    Notice a small trickle of water today coming from the pool light junction box today. Looks like I’ve already lost a few inches of water over the past few days. The junction box is 14-18” above the pool level. Trying to figure out why/how this happened and what I can do to stop it. Searched...

    Discolored sections on pool floor

    Curious to see what y’all’s thought are on my situation. I have noticed a few areas within my pool that are a different color/shade. Below are a few pictures I took today in DFW on an overcast day. Also, below is my latest levels. At one point, I had my pH closer to 7.4 when our temps began...

    My Hayward pump connected to my pool/spa seems to be running just fine in our freezing temps here in Texas today. I noticed some ice building up inside my secondary pump that runs my waterfalls.

    Am I crazy? Being my own contractor for pool? (DIY?)

    Many of you gave me some input (thanks again!) on some recent pricing that I have received for our pool and how high prices are due to demand. Well, I visited with a buddy of mine that is having one built right now and he mentioned how the excavation, rebar, electrical and plumbing, and gunite...
