    Pool leak at return - is it the pipe, or is it the facing?

    Recently repaired a leaking shaft seal on my pool pump, and noticed my pool level was dropping faster than usual. I let it drain for a week or so to see where it would finally stop, and yesterday it finally stopped draining right below one of the return jets in my inground plaster pool. Water...

    DE coming out of returns (sand filter)

    Been fighting a cloudy pool for awhile. When nearly 2 weeks of slamming didn't help, I deep cleaned the sand filter. Before I could get back on it though, I left town and my pool went green, and I ended up having to change about 40% of my water due to a now high CYA level (long story short...

    First time pool drain, 22k IG plaster pool

    I don't want to get into the details, but someone else was watching my pool while I worked out of town this week, noticed my pool was cloudy and tried to be helpful by throwing a bunch of dichlor shock in earlier this week, didn't chlorinate again, and now that I'm back for the weekend my pool...

    Dilution & Replacement: CYA vs Sodium

    Water still cloudy after 13 days at SLAM levels, with 24 hours of filtering throughou

    0 CC & no overnight loss for 5 days; keeping SLAMing, or check the filter?

    First, I just want to say thank you guys. I'm going into my third season as a pool owner now and have used TFP as my reference since about halfway through my first season. I'm fighting my first swamp pool this year, and everyone at every pool store is trying to sell me hundreds of dollars of...

    Low FC, TA, and CH - Reccomendations? In what order should I balance the problems?

    First off, I want to thank you guys for what you do. Last year was the first year I owned a pool (first time I owned a home period... it was a pretty overwhelming year!), and I was getting pretty frustrated with the canned advice I was getting from "experts" at the pool store. I can't imagine...
