    Chlorine sold at Walmart?

    We seen this product at Walmart. Is it good or is there better options? We looked in the regular bleach isle, we've noticed, some bleaches do not show actual ingredients on the bottles. Even the Clorox brand doesn't have ingredients on some bottles. Are they trying to hide the information for...

    Best Filter Media for SALT WATER SYSTEM?

    Been running SWG for at least 3 years now. Never have changed the filter tho. Backwash regularly. Time to change the sand. My question is, what is the best type of media? Is sand still the industry standard? I see online, some other eco friendly media types that can be used. If we stay with...

    Guinite pool,leak?

    So, good news, my husband put about a foot of water in the pool and after sitting a day, some drained out. He's agreed it's faulty. After searching online I realize the old valve we have is quite expensive, yet the newer pvc types are 20 bucks. We are going to pump the water out and pull the old...

    Guinite pool,leak?

    The pool is over 20 years old. The main drain is white pvc looking, but the valve is different. Has a screw and a washer attached to the top. I seen a picture online of one like ours, I'll try to find it again.

    Guinite pool,leak?

    I'm thinking the same thing. My husband is arguing with me. I think he just doesn't want to replace the valve. I think we are going to have to, or it's not going to hold water. He's got the pool filling now. We'll see if it holds. I think it's already leaking, the level of the water doesn't seem...

    Guinite pool,leak?

    Our hydrostatic valve is smaller in diameter and a bit taller than what I see in the video. It's also silver, not white. It has a washer attached to the top of it. We have a small bilge pump we placed in the main drain to remove the water, so we can view the hydrostatic valve. When we pump the...

    Guinite pool,leak?

    I am understanding, yet I have another question. How do I tell if the hydrostatic valve is good or bad? This one flexes up and down when pushed.

    Guinite pool,leak?

    So, it does have a main drain, at the bottom of the deep end. 11 feet deep. When we removed the tarp, there was about 7 inches of a small pool of water at the main drain. My husband pumped it out and the next day, there was about 10 inches of water there again. It did not rain, where did it come...

    Guinite pool,leak?

    So its spring, time to pull the pool cover off and get things started. In the fall we drained our guinite sw pool to below the jets and covered with pool cover. Same as previous 5 years. Each previous year we pulled the tarp off and water level was where we left it. Well, today, pulled the tarp...

    High ph and chlorine CYA is 50

    Is there anything I can do to lower my ph and chlorine? We are getting moderate sun here. I think I'm reading to just give it time. Is it safe to swim like it is?

    Dolphin Triton, slide outs on handle?

    I've searched and searched. Online and in the book. I can't seem to figure out what these do exactly. I vaguely remember reading about them when I got it two years ago. Can anyone tell me the point of sliding them out when in operation? I think something about scrubbing walls?

    The best extendable pole for use with brush?

    When we bought this place 4 years ago, it came with various junk poles to use with pool tools. There wasn't one real good one. I've since bought two different ones. One promised to be the great one. Both are now broken. The plastic that is used to tighten the pole after adjustment just doesn't...

    SI45 working?

    We put a hose on the jet and removed some water directly from there. The SWG is working very well. Now the check cell light is flashing. It seems to start flashing every 3 months we realize. - - - Updated - - - Nothing is on a timer,because our pump is terrible to prime. Each time we turn it...

    SI45 working?

    Okay, I'll collect from the return and do a chlorine test, the reason I'm concerned is because my chlorine level isn't maintaining and I've had to add bleach. I have to admit tho that my husband loves to turn the pump off, ugh, he's a miser

    SI45 working?

    So, we have the Circupool SI45. My question is mainly about design. I've seen other swgs, the housings are clear and it's easy to see if they are operating. This housing is solid white and I can't tell if it's working or not. How are we supposed to evaluate it's operation? We took it off to look...

    Pump went out. Motor still runs. Help please

    Well, it can sound like a good deal for 300. But it's reimbursement. The insurance says it will take 30 days to get the 500 they are paying, so we get to carry that for a bit.
