So I'm not sure why I didn't post about this a long time ago, because it is a frustration we deal with every year. But here goes... I have an above ground pool with a typical cover. The water can pass through the cover. Every year when we go to remove the cover, the water below looks good. We...

I have a 20" Swim N Play, High Rate Sand Filter - 09441-FP70. Serial - 15A326122 There is a plug on the bottom that is leaking. It looks like the union between the washer and the outside body of the filter is not being made, and it's pushing out water pretty fast. I'm looking into buying a new...

I have a new mesh cover with clips for my AG pool and am wondering if I really NEED the winch? I don't want to do the bottles because I think they look bad. Thoughts?

Not sure how active the forum is in the winter, but I am hoping someone can help. Right out of the gate, I apologize for no pictures. We have a round above ground pool with a mesh cover. The previous owner of the house used to put the cover on, no bubble in the middle, and she would tie jugs...

(Just for background) I am the guy who services our pool and my wife handles the chemicals. This year we have opened the pool for the first time, busted a hole in the pool, reinstalled the liner and refilled the pool, had a leak in the skimmer, fixed the leak, and now have a leak in our pump...

I wish I could post pictures, but my pool is full and the leak isn't low enough for me to detach the skimmer to take pics. But when I had the pool apart and saw the gasket it looked like this: It was a one piece gasket with a soft rubber part on the outside of the pool and an identical rubber...

We just filled our pool from empty to full using the hose. We have limited CYA tests with our Taylor test kit and don't want to waste a test. Can I safely assume that the CYA in my pool is zero?

I am new to pools but am a handy guy. I would love to save some $$ and repair my pool myself, I just want to make sure I do it right. When we bought our house and opened the pool, there was a small void in the bottom of the liner. It popped and the pool lost all of its water. Where the pool...

Well, no pool for us this year I guess. Our pool popped tonight. I think it was a groundhog. There was a dip in the bottom that burst. Fun fun

Just trying to figure out what the downside is to having CYA at 70 in our pool. Deciding if I should drain out some water. Thanks all!

Hello, I am brand new to pools. The sand filter I have has a multiport on the top with a worn off label. I may have tracked down the options as: Filter, Backwash, Rinse, Recirculate, Closed, Winterize and Bypass to waste. Here are my questions: What settings do I choose when I am vacuuming? I...
