Little update. Talked to a pool leak company today and the tech asked how old my pool putty was. About 3 years. He recommend getting some new stuff as the shelf life is not great. I bought a new set and so far it has stopped the leak even with the ground water pressure trying to push out. Knock...

Thanks. It’s been 48 hours and water still is slowly trickling out. At this point I am going to try and just wait until the water stops and try my epoxy putty. I haven’t been able to find anything that can work against pressure.

Hello, In need of a little help here. Just had my gunite pool/spa replastered and notice my spa losing water more than usual. Drained the spa down to check the pool light conduit and niche.When I took the light out noticed a stream of water coming into the pool from around the niche ring...

I'm in the DFW area and also just woke up the other morning to my pool dropping 3" over night it seemed. I initially freaked out but thanks to this forum and google I was able to find my leak and repair it myself. The best thing this time of year is you can leave your pump off for a little bit...

Happy to report the epoxy putty seems to have solved my leak for now. The atlas epoxy was very easy to use and apply. Pool seems to be holding water better than it ever has. While applying the epoxy I never saw a large hole or even a sign where a leak would be getting by. The best thing for...

I found good reviews for a product called atlas pool epoxy putty. I am going to give it a try. The leak company that put this last round of putty did so about 4 years ago. If I can get that long of life out of this brand I will be happy. I will let everyone know how it goes.

Did some more testing and found for sure one leak on the skimmer where it meets the pool. Curious what the best epoxy anyone recommends for this repair.

No I had a leak detection company come out a few years ago and they put epoxy on the skimmer faces as they said they were leaking, that was the only leak they found. I plan to inspect them in depth today with thanksgiving over. I have some plugs on order as I run my pool year round and don’t...

Noticed a large drop of water 4” over the last few days only in my pool section, spa has stayed normal evaporation drop. Decided to let the level drop until it stopped and it appears to level out just below the skimmer levels. Doing some research it appears it could be leaking from the skimmer...

Ps0303 you were right! I had taken the manifold loose earlier and blew out the whole assembly so while looking today I notice the gas offices you were talking about could be unscrewed with a 13mm socket to really clean them out. Blew them out and tried it again for the 100th time and she lite...

Ps0303 thank you for the advice. Would the burner tube be consider right after the valve. Or is that the header tube. After the gas valve it goes to what I would call a header than has an opening to each burner. However when I pulled the burners out and cleaned them by blowing air and I made...

No I have pulled the igniter and verified it's red hot. Also smell gas when the heat call is on but no physical flame is ever fired.

Hello, I have a pentair mini max gas heater that I went to fire for the first time this year and it would not light gave me an error 5 cod which seems to be igniter issue. I removed the entire heater assembly today and cleaned it out as well as verify proper gas pressure before the gas valve. I...

Update: I ohmed out the heating element and it comes back with 52 which I belive is good but when I put it on continuity it will not ring out. Is that a sign it's bad and possibly the board is not seeing the igniter lighting so its shutting off the heat command?

I was in the process of replacing a leaking shaft seal and found the impeller seal to almost be welded into the impeller. I was able to finally get it out but now before a small corner came off the impeller. The rubber seal will cover this on the new seal but I'm curious if I still need to get a...
