I've had a leak in my system, that I definitely noticed last year, but seems worse this year. I've been able to isolate the leak to the return lines. In the short term, until I can get in to digging down to the return line on the shallow end, I thought I would make a temporary return line...

Does your lid have a groove like this going around the underside? I keep having leak issues on the backside of the lid, and have had some on the sides. The grooves on the replacement seals are deep grooves, but the lid is not. It seems the lid groove is not going in the seal groove, but...

We currently have an 18x36 inground pool that was installed I believe in 1978 by the owner and a neighbor. When we bought the house in 2008, and replaced the liner in 2009, the liner guy said this would be the last liner for this pool because the metal walls were deteriorating. Here we are 11...

I think I'm on my 4th week of SLAM. I've got a small investment in bleach bottles. We've had a LOT of rain this season, and at times it came down so fast and with the ground being soaked, all this water comes down the hill, and goes into our in-ground pool. It seems I'm stuck. The pool is...

I can clean the bottom of the pool and the next morning it looks like this. I am currently in SLAM mode, is this dead algae falling to the bottom or somehow coming out of the filter? Another thing, I’ve been adding DE to my filter. It has helped clear the water up, but pressure on the gauge...

While swapping out SWG's, and redoing my plumbing, I was about an inch off, so I just scooted the sand filter over a little (Sta-Rite Cristal Flo T-240BP-1) When the pump shut off, I could hear a dripping sound, which sounds like it's coming from under the base. Could the bottom of the filter...

Had enough, worst product ever made. Finally fixed it! How to fix Compu Pool Salt Water Generator - YouTube

Another year, anther problem with compupool. Water fault from the start. Called them, they sent me a troubleshooting procedure which did nothing. I guess I'll be filing yet another claim. Thinking about going with an aqua rite because I don't want to wait till next season to get a...

I suppose since the pool is in the sun from about 8AM to 8PM is the reason I'm going through so much. On days when it's cloudy, I only need to put one in. ~27k gallons, every night, I measure when I get home and the FC is about 4, sometimes as low as 3.5. My CYA is 50, and CC's always test...

Still waiting for a replacement control unit (submitted warranty forms back in May). I filed a complaint with the BBB today, but looks like I need to take a number... On 08/28/2014 this company's accreditation in BBB was revoked by BBB's Board of Directors due to failure to eliminate the...

Opened the pool this season, water tested ok, but salt was a bit low. Put in 3 bags to bring salt up to 3800. I noticed the front display being warmer than usual, but the heatsink seemed normal. This morning I checked on it, and display was dead. Opened it up tonight, and found parts on the...

Getting ready to put this tub in place but I want to replace some of the rotted wood underneath and I need to freshen up the sign panels they look kind of well, here's a pic What's the best way to clean these up and make them looking new again?

We've had a lot of rain this month and my fc and cc levels have been good. Since my cpsc48 went out, I'm back to bleach, and a bottle of 8.25% a day keeps it between 3 and 7 with a cya of 70. Today's rain was heavy, pool is to the rim, and a ton of dead grass clippings got into the pool and...

So my wife found a 1991 sun dance Marin spa system 600 for $100 (hopefully not regretting this). The current homeowner said the previous owner said it was running but it needed a $50 part, as it wasn't heating up. I'm new to these things, but I am electronically enclosed and somewhat...

Came home tonight and something smelled something like isopropyl alcohol to burning electronics. Saw some water dripping off of the electrical wire going to my cell... And behold...

Looking for diving board kit recommendations. Found 2 below, the only difference between them is one has 2 boards underneath, while the other one has wood all the way across. One person said theirs didn't hold up to heavier people, but both say 250 pound limit, so take that for what it's...

Started our concrete repair job, and the coping will be replaced as well. Other items for replacement, the skimmer has some cracks so might replace that while we have access, and one sidewall seems to be bowed in a bit so will try to straighten it up. Found a snakeskin under one of the...

Having some fun today. After shooting, it looks like I need to vacuum the bottom a bit, but otherwise, maybe something like this could be a testament of the information shared here. [youtube:3gykjbj6]5ATqYRpKaYE[/youtube:3gykjbj6]

I guess with this portion of the cement moving, a weak spot has been exposed, also the metal clip holding the coping is rusted pretty bad, not sure how long this will last. The guy that installed our liner a few years ago said this would be the last time we can change the liner without doing...

Found these on amazon, most places have them for $30 each, not sure why these were so cheap. I ordered new SS bolts/nuts kit as well. My 14 yr old son just changed out the old plastic ones with these. yes I need to do some sweeping...

I need to know which way to move the jumper since the plastic broke

On this site, we have great instructions for opening our winterized pools, but what about Starting from scratch or Restarting a pool opening? I have a friend that is going to do a complete drain & refill this year after fighting their pool, being pool stored, not taking/having the time to do...

Got my SWG in this week, and spent today hooking it all up. Will post the final pictures tomorrow of the plumbing redo, the pump was hanging 1/2 way off the concrete slab, so I extended the lines and pushed the filter/pump back closer to the fence. One question though, i moved the jumpers for...

I came across a thread on here where someone mentioned they don't get the "black ring" in their skimmer anymore, and then it hit me. I used to have this black ring as well, and if the thermometer got in the skimmer, it too would build up a black ring of goo around the top of it. I went out to...

The extended 100+ degree weather here is taking toll on the clay soil in our area, I had to start a soaker hose around the house, and the cracks in the concrete around the pool ate getting bigger in some places. One is pretty bad, we just had a 12 x 20+ concrete "lay in the sun" pad portion...

New to the board, just discovered this BBB method, which I'm using this season, and it seems to be going fairly well so far. Water was nice & clear yesterday until I added salt. I searched this board for salt and green and didn't turn up anything. I just added salt to our pool yesterday, and...
