So what would you recommend? Getting a new niche gasket and applying that? Tightening the niche-to-wall screws? Trying to add water and do a dye test? Would you suspect leaking behind the niche and going behind the liner? Going through the niche and into the ground behind the wall...

The water level seems to have stabilized. It is about 60% of the way down the pool light. The only other penetration of the liner are the stairs. They are a hard plastic "pre-fabbed" stairs that are inset into (outside) the perimeter of the pool. Roughly 1 step is still submerged and the...

The leak has slowed but it is still falling. It is below the inputs now and at the halfway mark of the light. Tomorrow should let me know if it falls below the light housing.

I'm getting close to that point. It is right at inlet mid-point level and the top of the light. That is the last of the penetrations.

my set-up: vinyl lined in-ground pool but with a complete concrete shell. 2 skimmers and main drain on bottom all on south end of pool. Pool pump around 30 feet due west of the western-most skimmer. 3 returns on the norther end of the pool in the walls. symptoms: I lost about 6 inches in the...

I have a variable speed pump. My new 60 sf filter (and new gauge) only measures about 1 psi when it is running. If priming (higher GPM) or if I adjust my run-time to a much shorter period (forcing a higher GPM), the pressure will increase with the higher water flow. I like to run my pump for...

If only all the information for everything was posted in 1 thread. Believe me, I did a lot of reading here before and during my conversion. Not once did I see the sock method until I started searching for CYA problems and then I saw it. I searched my discarded sand and didn't notice CYA...

I converted from Baquacil to SWG (about 65 gallons of bleach and 3 days). I also ordered a new DME filter to replace an undersized sand filter. Conversion went more quickly than I expected, so my new equipment wasn't ready to install. So trying to speed things up (oops?), I started adding 3#...
