I've got tennis balls on hand. I'll put them in now.

Never heard of a scum sponge. Will research now.

It would be a likely culprit. Now the question is what to do about it. Scrubbing a waterline three or four times a week is getting quite old.

That was my first thought but I can't figure out a way to be sure. With the screen being a few months old I could only think it would be something in the manufacturing if that was the actual issue. Not sticky at all. Won't rub off with sponge and water. Almost like trying to get off old dry...

FYI I dropped the water level this morning so that's why it's so high. Rained a lot last night.

It's sort of a dark grey. Here's a pic.

Hi All, Fiberglass pool I installed in January. In April, it was screened in. I've got the TF-Pro test kit and water is right on. Just FYI, it's salt. Now that South Florida is in the rainy season, I've noticed a ring around the waterline of my pool. It's not easy to get off. After lots of...

Maybe I should try to chip away the concrete and fill the gap?

Below my coping I've got some rough concrete where it meets the fiberglass. If I caulk it the bead will be quite wide (1" - 1 1/2" would be my guess). I've read here about the preferred caulk types but I'm wondering if it's my best option. If anyone could chime in it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks. I'll give that a shot.

I'll check and see if that's an option.

I had the same thought and I did try that the second time but it's still leaking. I just received an email from them and they think it's a bad housing. Sounds like I might be getting a new filter.

Thanks for the reply. The o ring is on the lid and goes around a couple of inches from the bottom. I thought the same thing but this design won't allow that to happen. Also, I set it down upside down as the top is flat. I cleaned the inside, took the o ring off the lid and cleaned it...

Hoping I can get a little help here. I've got a ProClean filter and it's been running for about a week. I've noticed a leak at the top between the lid and the housing. I pulled the lid, turned it 180 degrees and it was still leaking. I pulled it, cleaned it, and coated the o ring around it...

Me too!

Finished the plumbing on Thursday and did the electrical on Friday. Fairly simple stuff other than my 2 speed pump has a toggle switch on the back that is supposed to control the speed but unfortunately there's not enough room inside the cover to put connectors on the blades of the switch so...

My guy was a small local guy. Only works Palm Beach County. I talked to three and he was right in the middle price-wise. The choice was easy when I figured out he was the only guy in South Florida that had ever seen a fiberglass pool. Oddly every other house here has a pool but no one does...

Not sure on that. Concrete guy says he doesn’t usually. I’ll do some homework. Thanks.

Another question about concrete coping over a fiberglass pool: below the coping there is a strip of concrete I assumed would be removed but the concrete guy says if he removes it it will leave a gap as the top of the pool is curved. He said other jobs he's done the finisher ran a line of caulk...

Question for folks with electrical knowledge - can I put my light on the same breaker as my outlets around the patio. It's a 12V Jandy so I'm guessing it isn't drawing much but I'm not sure what the inspector will think.

Finally finished the concrete last night. It's coming together! Now to start asking lots of questions about electric sub panels and required wire gauges.
