I was able to get started on it with some of the E-Z patch products. I used #6 and it was actually super easy. Here is a quick pic. It still needs another skim coat and then deck coating. Really good product, but kinda expensive

It’s actually grout from the tile work. It should chip out pretty easily.

My in-ground pool deck is needing some repairs on the concrete coping. As you can see, it’s just worn off. The pool is around 30-40 years old, so normal wear and tear stuff. is there anything besides regular Quick-Crete mix that I should use to repair these spots? Any tips? I’ll coat and paint...

Here’s my current sprinkler setup. Just hooked to a sump pump.

I’ve been trying to get my TA down for a week with aeration. I made a DIY fountain attached to a sump pump, (exactly like this picture) but after 5 days, the pH has only risen .2 points. What am I missing? I don’t feel like I should use acid yet…? FC 2.8 pH 7.4 TA 110 CH 290 CYA 40 Temp 77.1...

Ok, thanks! I’ll pull the tabs and pick up some stabilizer and go from there.

Hey everyone. 2nd year pool owner here. We just had to drain our 30k gallon plaster pool to get the waterline tile replaced. Upon filling it, I’ve been working to get chlorine levels in check and have finally accomplished that with liquid chlorine and tricolor tabs in the strainer. However...

Alright guys, how in the world can I get these things to screw back in? I’ve tried soaking them with PB blaster and it worked on a few of them. Still have about 10 of them that won’t budge.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. Is there anyway to lower TA without aerating? How long to lower TA using one of the diy solutions on a 30k gallon pool?

Old pool. Built somewhere in the 80’s according to the pool guy that looked at it.

I have a 30,000 gal gunite pool with 2 threadless 1/2” return lines. My TA number is 120 and the suggestion is to reduce pH with acid and then aerate. How do I aerate if my return lines aren’t threaded? There are holes drilled in the plaster where the return lines are at about a 45 degree...

I’m back! Took me a week but my CYA is down! Here are my current numbers. Is it time for a SLAM? FC 0.5 ph 7.2 TA 90 CH 220 CYA 50(!) temp 62.6 csi -0.70

I got it down to 100. Still at the ’no drain water exchange process’. Some rain in the next few days should help.

Here are a few of when I took the cover off.

Yes, thank you. Elected to go with the ‘no drain water exchange’ method.

Thank you. I was told about TFP and PoolMath from a friend and instantly subscribed to the app. Thanks for the help, currently draining and refilling. 🤕

I moved into my home in September. we basically saw the pool and had to close it. Previous owner used chlorine tablets. 😕 We winterized our pool and just opened it back up. Here are the levels from my TF-100 kit. Looks like a drain/fill is in the very near future. Anything else you guys can...
