Hi Folks, This is my first full summer operating my pool. I moved less than two years ago. Pool was empty last summer. I appreciate all the knowledge I've obtained from this forum. I've been using 12% bleach from the local pool store at $8 a gallon. (free gal after buying 11) One of the...

So...my dyslexia got the best of me (again) and I pulled on the wrong cable. So I was indeed able to pull the middle cable and get it to move with effort. I probably got the light end of the wire to move 8-10 inches. Still thinking about pouring some lubricant into the conduit. Is that a bad...

Thank you for your response Poolbreh. That sealant just peeled right off but the wire has barely any play in it from the light end. I was hoping to dig up the conduit as it's not that long a distance as you can see from the pics. However, the conduit seems to run into the concrete perimeter of...

Hi Everyone, I came across this forum searching for tile sealants. I bought a home with an as-is inground pool about 16 months ago. The paint over the plaster has failed. Currently, the pool is empty with most of the paint pressure washed off. I am currently stripping the 2 rows of scale off of...

He eugchen, I am a new pool owner. Bought a home that came with a pool with years of calcium build-up on the decorative tiles. Currently, my pool is empty and what I've found works best is an angle grinder with a 60 grit sandpaper disc. Takes the scale right off without damaging the finish...
