I'm on my third season of pool ownership (but still feel like a newb), and i'm lucky to get 2 weeks a year of swimming in...its getting extremely frustrating; leaking liner, leaking mechanical, pump motor replacements, lots of metal in water, new pool deck, algae etc...its been nothing but...

I appreciated a lot of the help on my first post...I have been able to get it all going in the right direction now. We've been swimming in it now for a week or so, once I passed the OCLT. Per suggestions, I've put hairnets in place for the skimmer and the pump basket, and this is stopping my...

thank you...that all seems to make sense, and i'll take a look at that once I get everything going in the right direction with the balance of the pool. I want to upgrade the pump to a 2-speed pump in the next year or so, so I'll likely look into the filter upgrade. I wonder about the size as...

so what I thought was a small screen was not...picture shows the two holes. The other hole seems to be plugged somehow? There us a square inside the hole, reminds me of the inside of PVC threaded cap you would use for a future vent etc inside your house for the plumbing... However its complete...

yes there are two holes in the skimmer...one where I plug the vacuum into, and the other seems to have a small screen filter over it... so I guess now my question is, what is the side port suction for? vacuum? I have hayward pool vac that i've never used, as I don't know what it does or how to...

So the spot on the liner, it is a circle, its a stain...at some point in the pools life the owners used plate weights (like gym weights) to hold the cover down...well that ended up in pool for some period of time, was removed, and of course there is a perfectly circular stain on the pool liner...

So hopefully these pictures will help... I re-tested for CYA yesterday, as I thought I may have been doing it incorrectly. So I did it waist level, sun at my back etc...and its closer to the 60 line not the 50 line. I have a question about the valve labeled "MD" assuming its main drain...I...

thanks, i'll take some pictures this evening...I don't have any stairs, just two ladders. A week ago, I couldn't see the bottom of the deep end at all...now I can see the bottom, and vacuum, etc...

Thanks, i'll get the water tested for metals...I just know its been a struggle in the house as well, the softening system hadn't been maintained for several years either. I'll also try the puck, I think I have a couple of those in the garage (didn't know what to do with them lol). Yeah, the...

This all very new to me, and i'll do my best to outline everything...having already felt like I was getting worked over at the pool store, I left before they suckered me into a bunch of stuff, and then found this site...I assumed there had to be an easier way. So hopefully i'm in the right...
