    Pool Leak Help

    Our pool is currently closed for winter but in December a few days before Christmas I noticed that our pool was leaking. From eyeballing it I would assume it was losing about an inch of water a day. Our back yard is slopped and there are two retaining walls going down the hill behind the pool...

    Replacing Single Speed with 2 Speed Pump

    Dark Stains - Should Have Known Better Before I Filled the Pool

    I purchased a new house late last July that is 27k with a pebble stone finish. The pool was a complete swamp and had to be drained. Once I had it drained and shoveled out I cleaned the pool with a stiff bristle brush and diluted bleach. At that time some dark stains (more on the black side)...

The pool is a 27k gallon pebble stone with an Auqa Rite SWG and T-15 cell. Now that summer has begun, I'd like to switch the pool back to...

    I closed my pool last year by adding no additional chemicals other than raising the chlorine level and then covering it with the mesh cover. I looked in the pool maybe two weeks ago and the water was clear but I know there is some trash in there. Fast forward to today and when I took a look...

    What Brand Mesh Cover is this?

    This is a custom made mesh cover and it has a few rips that need to be repaired. I ordered a Loop loc repair kit but they sent the wrong color (green) and the patch kit pattern does not match my cover. The Loop Loc pattern looks to be wider and it's one of those kits with the 3 patches with 3M...

    New Water and no FC - Dont Want to Mess it Up!

    Hello, I am a new pool owner and I know little about pool chemistry but I'm trying to learn. My pool is a 27,000 gallon concrete pool and has new water in it as of maybe 3 weeks ago.

    Jandy Lite 2 and SWG, is it ok?

    Hello! I just bought a new house and have inherited a 27,000 gallon pool. It's a SWG pool and it's concrete. The previous owner said in 2006, he spent $80k plus on it including the retaining wall and pavers. I have a really nice pool guy that's been here a few times helping me get the pool...
