Should there be no water on top of the Baja shelf for winter? Last winter all the plaster broke off my Baja shelf and I had to replaster the whole pool. The company who closes my pool did it today and there is a thin layer of water still over the shelf. So trying to understand if it should...

Hey everyone, I’m sure there is a simple answer here, but just found one junction point near my filter that has a small drip going on. What’s the best way to fix this. It’s very very slow drip. Do I need to cut the pipe off and redo it or is there another solution? Thanks

Just opened my pool cover for the first time since closing in Oct and just find piles of plaster that appears to have chipped off over the winter. What would cause this to happen, and should this be covered under some sort of plaster warranty do you think? It’s all from the top of my sun shelf...

Hey everyone, Im in my 4th season with my pool and my pool plaster looks almost pitted. I don’t think it’s actually pitted if I really look at it. I think it’s exposing small per level like affect in the plaster. The pool is just a plain white plaster. Is this normal? I know my pool has high...

Hey everyone, This season I’ve noticed I’m getting white deposits on my walls. Looks almost like raised white streaks maybe like 4 or 5 per wall. I can usually rub them off with my finger with a little pressure, sometimes I have to use my finger nail, but never more than that. My water is...

Hey everyone. For the last few weeks, maybe a month I have been finding a good amount of what I believe is calcium carbonate scale flakes in the pool vacuum bag. I took some of the flakes out and pour MA on them and they foamed and fizzed. Ive noticed the higher I turn up my SWG the more is...

Hey everyone, Have a 2.5 yr old auto cover that now isn’t engaging. I build up the stone covering the box, and see it spinning but the part that I guess would be considered the gear isn’t catching so it doesn’t move the cover. I can kind of manually manipulate it to catch in one direction or...

Hey everyone, Decided to take the plunge and stop paying others to take care of my pool. Opening went pretty well, got my filtration system all figured out, filled up the pool, pulled the plugs and got my salt level to the correct amount. Water is nice and crystal clear, but as I test the...

Hey everyone, Trying to figure out how to get a neutral to my switch location so I can replace my switch with a smart switch. Im looking at the wires and Im a little confused. There was a white wire that looped through conduit that I though was a neutral, so i cut it and spliced in a wire to...

Hey everyone, I have a new 20x40 salt water gunite pool, 3.5-8ft deep, white plaster, with solar heat and a solid grey auto cover. I also have anpolaris vacuum that runs 2 hours everyday and the pool pump system runs about 12hrs a day. Currently the pool is being used roughly once a week, so...

Hey everyone, Builders are finishing up a brand new gunite 20x40 3.5ft-8ft pool at my house. We just got things plastered last week and filled. The builder installed a Pentair Superflo 2hp Pump, and it seems to be a little loud in my opinion, but maybe it is normal. I can hear it in the...
