    Possible Liner Leak

    It looks like the little deer may have created a few holes and they are hard to find. I may need to replace the liner. It is unlikely I can get a new liner installed before winter arrives. Since the holes are on the bottom this makes it difficult to winterize. How should I deal with this...

    Possible Liner Leak

    I found the hole. Its not on the floor. Its on the transition between the wall and floor, a little bigger than a pencil tip. Any tips on applying a patch here since there is nothing behind it to push against?

    Possible Liner Leak

    I did find a place where there was 4-5 nicks in the liner on the bottom of the pool. But they are only very small, 1/8 or less. I am losing about 1.5 inches a day which I have calculated to be 60 cubic feet or 450 gallons. Could a couple little nicks in the bottom of the liner cause so much...

    Possible Liner Leak

    Thanks, Anybody have any thoughts on this part? It would help me search a much smaller area. I have a sport pool with a concrete bottom. I am not sure if it could leak on the floor due to the water pressure pushing the liner down to create a seal, and if it was I would expect the liner to be...

    Possible Liner Leak

    We had a deer fall into our pool last night and it had a little trouble getting out. We think there might now be a small leak as it seems to be losing water, about and inch or so today. Not sure where to start looking. I have walked around feeling for potential problems on the liner and...

    Pentair Warrior SE climbing wall but not going along waterline

    Hi, Previously my Warrior SE would climb the wall, change it's angle and move along the waterline. This year, it climbs straight up, but just stays in place for a while cleaning the same spot before moving back down. Anybody know what might cause this?

    Mesh Safety Cover - Skimmer lid

    Hi, I just got a mesh safety cover. I am unsure how to stop water from entering the skimmer through the skimmer lid since the cover will just let the water through. Any ideas out there??

    yes I use water bags. Do I need to push tarp down on the stairs or just run it over the top so it's flat there.

    Closing what to do with stairs

    I am closing my pool but unsure what to do with my steps, which are molded outside of the pool. Last year I put some OSB over them before tarping but wind kept getting under. Do I need to something to protect them and tarp all at the level of deck?

    Little Bugs in Pool

    Hi, We have got thousands of these little tiny bugs in our pool. They seem to grow in the stagnating water between the pool cover and the liner, but they show up overnight. In otherwards not there one day and suddenly thousands there the next day. I originally mistook these for pollen...

    UltraTemp Heat Pump short cycles

    I believe the issue is of no hysteresis. When a heater is cycling every couple of minutes, I do not think this is intended behavior. I can watch the temperature on the easytouch display move between my setpoint and 1 degree less, then back to my setpoint in the span of two minutes, with...

    UltraTemp Heat Pump short cycles

    Moved from here .. Pentair UltraTemp Heat Pump short cycles when using RS485 remote setting Has anyone with a newer Easytouch seen a similar problem? As my pool comes up to temperature, it will cycle on and and off for hours. The easytouch is sending the command, not a heater issue. I have...

    Easytouch, heater delay

    The issue is that the water temperature in the pool is above the set point, but the water temperature in the pipes (which hasn't had water flowing through them for 8 hours) is lower than the set point because water has not been flowing because the pump is off at night. As soon as the pump...

    Easytouch, heater delay

    I am using the easy touch system and I have programmed it to start up at 7:00AM every morning, with heat command set to heater. Every morning, the water temperature at the sensor (at the pad) is much colder than the actual water temperature in the pool as it the air temperature obviously acts...

    How much Chlorine do I need per day.

    The last 4 days my chlorine production has been keeping up. I did remove all the tree matter from skimmer and pump baskets but I can't believe there was enough to eat up all my chlorine. Maybe there was just a little too much other stuff in the water and I finally got over the hump to kill it...

    How much Chlorine do I need per day.

    As an update, after I removed all the organic residue from my skimmer and pump baskets, I have been consistently keeping my chlorine level in range, maybe even increasing a little. Currently running at 70% for 16 hours. I don't know if it was the organic matter (tree stuff) or if I just...

    How much Chlorine do I need per day.

    How much Chlorine do I need per day.

    3 weeks to a month before it jumps the border. Pool opened first time last year in mid September. Never had high chlorine before closing, but didn't turn on the SWG last year. Maybe I should shock it, but don't have ability to slam recommended way till I have test kit. Should I just do a...

    How much Chlorine do I need per day.

    I suspect you can understand my confusion. Intellichlor used to have 60-80 ppm in their manual, but recently has been reduced to 30-50. I am going to cross fingers test kits comes soon.

    How much Chlorine do I need per day.

    I am looking back over my chemical report from the pool store after reading some basic pool school docs. My Stabilizer is only 37 ppm (which is within target range on the sheet). I assume this could be a problem.

    How much Chlorine do I need per day.

    I have a test kit on route. I ordered 3 weeks ago but I am in Canada and have to wait for it to cross the border. I got the T-100. My water is crystal clear. Can algae be clear?

    How much Chlorine do I need per day.

    Yes, I tried to buy an IC40 however they were on backorder. Reading my printout from pool store I have 0.56 ppm FC, 0.81 ppm TC and 0.25 ppm combined chlorine. We had a windstorm a bunch of little yellow things from my maple tree blew into the pool. Could this be killing my chlorine levels...
