Pool is fairly old. Pool was put in I think around 2005? I did check the link out and I’m thinking maybe copper stains from refilling water in the pool?

I noticed some black spots around the tile grout in my pool and was wondering if it’s black algae or not. Tried scraping with a toothpick and not really slimey. Just breaks off like I’m chipping away grout. Won’t come off with chlorine tab or extensive brushing. Just when I scrape with a...

I have an older Rheem Gas Heater (Model No. P-M337-A-EN-C) and was wondering if it's in good enough condition to use safely. I took everything apart as best I could and it appears the wires are in good condition (not chewed or ripped). I did see some Gekos in there but I believe they're gone now...

Okay, so what I did was plug the suction line in the skimmer basket and kept the valve shut to that skimmer. In the pictures from my OP, you can see that I have two skimmer lines. One is on and one is off. I imagine that I am losing water because I have a leak underground somewhere and water was...

So you're saying to plug that skimmer line with a cap and then if my water level still goes down I have crack in the skimmer box somewhere?

Spa still drained. turned the valve to not allow any water to the return lines in the pool. Don't know what else to do at this point other than just replace the check valve on the spa returns and see if that works. I would imagine it has to be that. I will say though that hypothetically, even if...

Yes, it is however that only goes to the two sun deck jets. I will say, I have noticed that when the pump is off, water is coming into the pool from those two sun deck return jets. I don't think that would make sense for the spa draining issue, would it?

All, Looking for some advice here. We have two skimmer lines one of which I've isolated to have a suction leak. We were getting a ton of air in the pump and out the return jets one day. I cut off the line from one of the skimmers and that worked fine. Normally, I would count my blessings and...

Just as an update--I believe I identified the issue. The "sprays" line goes to three waterfall features only. The "Water Features" line goes to two sun deck fountain like returns. The "Pool Return" line goes to all return jets in the pool AND what appears to be a water feature in the center of...

From (L-R) Pool Return/Sprays/Water Feature (2)

Okay here are more pictures of the plumbing. Spa return is on the top left. The suction lines are at the bottom. The return lines are the far right (next to the filter). I also included what I think is the culprit. The center drain I was referring to that appears to be allowing water in despite...

I've tried to upload a picture of my plumbing it keeps erroring out. A couple of things I noticed: 1. I had the 3-way valve set to "off" toward the spa return. I would imagine that means there should be no water running to the spa in the return jets. That said, this morning when the pump kicked...

All, I seem to be having a fairly common issue of the above pool spa draining into the pool when the pump is off. Water does not go below the return jets. I’ve checked the check valve on the spa return and it looks fine. Spring still works, O-rings intact. I moved both return and drain on the...
