Hi forum members, Unfortunately for me, my inground pool is leaking 4-6" of water a day. Leak expert came and identified several sources of the leak at various points where the fiberglass wall meets the plaster floor. At those points, there is a caulking/epoxy compound that seems to have...

Just opened up the pool and did my first test with my Taylor test kit. Pool is murky green and I needed to add about 2-3 feet of hose water to the pool with garden hose to get pool water to correct levels. So, here are the test results. cc = 0 fc= 0 ph 8.2 ta = 80 CH = 120 cya = 0 I know I...

I took off the mesh loop loc cover off and water mostly gone except for the last 3 ft or so in the deep end. Up here in New England has plenty of snow on it this winter. My fault for not checking under the cover until now during the winter or early spring. Where'd the water go? No issues with...

Here is my problem. When I vacuum my cement/plaster floor/steps and fiberglass walls with my vacuum, I actually often get too much suction. I vacuum manually with the rectangular style vacuum with weights on it. I actually enjoy vacuuming it manually...just not now with this problem I'm...
