I'm looking to go 100% solar (for lighting), this year. Lots of solar is available on Amazon.

The hose method works great. In my case my leak was a kinked gasket ring where the pump basket attaches to the pvc line.

A hole in your cover will make it seem like you are losing water, if you are continually pumping it out.

Careful about chlorine, it will rust metal badly. Even if sealed properly.

Man I don't know how people deal with that aspect of the BBB method. I find it way more convenient to buy tubs of 12.5 % Chlorine (unstabilized) from a pool store. I find Borax is even harder to find at walmart.

:p Another scam artist with a product to sell. NYTimes isn't worthy enough to line a bird cage.

Wait... a navigator isn't a robot?

Leak is almost certain at one of those return lines. You can buy some leak detecting ink and injector on Amazon or a pool store, and put some yourself near that return. If the leak is deep within the return you may be doing some digging.

Thanks! I will go for the refill and the stirrer as I make a darn mess trying to shake the bottles.

Hello, I tested with the TF-100 and received what I thought were some pretty bizarre results (like TA being 440?). I had my kit outside in a shed for several harsh winters over the years. Is it possible that the kit was ruined by freezing temperatures? Anyway, I think I will just go ahead and...

Maybe it just doesn't know the words?

There was a guy on this forum, I think he was an electrician/pool installer, who claimed that this was occasionally caused by a naturally occurring electrical field in the earth. Said he measured a case he couldn't figure out in the power outage in 2003, right in the affected area (here in the...

I would probably buy a Chromebook. My Thinkpads though are indestructible. Macs are ok.

Personally, we had a pool robot, a Haywood Navigator. The thing vacuums all day and all night if you want it to.

I always refer people to this site on the Reddit pool forum or IRL.

People have actually died from this. Believe it or not.

Re: Why so much hate on pool store's water test? Well anyway thank you TBF for your help!

Careful about storing it outside, i had mice chew through mine.

A $30 cover pump works faster than you might think.

Pumps come with computers now? Yikes!

Buy one of those pole saws and make sure you keep the area around the pool as neat and trimmed as possible.

This weekend I got the filter set up, put together and tested. Replaced the top canister air relief valve.

Sounds like a ground fault.

I've been looking for an excuse to buy a tap and die set, would retapping really work? It wouldn't make the hole too big?

I think if anyone is reading this for the future: hand tighten these plastic drain plugs only! Do not use any tools!

This is what I'm leaning towards I think. I don't know why I messed with these stupid drain plugs in the first place. Wanted to get the water out I guess. I don't need to use them.

So yeah, I did this. I guess it's actually on the pool pump basket itself, not really the housing. Anyone successfully fix this? Because another PP housing is like $250 and I've already bought it once before.

Welp, I Had slight bubbling too, both in returns and in pump basket. Plus the pump was continually losing prime overnight. I took a hose and ran it over each possible leak point on the suction side of the filter that was above ground. When I held my hose over the ball valve, the bubbling...

Are there bubbles in the clear pump basket viewer?
