in the year and they came to find it, there were a few screws missing on the stairs and that was supposedly it. I watched for a few days after and seemed the water level did not go...

    First test with Taylor K2006 kit

    So I just did my first test with the my new Taylor kit. Below are my results. I'm using the Pool Match app and trying to make sure I understand this correctly. When I go for FC recommendations, it tells me "add 1490ml or 1.5 liters by volume to reach your target." What do they mean by "by...

    Warrior SE App

    this may have been answered somewhere but I couldn’t find anything. What is the app that can be used with the Warrior SE? There’s no mention of anything in the instruction manual that I can see, but there’s a Bluetooth icon on the power supply so I assume it’s possible? Another question, is it...

    Pool cleaner for 12’ x 24’, 6 ft deep pool

    Hi all, new member, first post. I just got a pool and it’s my first time owning one. It’s a vinyl liner pool, 12’ x 24’, 6’ deep in the deep end, L shaped pool (the L shape just being because of a larger set of steps). When purchasing the pool, I feel we got pretty poor advice. One such advice...
