We ended up using A+B epoxy... if we need to re do it we need to re do it.. at least we know where there is a problem I feel that’s half the battle, thanks for your help it’s been much appreciated.

Lol No it’s a scumbug and it works. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SYXDGPG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I continued to lose water overnight not as much and on closer inspection (via photograph) I could see a hair line crack still under the water line... at least I know it’s there now... will allow it to drift down before attempting the repair just to make sure. I have no idea what it’s been...

Thanks ajw22... You were right.... We discovered a crack in the skimmer and previous repair which is reopened and this crack is connected too... that original crack went unnoticed when we had a new liner put in 4 years ago, when we moved in to the house, we haven’t done anything to it yet as we...

thanks for clarifying

I am am not entirely sure what you mean by look around the back of the skimmer ...can you clarify? This is why I was saying about taking off the front plate, the weir doors look ok

Ok removed plate. (With help from male counterpart) can’t see anything a miss will try food colouring.

Thanks for the advice... I did wonder if the bucket was on too high a step, will place on lower step. When you say check the back of the skimmer do you mean take off the front plate piece that I see as I look at the skimmer? I am not sure how I would do that! (I’m just the pool girl trying to...

Top mark on skimmer was what the pool was at and second Mark is where it fell too.. we suspect the steps will refill tomorrow after seeing if we lose anymore water today and go round with food coloring to see if I can locate anything. Liner is only 4 years old.

Sorry I should have added I’ve looked round couldn’t see anything hence why I was going to confirm if it loses any more water today and tonight

Thanks in advance if you can help me... I did an overnight bucket test to see if I am losing water or it’s evapouration... it’s a leak I am losing about a 1/4 of an inch. There are no visible signs around the pump equipment my waste line is buried but I have checked the spider gasket in the...

Thanks Richard I was undecided whether to touch the CYA at the beginning I knew I had to tackle it at some point but stupidly realize now I should have left it till after I had finished slamming. School girl error. I shall learn for next time.

We opened yesterday and firstly thanks to the wonderful advice in this forum my SWG pool was not in too bad a shape.. a little debris but I could see the bottom clearly even though it was cloudy in the deep end. I got the bleach in the pool after adjusting the ph (was 6.8) to 7.2 I checked my...

Thanks guys your help has been quite frankly amazing... i wouldn't have thought 2 weeks ago I would have been enjoying the pool today... took 4 weeks to get where I am today last year and even then it was still not as good (had a bad case of algae always lurking)... today crystal clear and not a...

pH has been the same since 5/31 (5 Days) I didn't check pH prior to that due to slamming only when shock level had dropped considerably. So with that said I think I am going to leave it well alone and enjoy a beer watching my kids having fun in the pool!

Right Salt Test Kit arrived tests results are in 3600PPM so spot on for my machine recommendations the rest of my results are in with my machine running on 50% Temp 76 ph 7.5 FC 6.5 CC 0.5 TC 7 CYA 80 TA 90 CH 125 Question I am pretty much on the mark for everything bar my TA being a little...

Just ordered it.. soon I will have the knowledge at my fingertips! Lol (well there's hope!)

I did wonder about the Taylor salt test kit... I guess I will have to go for it! My husband thinks I'm ocd about this pool now! I just want to have it great all summer.

My difference should have read 840 ppm my mistake... Today I can't decide if I should trust the salt testing sticks today it said I dropped 1000 ppm going to trust the SWG I think it is closer to the mark than the sticks guess time will tell and I have bottles of bleach as a back up

Ok wasn't too sure how responsive the system worked... Thanks for the tip will check levels again later and tomorrow it's been warmer than normal here for the past few days.

Better late than never huh? I'm Mel A Wife, Mother of two, Taxi driver, nurse, maid and chef. 100% British family living in the USA. Third summer with a pool did badly the past two years following the pool store advice CYA must have been through the roof with all the pucks and powdered...

Quick question how low should I let my FC drop before turning my SWG on to say 50% currently at 1 not producing anything but on so we could see what the salt reading was I have been monitoring my FC level which has dropped to 11.5 I worry if I leave it too late my level will drop too far and...

That's what I thought feel I may get the hang of this yet ;)

Didn't get as much rain fall as first expected and I passed the OCLT my pool is in the sun pretty much as dawn breaks so I set my alarm before dawn to do the test. Had 1ppm TC loss CC 0 and crystal clear water. So my next question is do I wait till my TC is below 10 before sorting out the pH...

Pump is back in action... Started up at 4pm yesterday TC was still above 28 dropped over night for the first time to 27 so have topped it up, but not surprised half a trees seeds and pollen had escaped into it whilst the pump wasn't running and due to my incompantancies I failed to put dophin...

I warmed it up to room temp before taking it outside second time round lesson learned. Thanks Pool Tool Had a set back pool pump is currently out of action, it's in hand, parts are coming it was leaking water badly so new seal plate, seal and assembly are on order... Just as it was going so well.

That's what I thought cheers ping :)

Today's results are as follows FC 42 CC <0.5 TC 42.5 ph 7.8 TA 110 CYA 70 (performed outside!) for more on my very high FC please read above!
