I replaced my pool light fixture in the niche with the water below the light level. I have closed it back up and sealed around the light cover and niche. However, I am reading now about lights overheating and not sure if I need water in the niche to keep the light cool? Or is this mainly for the...

I have someone coming test the pool for leaks on Friday ($500). So I am attempting one last run at finding the problem myself before having to spend the cash. I dropped in alittle more shock this time to give it a few extra days for the water to sit without worrying about it turning into a swamp...

An update I went ahead and resealed around the skimmer but it did not fix the issue. The water still reduced to the same spot as previously. I was thinking possibly a leak in the pipes but the skimmer basket still maintains water. Anything that I may be overlooking? Going to call in the pool...

I seem to have a leak in my fiberglass pool. I did the bucket test which had a significant difference now am attempting to locate where the leak might be occuring. I have let the pool sit for about a week to see where the water stops. In the pictures you can see it sits just above a return jet...

I was vacuuming my pool the other day when I noticed a stream of debris was coming back through the jets as I vacuumed it up. I recently replaced all the sand in the filter so I do not think that would be the issue unless I could of done something improper during the filling of it? My valve at...

Was out of town all last week but got back and broke the kit open. Here are my test results. Total Alkalinity 40 Chlorine stayed clear PH 7.5 CYA 70 Calcium 275

Alright, I got the TF100 XL and Speedstir ordered up. Should I do anything in the meantime to help prevent further issues until it arrives guessing next week.

Sounds like I will be buying a better test kit tonight.

Filter is defiantly looking at the 12'oclock filter setting and checked to make sure it's sitting properly. Backwash and rinse and working correctly too. I did add a new larger pump could that be pushing to much pressure into the filter to allow it to filter correctly? Poolmaster 5 way test...

I received a pentair pool filter that I cleaned out and added new sand (600lb). Recently I noticed my pool is developing a dust like algae on all the surface. I will vaccum it and within a day it will be back all over the surface. The pool store sold me a dry clarifier which is suppose to...

Thanks for the responses but the issue has been fixed. After I back washed with the new equipment I no longer have this issue. I am thinking maybe some air was trapped in when I installed the new piping, but the system does not have a check valve, I am thinking this is something I should add.

I recently replaced my filter and pump and now when I shut off the pump all the water reverses back through the pump and skimmer which causes my pump to strain re-priming itself every day. When the pump is running I notice no bubbles in the basket nor the return jets in the pool, but I do see a...
