My pool is probably 10 years old or more, and of course the concrete has cracked in several places (my theory is from the crazy amount of rain and floods we have had in past few years). Also, I have never really been a fan of the boring "concrete mud" color that untinted concrete has. Just...

So I've read a few threads about weir doors here, and more than a few people have said their weir door is missing. 1. HOW?!? It's not like it could get sucked down into the skimmer. Maybe weir door theft is a thing? Or perhaps someone needed an emergency frisbee alternative and plucked it...

I searched for the terms, but didn't see anything on this, so hopefully I am not duplicating. When my booster pump is running, if I put my hand in the water, directly above the vacuum port, I can tell there is quite a bit of air escaping from behind the plastic/rubber fitting. A couple of...
