We have a 1.5" flex PVC pipe feeding to under our pool to extractt ground water. I'm having difficulty finding info on what type of pump I need to accomplish this. Anyone have some ideas? Thanks

I'm chasing a really annoying DE leak into the pool. I have replaced the filter grids (1 was torn) and the manifold that looked like it had a few possible hairline fractures and didn't want to take any chances. I replaced the spider gasket in the multipart as well. It still leaked DE. So I...

I'm getting DE back in the pool. I have not yet inspected anything and wondering if it's more common to have a cracked manifold or torn grid in the filter, or an issue with the spider gasket in the multiport? It's my understanding that any of these issues can result in DE coming back into the...

I have an issue with one of my skimmers having far less suction than the other. The one with less suction is on the equipment side of the pool, so a much shorter run. This leads me to believe that maybe there is a partial blockage. I did take the valve apart at the equipment and the pool guy...

Everything that I click in the Pool School just goes back to the same main page. Is anyone else having this issue? I am a newbie with pool care and want to go through and see what info it has to offer.

I am in the process of getting quotes for a new liner for our in ground pool. We had a new liner installed by a guy that was unqualified, (we later found out) 5 years ago. We have ground water and the liner lifted so bad there were very large wrinkles from day 1 (standing as much as 6" at some...

Hi Guys. I have to repair a flex pipe that inadvertently took a rebar right to the kisser. I dug it out, its right by the pool equipment. I have some schedule 40 1 1/2" couplings. I was wondering if these are the correctly couplings to use. The pipe also appears to be 1 1/2". I have never...

When we bought our house, the liner needed replacing (pool was unusable). We hired a small independent pool contractor to do the job. The job took him from some time in July until November to complete. He needed help with measuring, twice, he needed help with installation after he spent 4...

We are new to pools, never having one and am just learning. We have well water and have to top off. I know the metals in the well can be an issue and turn the pool water brown from what I have read and create some staining. Everything I read was filling the pool, and not topping off. I would...
