I have already found the leak, it is actually two small leaks. I have cut the concrete and dug it out and now just waiting for some good weather to fix it. Yes, it could be run off from the deck. I have a Pecan tree dropping its flowerings all over the place.

I have been running my pump less because of suction side leak. I added some phosphate remover and it cleared right up, then stormed again. I will just bump up the runtime and see if that does the trick. Thanks

My water was clear and then we had a storm come through. After the storm the water turned a little bit cloudy and has stayed that way for the last three days ( some more storms in that time too) My readings are CL : 9.5 PH: 7.8 TA: 120 CYA: 70 CH: 275 Salt: 2600 I purchased some salt and I am...

No, I did not do it, so you don't have to take it back. Ok, so I will cut it back to rigid, put the 90's on each end then make my U and have a friend help me and we can get it in fully seated then and the only thing we dont get is the twist, which should be ok as long as I get good primer and...

This is the problem, I had posted about it in another thread. I don't know if I want to patch a leaky joint only to have to dig it out again in a few years.

I have to repair a repair of a straight pipe. The last guys used 45 degree joins and flex pipe. I am going to use 90 and regular 2" pipe. Like the image below however, I am not sure how you get a good secure seating with a twist doing this. There will not be long enough pipe length for a...

Thanks Jim. I was just wondering if maybe a 90 once seated around with dirt and rock would be less likely to flex a bit and come loose again. However, It seems that water would flow a bit easier with a 45 but maybe not much easier. Also, they had this hole filled with old concrete chunks ...

I have a leak in both the return and suction side. I bought the house with the pool so I have no idea what happened here to necessitate this repair and they the lines are crossed like this. However, as you can see their repair has failed on both the suction AND the return side. My plan is...

Ok, so I cleaned my filter to see if that was it but it is still the same. I had the leak test guys out because of a suction side leak but I have turned off that valve and have even put a plug in the return section. However, it still wont fill up. I have primed the pump but it still wont fill...

Yeah, that is the way mine usually is, maybe 90% full but not now. They pulled the top off of some of the vavles off so they could put their bladder in there to block the pipes off to test. my side suction is closed off since I never use it.

My pump is running all the time but the skimmer basket wont stay full of water. Even running at top speed it only gets 85% full. when it drops to the regular 1800 i run it at it only fills up one third. I wasnt this bad before the leak detction guys came out. Do you think they ruined some...

ok, I will go get some more liquid chlorine. I ran out yesterday and just grabbed a box of the 4 in 1, which i have never used.

All the store had was 4 in 1 and the blue. I got the 4 in 1 but have only used one pouch. Should I go try to find some that is not 4 in 1 somwhere?

yes, thank you. I have never had to do it really. Every now and then it would get a tint but this is the first time I have ever had to mess with it and I have been using TFP for over 8 years. Thanks, I will review the SLAM page. Am I correct in thinking that if my pump is not working then...

i have a salt water gunite pool and it heated up rapidly here so my water was starting to tint a bit green. I added some chlorine and waited over night and it was still green. Then I noticed my Hayward tristar had stopped and said "Check system DC Voltage too low" and "Check System Drive...

Sorry for the late reply. I came down with Covid AND Strep and that put me out of commission for a bit. I did plug the leaking skimmer line and I drained the hot tub and I no longer have a leak. I bought a diamond blade yesterday and will be cutting the concrete where the skimmer leak is to fix...

I called out American Leak detection the other day and it cost me almost $700 to find a leak. I still have not verified the leak by cutting the concrete where they way the leak is, I will do that this weekend, but it was on of my skimmers going back to the equipment. I did a bucket test though...

I have been reading the threads about what to do with my salt water cell in the winter but have a few questions specific to my setup. 1. I don't close my pool and keep it open all winter 2. I do have some liquid bleach to use Questions: 1. My CYA is usually low coming out of winter. Should I...

I agree that you should re-pipe if you are using it in that green area and make it straight. Then you can run it inline or do it vertical. I have been very happy with my vertical installation because it gives me room and flexibility. However, I had much less space than you. I would say...

Ok, Thanks. we did have power go out here for 2 days during a freezing spell last year and it was a bit too hard to quickly rewire and run the pump but if I had to I could get a generator and at least run a heater in there. That wont help with anything underground that might freeze and crack...

Hard to tell from these pics but where is the spot closes to the the return and after that heater that it could go?

I have an RJ60+ and I have built an insulated shed around my pool equipment. On top of that I have a heater in there in case it gets really cold. I have my SWG mounted vertically and it is a pain to get in and out. Can I just leave it in over the winter since there is no freeze issue. I do...

Looks to me like you should do vertical. I have the same (RJ 60) and ended up doing vertical so I would not be so cramped. Has worked great for me so far.

yes, that could be it. I am trying to remember if I saw it before I converted to SWG this spring and I don't think I did but can't really remember.

ok, I see, if you are keeping your CYA up you will lose less chlorine, therefore need to generate less chlorine, therefore extend the life of the cell. That make sense. Thanks

one of my returns has bubbles coming out of it every now and then. It is only a few and it doesn't happen all the time but it is always that one return. What could be causing that?
