Well, I am quite proud of myself! Using the tips from this site, I have located both an air leak and water leak in my pool- both have been driving me nuts and I REFUSE to call the pool company, for various reasons. The water leak is in my deep end skimmer, around the suction hole. I am going...

I have a leak at the threaded connection where the water leaves the pump box and enters the filter. We just replaced all this plumbing and obviously that connection was not done well enough. I have read that the threaded connections are the most likely to leak and that there is no way to fix it...

Okay, I have had it with this pool this year. It is a 20X40 in ground vinyl liner. We have fought green algae all year. Finally replaced the failing SWG- did ourselves and super proud! When we first opened the pool I noticed we were losing water faster than normal but focused on the green algae...

I need to SLAM my pool asap. After opening we found out the pump was dead. Had it replaced today and the pool is a total swamp. I check the cya level and get no turbidity ....I can see the black dot even with comparative tube is full. However I know there was some when we closed last year. I...

I am not sure if I am just getting impatient or if I need to stop this SLAM. I wish I knew if this was algae, copper or both! The largest picture where you can see the debris on the bottom was pre-slam. All of that was cleaned out prior to the SLAM. The other three are from yesterday, including...

Okay.....this is what I have done and the results I have so far... 1. Double chekded with Leslie's that water contained no iron ,copper, or manganese. I know they may not be accurate but I have no other way of testing for metals. No metals found. Confirmed CYA at 70 and pH at 7.6 2. Inital...

I am a newbie to this forum; my first post was earlier ( Pre-SLAM help!). I have a FAS-DPD test kit but that is all. I want to get a more extensive kit. I am headed to Leslie's in the am to have my water tested. Do they offer something comparable to a K-2006? I would like to buy it and not have...

I have a 20X40 (36,000 gallon) green pool! I attached a picture. We have had the pool for 5 years and I have never had any issues getting the water balanced. I am so frustrated with this green algae. It is July and we still can't swim!!! I had the water tested and confirmed that there is no...
