So I started it up today. There is one spot on the piping at the value that is leaking. It’s probably not a huge deal. The heater is shooting water. I’m guessing that isn’t good at all. I have a company coming to look at it so we will see.

I got this out of the in line chlorinator!

A little water came out of the plugs, I can tell that there is still water in there. I opened the pressure gage on the filter. I tried to open the black bottom drain, but it didn’t want to budge and I didn’t want to break it. It’s hard to get off anyway so it may or may not be frozen. I didn’t...

Like so many others, I was running my pump until the power went out and now everything is frozen. I turned off the power and took out the drain plugs (if those are the little plug things under the basket). What should I do now? Visually everything looks ok. I’m sure it is still frozen inside...

Here is a day and night picture of them.

Is it priming and then stopping? When our pool was new it did that and it was because there was a piece of plaster stuck in the skimmer door and it was keeping it from closing right. Too much air was getting into the pump and causing it to stop. We got the plaster rock out and it started...

I am 5 ft tall. We went with 3’6” and I wouldn’t want it any deeper.

We have the copper Magic Bowls. Here is a night pic and a day pic

No, no dirt or plants and no sprinklers or watering.

It does look like efflorescence now that you mention that. I will examine it closely tomorrow and see if I can find cracks. I have not spoken to the PB yet. They are not very responsive or easy to work with so I kind of wanted to get an idea of what could be going on before I contacted them...

Yes, there. The pipe runs the magic bowls. Yes there is a spillover from the bowls, but I always dry the walls after running the bowls. Also it doesn’t happen on the other side and the other side doesn’t feel wet. My numbers are ph 7.6 fc: 4 cya: 40 Ch. :500 Ta:80 csi:0.15

I have a spot on the left column of the pool that constantly has scale. I clean it and it comes right back. No scale anywhere else. I’ve noticed a few times that this one part of the wall is wet when nothing else is. Could the pipe inside be leaking? It doesn’t seem possible, but could explain...

I have Aruba. https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipNz-XJS0QehBjMAiuSBsLBJWA8v0MsXS2c1kD-X5W7zEubroDePz-EZyXRsHoys2w?key=cW9RZGYzUXNQTnNITzBoczBmdzY4b0gzY2pldFlB

How do you know if a bleach is pool safe? I know that scented is bad, but what else should I look for?

I have the 2005, but I just ordered the fas/dpd test. My numbers are: FC:10 CC:0 CYA:50 TA:80 PH: 7.8 CH:350

I have a relatively new pool and I have already seen the light. My CH is at 350. I’ve been asking the pool store why it is rising and they don’t know. Well after reading here I do. It’s from the shock they sold me. I’m going to start using bleach and I have a few questions. First, I bought a...

I have been using pool math and adding the right amount, but I guess I’m not doing it often enough. If it is scale will lowering the PH fix the problem or do I need to do something else?

Here is a pic. I’ll try to get a better one tomorrow. It is all along the walls and tiny, not in clusters like the noodles look like I think. I’ve been adding acid, but probably not often enough.

I have tiny, hard, white bumps on the side of my pool. They look like carbonation. They don’t brush off with the pool brush, but come off when I wipe my hand across them. I’m testing with the Taylor 2005. My levels are: FC:1 TC:1 PH:8.0 TA:80 CYA:50 CH:330 I know my PH is high. It’s been a...

Unfortunately, yes.

We decided to let them try to fix the problem by making the columns smaller. That has not gone well. The latest problem is that when making the columns smaller in the pool area the gunite was thinner than they expected and they went all the way through it. They are assuring me that this isn't a...

These are the Pentair Magic bowls, they light up without gas. That's why we don't want to switch bowls. Yes, the problem is the water will hit the coping. The PB says that will make the water not flow into the pool. I'll add more pics later.

We have been having our pool but lt since September with problems every step of the way. This new problem is the biggest and I was wondering if anyone had advice. The PB designed columns that are too big for the water from the Pentair Magicbowls to properly flow into the pool. This was just...
