Thanks for the replies. My water turnover is good but as one of you mention I have no surface water movement. I tried to measure and it seems like the hole is around 1.25 wide. Looking at the fitting I have that is 1.5in I don't think sanding it down would work.

Hi, I have noticed my pool circulation seems a little weak. I have a new variable pool pump but my return jets are small with no thread fitting. I ordered a slip fitting that was 1.5 in but it was slightly too big. I tried checking around but no one seems to have anything that can fit into my...

I can't seem to find any chlorine deals here in the philly area. Not sure what's different this year but all stores seem to be out of stock. My local walmart that does have chlorine in stock is 5 months old. Sucks my leslie pools is charging $13 for 2 1 gal of 12.5%.

Thanks for the reply. The rebate is $200 for this model but it must be installed professionally. I'm sure I could figure out the plumbing but I really want the full warranty and rebate. I think I might call my utility company to see if I purchase the pump online and have it professionally...

Hi, I am currently looking to replace my old pool pump with a new variable speed pump. The pump in question is the Pentair SuperfloVS. When getting prices I am being quoted $1250+ for the pump and install. That seems high in my opinion especially when I see it only for around $650ish? I...

Thanks for the help. I was able to get it apart using the trick you suggested.

Thanks I'll give that a shot tomorrow

I tried this and no luck. Do you think wd-40 might loosen it up enough to pull out? It really seems jammed in there I can't even get it to twist at all.

Does skimlite offer any type of warranty on these poles? That's a lot of money down the drain if I am no longer able to extend it.

I've had this pole for about a year now and I just got finished cleaning the pool the other day and shortened the pole. Today I went to extend it but it won't budge. I tried twisting and it seems stuck. Any ideas on what could be wrong?

Update for today. I filled the pool yesterday and it went over night with no water loss at all. Turned the equipment back on around 7am today as so far water levels remained the same and no leaking above the backwash hose behind the pool shed. Hopefully that means the only leak is in the return...

Yes I believe the MPV is below grade.. Update: Overnight the water remained at the level right below my return line. Filled the pool up today and now going to let it sit overnight without the equipment running and the one return line plugged and see if I lose any water. No water leaking...

Here is a photo of where the water stops. Right below the first return line. The rest of the two return lines are about 6 in lower https://www.amazon.com/photos/share/tPaYYf6IDdZgY6nHXAp4YUKNJSRAjiTm6rMb9oUhHHQ I just plugged the line right now and tomorrow if the water hasn't changed I will...

Sorry I wasn't clear. Last night I filled the pool back up, turned off all the equipment, plugged the skimmer and main drain and waited until today and the water was right below my return line.

Hey Guys, So I had my pool replastered last year and they replaced the main drain cover. This year I opened the pool and everything was fine then I noticed a sudden lost of water at a very fast rate. Water was at mid skimmer line around 6pm and the next morning it was 3 in below the skimmer...

Thanks for the reply. I will keep the main drain plugged. I guess my concern now is the return lines. Mostly every other pool I see threads of some sort on the return lines but my pool doesn't have that. I have three returns and they all look just like holes in the concrete I barely see of the...

Last year I had my pool replastered right before closing season. A few things I noticed after the pool was filled and operating was two of the returns seem to have concrete spread over part of the return, which caused me to have to use a smaller plug. 2. The main drain cover was replaced and now...

Thanks for the info. I have 3 other pool companies coming out this week for their quotes. I'm getting quotes on anchor, Leslie pools and a quote from an authorized loop loc dealer.

Thanks for the suggestions. Any reason why you both suggest mesh over the solid? I have about 50 trees around my property and pool so you can imagine the leaf fall and debris in the fall. I would rather open a clear pool and spend less time and cost on cleaning debris off the pool floor after...

Hi All, I've finally got my pool rehab and ready to go but now it is time close the pool down in a few weeks. I have been looking at safety covers and I wanted to go with a solid cover with no drains. I wanted to get a loop loc cover but they don't sell directly to consumers and a quote I got...

Thanks for the reply. My FC and Cc both were 0. I thought it wasn't a good idea to slam a pool that has just been replastered. Can I add liquid chlorine to the pool now without damaging the plaster?

Hi, I was trying to get my water balanced now that I have the plaster dust gone. I turned on my chlorinator last night and this morning my water went from clear to a cloudy blue. My test readings are as follows: PH 7.2-7.4 CH 350 TA 130 CYA 0

Sorry I couldn't get better photos. I forgot and took photos after I brushed the plaster dust off of the walls and stuff. However the photo of the mark on the step is the same as the ones on the pool floor only they are slightly larger.

Hi, I just had my pool replastered on friday and during the replaster the pool company fixed some cracks and installed rebar as a means to prevent future cracking. After they were finished the pool looked great but as I filled the pool, 24 hours later I noticed 4 brownish spots near where one...

I'm in montgomery county suburbs. Thankfully after my last post I was able to find a better plaster company that are just starting work today. They said it wasn't an issue to fill the pool up with the hose but to spray the walls down about three times a day if hot so it won't dry out. I might...

Thanks. I checked with a few water delivery companies and most of them stated whatever tap water I get now is what will be delivered to me. One company said I could buy pre-treated water from them but it was at almost double the cost of the municipal water delivery.

Lol. I have a bad feeling about this guy but it's frustrating because I've had 5 pool remodel people out. 2 didn't want to do the plaster remodel because of a crack I needed repaired. The other 3, the first this guy is charging the highest on the diamond Brite $7,700 but only $500 for the crack...

Thanks. I think it might be he was looking to hurry and get the job done. His response to me was water trucks are needed so there are no cracks from the heat. I know for certain my hose can put out at least 10k gallons in about 12 hours.
