what sealant did you use i have to redo my steps and would like to do something similar that doesnt get affected by chlorine

I had my liner replace back in April 2020, and have had leak issues since. I had contacted the old pool guy that put it in 20 years a go and has done my liner replacement before he had the old drawings so easy. He had his arm in sling said he wasn't up to speed and was going to have this other...

any thoughts on underwater caulk? I want to take each screw out again and apply good caulk, regular lowes just fell apart. I will be draining and taking steps apart myself after summer and redoing gaskets.

so game plan is to drain pool and open stairs up after pool season and do it properly. I had leaks along the corners which I fixed with pool putty, I have searched and search for another leak at step gaskets and nothing. I'm not sure if in removing the 2nd gasket may have moved things. I do see...

Long story short had a liner put in april 2020, and we've been fighting a leak for a while. Unfortunately we were bait and switches by our old pool builder from 20 years ago(3rd liner now) since he had broken arm and the new company is completely useless. Guys would say he would show up and...

I had purchased some large triangle sun sails and after trying smaller mounting points it became obvious that when you start researching it you either need 6x6 or 4" schedule 40 galvinized pipe and lots of concrete. I was looking for something that was semi portable and we went to the beach and...

We didnt notice it at first we had a giant 90' pine fall into tree and a portion landed in step area. We thought it was a scratch at first and it got bigger/ A little dye confimed a leak. My pool guy put underwater epoxy but it looks like crack is expanding. My idea would be pool drained below...

I have a fairly large crack in my bottom step, whats the best method for repair? I know they make a epoxy spray foam you can inject under step and then repair the crack like a tub.

maybe this isn't right section

Long story short i had my neighbors 90' pine tree fall into my pool in Jan. Tore up equipment, poked giant hole in liner. Insurance was great they paid for the cleanup, fence and replacing all equipment and new liner. Everything has been in for about 2 months and definitely had a leak issue...

I just wanted to let folks know how much CYA 20 pucks added i was quite shocked. and ive been having to add water due to the heat and some leaks(thats another post coming up) so it will come down eventually. Stenner, 5 gallon bucket inside of a 30 gallon tote now issues for 4 years now. CYA is...

CYA was my epiphany at understanding why i had issues every single year. You get a cloudy, green pool all of a sudden, your free chlorine is spot on, all the chemicals look good so you go to pool store. They sell you algecide, shock, water clarifier etc. Pool looks great again but the cycle...

thanks problem is i am trying to connect 2 5 gallon buckets with a T firtting on the suction side. I am using the standard Stenner tubing but want to draw chlorine for two buckets equally. This has worked with brass fitting but gummed up with green goop and looks like it added metals to pool as...

Ive been running my Stenner for over 3+ years now and its perfect for chlorine injection. My initial setup was 2 5 gallon buckets with a T to connect and I've tried plastic 1/4"T from Lowes(melted within a day or so) and brass ones(which gummed up with green goop from reactions with chlorine)...

So i got aerator fountains(with lights they are cool at night, and have gotten TA down to 70, PH looks more stable over the last 3-4 days. if i still see bounce ill go to 60 but looks better. Now another curve ball. I am going on vacation in a couple weeks, and my pool uses about a gallon of...

CYA is a killer and pool stores love it because most pool owners don't understand relationship with FC and CYA level. At a CYA of 100 your FC should be 11-13. If you use test strips or a talylor kit they tell you to keep FC at 3-4 ppm. and then gusee what you get cloudy water and algea so they...

if you look at the science behind CYA, its a buffer for chlorine from sunlight. Once the CYA gets too high you need to keep the chlorine high as you get chlorine lock. If your CYA is over 100 you should drain pool and refill to get it back to 50-60. You can get by with running your chlorine...

ok ill get some and report back in a week or so how things look.

gothca. So i need to get some kind of fountain that sprays water up to help reduce TA, and reduce PH which will reduce TA as well. Quesition on why not use "PH Down" from Clorox VS muriatic acid. Seems safer plus i have a bunch of it.

so the odd thing is that i have been having this issue since day one of the new pool. at that point TA was 60-70 and i kept it there for at least a month. Then decided to go up by 10ppm every week to see if it made difference.

Been doing the liquid chlorine route with the Stenner and timer for 3 years now and pool has been great. This year every time it injects it seems to raise my PH and it gets to 8 so i need to add PH-Down to get it back down. Seems about every 2-4 days it gets too high. I have tried various...
