So, I went swimming last night and put my hand over the main drain. I also motioned some sand into and around the main drain, nothing happened and no suction. Any other suggestions?

In picture 3. That line is capped facing the screw, BUT it does go into the ground. It's like someone put that just encase they ever wanted to run more piping? It does go through the ground at the bottom.

Yes, we are talking about the same thing. Sorry, first time I've dealt with this. Yes, the main drain is at the bottom of the deep end. Isn't that drain important to remove debris from the bottom of the pool?

Thank you for your great input! I don't believe any of the inputs to the pump are capped. I believe they are all open. Can you tell me more about the "main drain?" I thought all water would go through the sand filter once leaving the pool. I don't know how putting water in that hole...

So, I did as instructed and didn't notice any diff in the pump. I tried to push some dirt into the return at the bottom and didn't see any action. Will have to get in to see what's up. Dropbox - 3.jpg

I have one skimmer. I have a vacuum port on side of pool. I have two open holes in bottom of skimmer. Both open.

Since I purchased my house, I have never figured out how to get bottom drain to work. I am looking for help based off of this picture. Image two won't upload. Here is the link Dropbox - 2.jpg

I have done this before and all I did was pressure wash it and let it dry. Then used a roller and it went on easy! I have no clue what kind of paint I used last time.

Re: Painting Concrete again around the pool. Please let me know if I have not posted in the correct forum.

Hey Guys, I hope this is the correct forum to post on. I painted my concrete around my pool a nice tan and I pressure wash it every year. I need to repaint as it's starting to look bad. Sherwin Williams is having a 40% sale. I am looking for guidance on what kind of concrete paint to buy...

I'll wait till after March to open mine. No reason to open if I can't start to heat her up and get in!

I have an 23k gallon salt water in ground gunite pool. I also, live in Charlotte, NC where we may get a few days of freezing temperatures during the winter. It snows once or twice a year. To winterize, I drain all of the water out of my pool pump, filter and heat pump. I backwash most of the...

The back of the pool has a pool light. Behind the light it goes downhill to the street about 15 feet or so. Behind the light about 5 feet is where the light gets it's power. So, I assume the water is following the power to the light and down the hill to the street.

Okay great, well since this happened two years ago. I think I should hire an electrician to come put everything back together. Someone who's familiar with these sort of wiring. I'll order all the pieces and have him assemble. My pool is still draining onto the street. LOL I have had tons...

Thanks So my question is. Water should not be passing through behind the metal trim, correct? That's my problem? This is where I am confused. Is water expected to pass through the metal trim?

My apologies. It's about a 20k gallon pool. In ground gunite. This happened 2 years ago during the winter. I had someone fix it with epoxy around the edges and filled it back up. It worked great till the latest freeze. The water is draining now at a fast rate to the light fixture.

So, I am a total idiot when it comes to this stuff. Water should not be getting passed the light fixture or housing, correct?

And has anyone ever installed one of these? They look cool. How To Install an LED Pool Light Bulb - YouTube

I think maybe this? Pool Leak - a how to fix. - YouTube Also, is it possible to switch to an LED light instead of a normal one? Where would I go about to buy one of those? Might as well since I'm already draining the pool more than half way.

Two years ago I noticed water was escaping my pool light after a very cold night. I drained the pull below the pool light and then hired this plumber to come fix it. I think he cleaned out the outside of the pool light and applied some epoxy made for water use. Well, we just had a very cold...

I uninstalled then reinstalled and it works now. - - - Updated - - - Why would bluetooth be outdated? What other technology would replace it?

Who were you replying to? Does it work for you? Does it not work for you?

I'm using android on a Note 5. I have rebooted, the only thing I haven't done is delete and re-install the app. It just sits there, can't connect.

Anyone else have their app update recently and now can't do ANYTHING with the app? WTH!

Stuff works great. =]

I use my solar blanket in the beginning and end of pool season. I blanket is always ripping where I have the straps attacked to it. I am constantly having to fix these over and over again. Does anyone have any recommendations for better straps? Also, what can the group tell me about liquid...

So far I love the cleaner. When I select "FLOOR ONLY" should it even attempt to go up the walls? I find mine doing that for some reason.
