Understood. Thank you for all the comments. Can anyone provide insight on whether its okay to let the pool go green while trying to figure this out? Also our local pool plaster aggregate goes for about 30-45 dollars a bag. I'm wondering if anyone knows recommendations for plaster for when the...

Thank you, I will check out those leads you found. I guess I was looking for more pool specialty but I should look into actual plumbing services to help. I will post photos tomorrow during day time. I will need to tackle the plaster as well hence I am considering hiring for that and to go along...

I think I've done about as much as I can on my own. It is definitely losing water over the bucket test, 1-2 inch a day. Seems to stop just below the skimmer line. The plaster is delaminating and looks bad/shows cracks on the floor but since it slows and almost stops below the skimmer I believe...

Hello TFP, I am truly at my wits end with my swimming pool. I bought my home just over a year ago, and the owners had the pool repaired and replastered just before selling. I've since posted a few times here detailing first plaster delamination from a bad plaster job. Next, a leak occurring in...

Thanks for your reply! Texas aint too bad, had to live there for 4 years! But Guam is beautiful just a bit far for most to get to. I plugged up the main drain, no hydrostatic valves were found, and almost 1 day has passed and barely any water dropped with the bucket test! What a relief! This...

Hello TFP, This all started with the water autofill making more noise than usual running, and the water levels seemed to have trouble keeping up. With the advise of my local pool company, I was told to shut off the side skimmers lines (two), leave the main drain line open, and let the water...

I’m not sure if that layer behind the hole is another layer of plaster or gunite. Is there a way to tell? If this is a whole resurfacing job as is, should I consider tiling over replastering?

Wow. They did some repair to the pool where the water was all drained. I was under the understanding that it was a replastering. The old owners did share with me the contact of the person who worked on the pool, and mentioned it was their first pool job but that he was “very good”. I will try to...

Hey everyone! I bought a home recently with a pool and am suddenly seeing holes in the plaster popping up! The previous owners just recently replastered the pool. I know the calcium levels are on the low side at 200, and I ordered some calcium to add but it hasn’t arrived yet (long mail times...

Thanks everyone for all th Hafa Adai! Thank you for the suggestion I will give the OCLT a try. During this test should be main pump be running as well? Also for the OCLT test with SWG is running 100% overnight we are just looking or an FC increase compared to the previous OCLT correct...

Thank you so much for your reply! Hafa Adai and cool to see that you know where Guam is and have even been there lol. I updated my signature, and since I have a cartridge I now know that backwash does not apply here. I am a little worried that I bring CYA up to 70 only to discover the SWG is...

Hi Everyone, I just bought a house with a saltwater pool and luckily found TFP right in time! Have been trying to absorb all the information ever since. I dont think old owners really knew much and they relied on a pool company that treated things more like a regular chlorine pool. I have a few...
