Is there such thing? We're thinking of "retiring" our pool. We don't want to get rid of it, but we also don't want to keep maintaining it as it costs money and because no one is using it any longer (sad). How would we do such thing?

Ah yes there are. I never noticed it. Thanks.

The suction cleaner was stuck at the main drain today, and I had to pull it to move it away. Maybe I do need this vari-flow. Does it provide more suction?

Lol So the cleaner works again without this vari-flo. Somehow. Do I even need this?

Thanks!!

I don't know what this part is called. I found it attached to a "Hayward skimmer adapter cone" (part# V093C). My "Zodiac G3" pool cleaner does not move around anymore because of not enough suction. I cleaned the skimmer basket already. Maybe some kind of clog in the pipe? Thoughts? Thanks.

No BB gun. I remember there were rocks or a piece of the ... what's that called, platform surrounding the inground pool thing... Penny... maybe. Or small kids toys... Here's another pic. Hope not rebar issue.

Hi I have this rust (?) spot/stain in the attached spa. I read that you can use vitamin C tablet (ascorbic acid) to clean this. Is this ok? Secondary question: What caused this? Thanks!

I've been pouring liquid chlorine for 2 years and I grew tired of doing this. Main reason is the hassle of buying them (buy, drive to Home Depot, drive back, pour them daily, splatter them on cloth ruining it). On top of that I needed to brush and vacuum. So much work (you can argue it's...

Hollow area is about 4 by 3 inches. I have not done any plastering. Grouting yes, tiling long ago.

Well I have drained the pool (because of unrelated issue). It's dry right now.

This is the pool floor. I think it's also plaster. I also see small crack now that you mention it. I don't know the age of the pool, we bought this house 2 years ago. Would this work? https://www.homedepot.com/p/Pool-Patch-3-lb-White-Pool-Plaster-Repair-Kit-WPP3/204506693 Thanks.

Hi, I'm not sure what material this pool is made of and how to patch this. Do I need to hire a professional? Picture attached. I could also have a 15-second video up soon (on yt as unlisted) - let me know. Thank you!

Thanks. Is the silicone sealant required? Does it make the d-ring last longer or what does it do? (there's no leak)

I corrected it. I had stripped the sleeve nuts because I used a pliers carelessly instead of a wrench and the D-ring fell inside the housing (didn't know about this). The replacements arrived yesterday and I have a socket wrench this time. I placed the D-ring (why is it called D-ring when it's...

Hi, I have Hayward c3000 and I took off the lid and cartridges and cleaned them. When putting back together, the D-ring (large "o" ring) fit but the top cap does not fit snugly. It then leaked. What should I do? Thanks.

I've had this pool maintained for months. So far so good. However I'd like to ... limit my visit to Home Depot to buy liquid chlorine. Home Depot is 15 minutes drive. I could buy bulk but they may expire or degrade. I also don't want them to ship because 10 boxes ($50ish) cost $78 more to ship...

Ok, I'll measure FC after​ adding chlorine, at sundown. Then measure FC again before sunrise. Thanks.

No I didn't test. I tested, got FC=10. Added 5 cups per poolmath. I don't want to waste the reagents ...

Tested this morning, FC is 11.5. Last night was 10 and added chlorine to 12. That means it lost 0.5. CC is 1 drop (0.5). Water is clear. I think I'm done :). Yes?

Report: Yesterday 6/3, started at 6a. Started pump. Brushed. FC was 1 and shocked to 12. Tested every 1 to 2 hours until 6pm. Throughout the FC dropped 2-3. Added more chlorine back to 12 every time. Last check was 8pm (FC was 10, added to 12). Pump was running all day. Tested CC only three...

Yes it's sunny. 71 F in San Diego, California. Phew it's ok/not so bad then. Thanks!

Either my FC measurement is wrong or I put too much chlorine. Today at 9am it was 9 so I need to bring it up to shock level of 12 (I'm doing SLAM). PoolMath says 1 quart 3 cups. I put like 15 cups thinking 1 quart =12 cups. LOL (facepalm). It's actually 4 cups (1 quart = 4 cups) so I should...

A = I see. Well the pump is corrected to 1HP WhisperFlo. D = Unsure lol. It turns on/off pump and timer. I never tried the water heater F = If I switch to Pool ("off" points to spa), does it suck water from pool only? G = Corrected. Label is in back. Hayward C-300 I added signature. Thanks. But...

Hi all, I need some help. Got the house 6 months ago and it has a pool. What a pain ( lol ). I don't know much about its plumbing. Can someone identify below (label A-L)? As far as I know: A = Pump itself (1 HP) C = timer D = master electrical switch F = (unsure) switch between sucking water...
