Like, what even is this? Lime jello? Next to the bulb. Just bought this house. SLAMMING pool now. Pool light doesn’t work. Is it worth trying to save this fixture? Dry it out, new gasket and bulb? Or just count it as lost and replace the whole fixture? Looks like cord has been spliced before.

Hello and TIA! I will add a pic of the wiring. Pool light didn’t work, found “box”, and the pool light has been unwired. I’m assuming it went bad, and they just unwired it. Assuming is the huge word, as I have no idea. We bought the house over the winter, and I’m just now SLAMming and starting...

Currently on day 3 of slamming our swamp/pool at the house we just bought a couple of months ago. It was BAD, and still very green, but getting better every day. I’ve estimated it at about 20,000 gallons 16’x32’ ish, vinyl liner. There is only 1 skimmer (deep end) and 3 returns (2 in shallow, 1...

We just bought a house that has a lovely (dripping with sarcasm) bromine/chlorine in-line feeder. The previous owners left a jug of chlorine tablets, and other random pool stuff (clarifier, etc) but I don’t see any bromine. I’m praying maybe the pool isn’t actually bromine (I know, it’s wishful...

We just bought a house and I want to know that everything is right from the get-go, because to pool looks greatly neglected. I have always had pools, and have the experience to do all this. I know I will get a lot of “ you don’t have to replace the sand” but it just makes me feel better to start...

I tend to get long winded, so I apologize for rambling in advance 😂. Opened my pool day before yesterday and tested, started SLAM. Initial test pH was 7.2, FC 1.4, CC 0, TA 30, CH 30, CYA 30, borates <15, salt 1400. Had 4 bags of salt from last year, threw that all in and brushed thoroughly...

Our 23,000 gal in-ground pool was installed with no lighting at all. We have tried all of the Intel floating lights, but they are a joke. Aside from the major construction job of having one installed, what are my options for bright light? Can I make some kind of holder for a “real” light and...

Hello! I’m replacing my old hayward super pump motor with a VS motor. When taking it all apart, there is lots of “funk” on the impeller shaft, seal plate and mounting plate. It’s probably mostly salt, but who knows. Can I safely clean this off without damaging anything? Or should I just replace...

I pulled back my cover today and tested my water. My FC was 5. Water is clear. Should I still SLAM when I open? Here’s my complete results: FC-5 CYA-20-30 pH- 7.4 TA- 40 Borate- 15 Salt- 2000 Water temp- 56 Thank you all!!!

It’s a little cool, but the heater is running! Had a GFCI go bad over winter and lucky that’s all I had to fix to get everything up and running! Love this!

Hello fellow water babies! I just really need to talk to other sun and water obsessed people tonight. I’m shivering. It’s a wind chill of 16 degrees in Richmond tonight. I miss the sun, I miss my pool. I haven’t posted before, but I’ve lurked for over a year. This past July we moved into our...

Hello! I'm a new poster to this forum, but I have been silently stalking you all for weeks! I have learned a lot, but I need to tell you exactly what I've got going on so I know if I'm doing what I should. My pool's back ground: I have an Intex metal frame above ground pool. This is the 2nd...
