Thanks. I'm going to order a kit tonight. Guess I will researching that the rest of the night since I cannot find my old Taylor box I had. Thanks

I have a 32500 gallon gunite pool. Chlorine at 0, ph 7.3, cya 55. Sand filter with 1hp Pentair. Usually no problems with this pool but holy smoke now I have problems. First of all, I have no test kit other than the two tube type and strips (I know - useless). However, I have a buddy (best...

Looks like my filter likes 62 gpm. Not sure, but I think the 1.5hp pentair is over 90.

I have a crackling type sound (maybe air) coming from the return/discharge port on the multiport valve (SP714). I have cleaned 3 times, replaced the glued in gasket, examined o rings, closed off valves, re-aligned the valve. Etc. it still makes a crackling noise like a pebble is in there. I...

Re: Break it to me gently: How bad is this pool; what to do Your pool looks like a dream compared to the one I just drained. My suggestions based on experience with two non-liner pools: 1. I wouldn't paint. I have one painted and every time I clean, the paint comes up in chips. I hate my...

More problems...... I did a little picking today at the cracks (now holes). As you can see from the pictures, the cracks developed into pretty big holes. I could basically pick around the cracks and it just kept coming apart. It's apparent that water has settled behind the pool wall and...

Thanks. I went into Lowes the other day looking for the 2lb can of epoxy. I could not find it, nor could the guy helping me. You would happen to have a brand name so I can look online, would you?

Funny.....I did not notice my son in the background with the bucket on his head.....LOL.

I plan to get to work with a chisel in the next few days. Also, I used this Quikrite stuff (see attached photo) on a different crack and it worked really well. I chiseled open the crack a little and added the Quikrite. It is solid as a rock now and stopped the leaking. I know you guys...

Water leaking back into pool.

Okay. Here are some photos so far. The first photo is an overall photo of the pool. As far as I can tell, it looks like they laid concrete block and then plaster over the block. I am not sure. The second group of photos are the damage I found after ripping off the fiberglass patch. As you...

Re: Suggestions on fixing this mess/problem I've decided to drain the pool and try to fix some leaks ..... this project will probably take me a couple months because of my other projects. So, I'll be posting some questions I'm sure. I will post some pictures of the emply pool when it's...

Thanks everyone. I'll see about getting that thing out this weekend. jed

I recently used some hydraulic cement on my painted concrete pool. I have a concrete pool that is coated with something and painted. I'm not sure if it's plaster or not. The hydraulic cement is holding so far. However, it is very dark in color. I opened up the crack to let the cement in...

Thanks. I'll let him know tomor over a cold one. Although it was probably his fault for not checking the valves, he gave the pool man a few choice words when he returned the next day.

So, to remove the motor, it looks like these nuts to come off. Any more suggestions?

Asking a question for a friend (elderly gentleman and neighbor) who had some recent pool work done. He had a new liner put in by a pool company. They left when the pool was filling with water. According to my friend, they told him to just turn on the pump when the water level got up to skimmer...

That's funny. Would you see about re-building this one or just get a new one? I think a re-build is around $70 to $80 (at least that's what a Hayward re-build cost). I have not done a search yet for a new motor....got any recommendations on where to find motor? jed

Re: Suggestions on fixing this mess/problem Are you talking about the tube exoxy? Comes in two side-by-side tubes?
