Yes, I just melted the crack together with the soldering iron without using any other plastic. In the first photo you can see the first step. Melt that line crack, the plastic will melt to the sides, then melt each side again to the inside of the crack. You need to work both sides of the crack...

I tried the JB water weld without success maybe is the extreme pressure of water that eventually pulls it off. I guess you can try but after I did the plastic welding with soldering Iron I fix it and is working fine now.

OK, you will need a soldering iron $16 minimum 60 watts and a small metal screen or better SS mesh. You press the broken piece together and in a continues motion following it's direction burn the crack. This is call tacking I believe. The melting of the rubber will push the material to the...

You can easily fix that with a soldering iron and little piece of ss screen.

Does a SS brush damage the plaster in anyway in a in-groud pool? Should I use light force or can I go hard on it?

Thank everybody for your replies. The knowledge that you share here is very much appreciated. Also if I misspell something let me know I am not use to write in English.

I took a sample in a plastic bottle from the pool water and experimented with the FC - CC test using the 25 and 10 mark. (25 mark) 36 drops x 0.2 = 7.2 FC (10 mark) 17 drops x 0.5 = 8.5 FC On both test CC was zero because water stay clear didn't change to pink. why the results are different...

I recently started using the BBB method. If I use bleach like clorox doesn't it has iron that will lead in time to pool staining?

Thank you, but this repair is working perfect and in the case it didn't you can cut a small piece of metallic screen placed on the repair spot and using the soldering iron it will melt the plastic surface and incrust itself into it for added strength.

Does anyone have experience with this product? This product is supposed to sequesters and removes metal. Is good or not?

This is what I did today. There was a crack line in my Hayward pump housing. Epoxies and other bonding products won't work with this type of plastic and in this high pressure environment. I was not feeling like spending $180 to replace the housing so using plastic molding technique with a...

How to replace old jets or eyeballs of returns when they are partially cover by plaster? I will add photo and another of me relaxing at the beach here in PR. the water looks almost like a pool. Enjoy.

As mentioned above, you do not need a weekly "shock". Be careful with the cal hypo since it adds calcium to your pool and eventually can cause scaling if the CH (calcium hardness) level gets too high. Most of us use the pool calculator to calculate our chemical additions. Thanks for the...

I have a question. I understand that once a week I should shock my pool to get rid of CC. Now, if my pool is 13,500 gal. with a CYA of 35 ppm how-many pounds of (chlorine) I am using Re-Fresh a powder that is 68%cal-hipo should I put in? Or which is the mathematical procedure? By the way I...

Chlorine = 1.5 CYA = 40 I should mention that I bought a Taylor 2006 test kit instead of the TFP 100. Is this readings as reliable as the TFP 100?

No issues at this time. I have been reading a lot in this forum and managed to have the pool clean and balance. The only thing is that the pool floor is a little bit stain. The previous owner stop taking care of the pool and their where a lot of leaves at the bottom that I suspect were the...

Hi everyone, my name is Carli and I am a beginner in pool stuff. I hope to learn a lot from you guys. I bought this house that already have a 13,500 gal. in-ground pool with a 36sq. DE Purex filter. Jandy never lube valve, Hayward motor and multiport valve. I am adding some photos of my pool so...
