Thank You for this...Having the pool shot again looks like 20K...ouch Wish I could do it myself but it does not sound like a DIY job.

@kimkats and @duraleigh would doing a vinyl liner require me to brek up the concrete at the bottom of the swimming pool to make it dirt?...or could they go right over top of it?

Hello Everyone As you can see, I have some major issues. I will like to try and save this swimming pool if I can. Issues. The pool has fiberglass sides with concrete bottom. I attempted to patch the cracks as much as possible and paint with epoxy paint. That lasted for about two years. Now I am...

Well...the moment I feared. I went and spoke to the original poll builder...of some 40 years ago. Turns out that the Light fixture is in no way shape or form connected to the skimmer line. There were two separate issues. The leak from the light fixture and the leak in the skimmer line. It...

No...the Dye is being sucked into the light...with the pump not running...same thing goes for the skimmer

At the outset, I would like to apologize for starting another thread about the same topic...I did not know how to update the title of the last one. After digging up the ground to get under the concrete to get to the skimmer (no leak found) Digging up the ground to replace a suspect return line...

Thank you for your input. I appreciate it.

O.K..Now this is getting borderline weird. I built a pressure tester to test the main line of the pool...as I turned it on, it only went up to 10 PSI on the gauge. However...water started coming out of the light niche?....is that possible? Would they have plumbed behind the light niche to make...

Today I dug for the skimmer. I did not see any visual leaks. I also put more water in the skimmer and there were still no leaks. The sand was moist but there was not a big puddle like I was expecting.

I went on a chase of the water that went down the skimmer...from the top of the skimmer to where the tape measure touches water.https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7ZAv5P6VFDddG5pWUlYVnpXZXBMalFKblExTkc4LU1rNm1Z/view?usp=sharing 1. with the water shut off I imagine that the water in the skimmer...

Maybe this will give some more light as to what I am dealing with. Set up. Pool Pump: Haward super pump (dont know how old) Filter: Haward Preflex EC75 (dont know how old it is) Location: In the house in the basement. Both have shutoffs before they exit the house (dont know how old they are)...

What is the fix for a skimmer with the face plate holes that are stripped.

So...I took another look at the skimmer and the face plate. I figure I would try to make sure the screws were tight before worrying about if the gasket was bad. Well...It turns out that I have some screws loose...

My main drain has a hydrostatic valve and another port hole that has been plugged with a black stopper. The light nitch...is plugged up in the back and I put marine sealant on the outside before I filled the pool. I have one suction line from the skimmer to the pump located in my basement. No...

Funny thing you say that about where the pipe ended under the basket. The first time it lost water, this is what I found. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7ZAv5P6VFDddFdBWV81SnFqaG9TYTlrdnNZNktOUGpxcG9N/view?usp=sharing - - - Updated - - - Im guessing on the other end of that fitting, is...
