    Recommendation for spa blower holes - re-surface in progress

    I'm currently getting my pool resurfaced and retiled. I have a spa that spills over into the pool. When I bought the place the current blower was dead. I bought a new one and it works great. There are a number of holes drilled into the seats around the spa and the thing cranks really well. We...

    Which finish to choose?

    We are currently shopping around to have our pool resurfaced. Its approx 30 years old and was never done by the previous owners. I've had multiple vendors come out and it comes down to 3 options and each one has great things to say about what they do, and bad things to say about everyone else...

    Salt Water Test Returning High Value

    I just switched to salt and was using the Taylor 0630 and 0718 bottles to test the water. After adding a drop of 0630 to 10ml of water and then adding 0718 I am getting 18 drops in before it turns from milky white to salmon/brick red color. So I felt I was on the high level for my salt. However...

    Pipe size transition

    Simple question here. I am preparing to put in an SWG that has 2" ends. I have the bushings to go down to an inch and a half on both sides.

    New SWG - Flow Switch

    I am putting in a Crystal Pure SWG and was reading through the manual/install guide. I thought I had everything planned out but caught something on the second go around regarding the flow switch. First it requires 12 inches of straight length before it is in place with the cell itself counting...

    New Install - Where to run cable?

    I will be installing a new system in the next few weeks and have everything pretty much planned out but not sure how to handle the cable between the cell and the control panel. What is normally done with this? It seems messy to just string it across everything up to the controller. Where it will...

    1 1/2in to 2in upgrade?

    I am getting ready to convert over to a salt system and need some advice on a change I have been thinking about. Every piece of equipment in the system has 2in connectors by default. In my case, every piece of equipment has a 1 1/2 bushing attached since everything coming and going to the pool...

    Leak Found! Now what?

    After what seems weeks of trying to find a considerable leak I think I finally won. Now I'm not sure how I fix it. It is the bottom of the skimmer bucket. I had stopped putting water in the pool after reading a few tips from another place. I was hopeful that once the water dropped below the...

    Considerable Leak

    Good evening. In the process of all the work I have been doing on my pool I noticed a considerable leak and have been on the hunt for the source. Its definitely not evaporation as I did a bucket test first and the levels were not the same after a day. Since then I have added a solar blanket so...

    Pump Flow - Not Keeping up

    Hello, this is my first post on this forum as I've spent a lot of time trying to fix an issue that wasn't really an issue (leak). So I'm looking for some advice from others as I have a lot to learn. Hoping this is the right place. I recently bought a new house with a pool/spa combo (spa...
