Hi guys, so I am a new pool owner and have noticed slight leaking before around my pool, but now it's becoming more prominent and not sure where to go from here... 1. There is a leak somewhere in my pump or motor, I know because there's water around it after a few hours of the pump on. I think...

Hey guys, pretty much done slamming my pool from a green algae mess. I am a new pool owner and was pool-stored for a few months. Last time I was in, they said I had copper in my pool (2.1 ppm at that time). I ignored this problem and finished the SLAM first. I have not done my own testing yet...

Ran a used dolphin pro for the first time today while trying to clean up some dead algae and leaves after a SLAM. Some things I've noticed: 1. While the pool cleaner is cleaning, occasionally some small debris will simultaneously come out from the top impeller. 2. When removing the pool...

Hi all, I am trying to get my pool cleaned up and ready, I am a first time pool owner. After using the pool store for a little bit, I've decided to go with the trouble free method. I am waiting for my TF-100, which should be delivered Tuesday, so right now I only have tests from an old...

I recently had the pool running below the skimmer line, but I've since filled my pool and have had the pump on, but just wanted to make sure...

Hi, I was hoping you guys could tell me how to install a new pressure gauge for my filter. I've researched online and saw that many instructions say to use Teflon tape when installing a new pressure gauge, however the lady at the pool stop told me to just basically screw it on and should be...

Hi, I am a first time owner of a used swimming pool. The pump has been running for some time and I just noticed that the water level is below the skimmer, so very little water has been able to go through the pump. Also, since I've moved in (about two months) the filter has not been backwashed...

Hello everyone! I recently moved and am now a first time pool owner. Yesterday, I was backwashing my pool pump for the first time since I've moved in. I realized a part of the hose was caught and water was not getting through so I immediately turned off my pump. Untangling everything finally, I...
