    Joining pvc to metal pipe

    I found a leak under my skimmer and it looks like the pvc elbow is attached to metal pipe. I didn’t think this was possible. Can anyone suggest what has been done here please?

    Black Algae and Skin Infections

    I work in a lab which identifies algae and cyanobacteria under the microscope. You don't need to culture the cyanobacteria.

    Solar pump not working properly

    The absorbers are on the roof. I think this is the vacuum relief valve. When I unscrewed it I heard air being released so it must be faulty. Can’t find a replacement one that looks the same.

    adding chlorine doser

    I can't seem to find the power consumption either. Yes i was hoping to double stack the solar controller out of the filter pump socket. I don't have a chlorinator. Currently i am manually dosing the pool with liquid chlorine.

    Solar pool light

    I fixed them to the housing of my existing failed electrical light. It says in the instructions it's fine for plaster pools. Don't have any experience first hand though.

    Solar pool light

    I would say these solar lights are just as bright as electrical pool lights and they last for 7 hours each day.
