Looking for some advice. I had a problem last summer with a leak. I had a leak detection company come out in March before I opened the pool. He found the leak in one of the screw holes for the light. It’s a wet niche light. He tried to patch it but told me it probably wouldn’t work because...

Looking for some advice here. I have a 26,000 gallon in ground vinyl liner pool. I'm located in NJ. I closed the pool in September and lowered the water just below the skimmers. I noticed in the last snow/ice storm we had a little while back that my solid cover was sagging way more than I've...

Hi All. Hope everyone is having a good summer....at least better than the northeast where it seems to rain every day! Anyway, I was having a problem with water leaking from my pool to the tune of 1" per day on bad days with no one swimming and very little sun. So I had the pool company that I...

After deciding I didn't want to deal with used DE backwash anymore I thought I would try Fiber Clear. I thought I would share this in case anyone else is contemplating it. I gave my filter a good cleaning first. Since my skimmer is not functional, I have been adding DE for the past few years...

Hi All. Hope everyone had a good winter! I took the cover off my IGP this weekend and saw that either I lost a substantial amount of water or the company that closed my pool took out way more than they usually do. I had 3-4 inches left in the 4' deep shallow end. I saw a couple of pretty big...

I'm looking into replacing my Intermatic dial timer with one that supports a remote control. My timer currently only runs the pump motor. I would like to get one that can run the pump off a timer (multiple intervals) and that I can remotely operate (wireless) the pump and a pool light...

I took a FC reading earlier today and using the FAS/DPD test it came out to .5. I was thinking that I could see a greenish tint coming back and that I either didn't get rid of all my alge from a few weeks ago or it came back. I added 2 182 oz bottles of bleach around 7:00. I did another test...

The plastic steps in my inground pool have a seal between the steps and the plastic trim piece locks the steps to the pool. It appears to be white silicone. The seal is coming out. Is there a way to repair this underwater? I'd hate to have to drain the pool that far at this point. Sean

Test results from 5/31... FC=2 PH=7.4 TA=180 CYA=40 These results were from a pool store and agreed with 5 way test strips that I have. Test results from 6/5 FC=1 TC=1.5 PH=7.6 TA=90 CYA=<20 Over the past week or so, I added a ton of bleach (based on the calculator) to clear up green algee...

I have a 26000 gallon inground vinyl liner pool that I opened last weekend. I essentally did the same things that I have done for the past couple of years which is to check the ph, shock using a powdered chlorine shock vacuumed etc. After a couple of days, the water still looked a little...
