Hello, When we do deck repairs in the Fall, I use only SL-1 & NP-1 polyurethane adhesives. It come in a orange & black tube. I been using this brand for years, I used NP-1 on kitchen backsplash, around the bath tub to automotive repairs. This adhesive is not a common brand you will find at any...

No... the controller won't khow the spa's water temp. If you are concern with the temp drop, check and see how well your spa cover is sealed around the spa, observe the spa's water temp every hour for 4 hours and see how much the temp drops. The great thing about using a timer, it cuts the...

Algae always have it's day... It sounds like the growth of spores were really large. Brownish/red in color is dead algae. I can suggest turning your pool off, buy one or two pounds of heavy granulated chlorine shock, get some rubber gloves & broadcast the shock over the stains. Let the shock to...

Buy a timer 115/230v. depending on existing wiring layout. Now, you can set (any hour or time) 1 or 8 hours if you like. Lowe's can outfit with this timer.

640 lbs @ 40lbs each = to 16 bags

One skimmer would be just fine just by looking at your landscape. Are going to buiild a landscape around you pool deck? If so, I would ask for another skimmer. If not, ask the builder to install one wide-mouth skimmer.

Are you closing your pool soon? Try a 4" wide stainless brush for those little dippets in the plaster. I you had mustard algae, :evil: you need to service the sand tank. Its prone to some of your water problems. Mustard spores are a beotch... If the sand older than 4 years replace it or clean...

Did the stone mason cut a drip edge under the spill edge stone? It helps with capillary action when water rolls under the stone. Ask the stone mason if the spillover stone can be removed and have a 1/8" slot cut into the stone.

Hello, welcome to the site! Can post a bio about your pool and if the pump location is above or below pool grade?

When you use this tool, do you close the main drain and skimmer valves? When you close these valves, the pump is now only this drawing water from the vac valve.

Sweet... I need to tune-up my smoker, :( a little rusty.

Hello, welcome to the site.

I went to a supplier just the other day to buy the blue devil unit, all they had was the knowoff version of it. Not happy with it at all. I asked the store manager if he could call around. I'm on the hunt. :lol: I can one thing that's not made overseas is skimlite poles. :goodjob:

Do you have one of these on the vac inlet? Check each one of your hoses, they don't as long one would think.

I've collected vac heads & nets of the years, right now in got the 22" rainbow weight vac head. It's five years old, the only problem using it to vac algae, you have to run over the same area twice. I best vac head for the money and it's weight is the blue devil vinyl vac head (liners only). I...

Hello, how old is the hose that connects to the tool? Maybe coupling on has gone bad. Can you post some more info about your pool?

Hello, If you buy the house, I would put a timer on the pool pump, just run it 8 hours a day. Make the real estate agent earn their money, ask about what was mentioned above.

Just wondering if your pool has any inlet jets. I use 1/2" inlets on my pools, it bring the psi up a bump but won't hurt them. The reason using a smaller jet, it helps pull water current across the pool a little better, add some resistance to the pump.

Wow! :shock: There was a write-op in aqua magazine on plywood walled pools. I would restore it. Just take in consideration a few update change should be made. I don't know how your pool set on site, rain runoff from the house would be top of the list. Drainage is important for both the house...

I would turn the pool off for one night. :mrgreen:

Hello, Your pool's SWG should be reading salt levels of 3200-3400ppm. What is the control knob set on the box?

:goodjob:

What was suggested above is an idea, by the time and resorces used to make it WORK, you would be better off buying a small sand filter.

x2.

Hey mr. baggins, :mrgreen: Do you have cloudy water on the deep end of the pool? Turn the pool off at night, and turn it on in the morning before leaving to go anywhere if you have to. This help lower any floculant to the bottom. :twisted: Vac any dead algae up since the pool water...
