I have read every article that I can about hybrid pools. The one thing I cannot find information about is how specifically to restore the fiberglass panels. Can they be sandblasted at the same time as the concrete bottom? Do I hand sand them? I'm beginning to put together a list of things to...

I have a 1980's hybrid pool that will need some renovations in the coming years. Should I be aware of the water table when draining it? Any advice for safely keeping my pool empty for a few weeks?

What is a good solution for under water lights that is wireless? We no longer can use the standard deep end light

Hey guys I just had American leak detection out. They found my leak which is under one of my skimmers. Anyone have experience with the frankenplug skimmer saver? Anything I should know or be aware of? Ultimately the skimmer needs replaced but I would like to make it a few more years

Still trying to locate the leak. Rain stopped a few days ago so able to continue diagnosis. What do the last 48 hours tell you? More questions? Pump ON and normal operation BUCKET Test Day 1- 3/4" loss Pump ON and Main Drain OFF at valve Day 2- 1/2" loss Pump OFF and Main Drain OFF at...

Day 3 trying to find a leak. Day 1- Bucket test revealed a loss of 3/4" w/pump running Day 2- Shut off main drain loss of 1/4" w/pump running Thoughts? The main drain is a suction line. If it were cracked would it not be pulling in dirty water? I am having issues with the pump not getting...

We are beginning to think about renovating our inground pool. Bottom is concrete and the sides are fiberglass panels, I believe. During a renovation, are the panels replaced? What is behind them? I assume the bottom is sandblasted. How does the seem work between the bottom of the pool and...

NG 266K Raypak pool heater. It would not fire at the beginning of the season so I began to diagnose. So far I have replaced the pilot assembly and gas valve. Here is what I have to do in order for it to fire. PV, PVMV, MV all have to be connected to begin. Once the pilot lights, the LCD...

Has anyone found a way to clean your salt cell without buying the stand?

I would love some feedback on how to improve my plumbing. There are a couple very small leaks that I would like to improve and while doing that anything else that you would suggest

I got a new pump which was the same horsepower. Typically my pressure gauge was at 18 PSI. The new pump reads 13 and doesn't seem to be sucking near as hard. As you can see in the picture four of the lid "Chambers" show some air. Does this look like an issue to you guys?

Ok guys, here is what I know: - Bucket Test proved leak-1" per day loss - Dye test everywhere shows good-including a skimmer leak I fixed last year with 2 part epoxy - No bubble's on return line or at pump - Dug up all return lines to confirm-nothing I am letting the water drop naturally now...

I had not brushed my pool in awhile (concrete) and once I did it turned really cloudy. Check readings and some were a little off so I balanced. Waited 24 hours and still cloudy. Here are my readings FC- 12ppm CC-1 CH- 325 TA- 90 CYA- 45 PH- 7.2 Salt is at 3200ppm Thoughts?

LONG story but we are not going to be able to replace our pool light without running new conduit....So....what are some options out there? Multiple underwater "stick on" lights? Does anyone make a battery operated light to fit in standard niche's? Thoughts?

FC-1 CC-.5 CH- 300ppm CYA- 40 TA- 150 Salt at 3200ppm SWG is reading Check Cell. I cleaned a couple months ago. Pulled water from return and shows no Chlorine. SWG has been on Super Chlorinate since last night. Thoughts?

Hello, I need to replace one of my skimmers in my concrete pool. I have read how to do it.....a pain I know. My question is how to determine exactly what I need. There seem to be a few options but not a lot of specs. Any thoughts?

Not sure if I should be thrilled or concerned! I have not added salt to my pool or anything else for that matter for over a month. Levels are all good (PH could come down a little). Water is clear. Is that normal?

SWG has been stuck at 4200ppm (I know high) for over a month. I have turned off/on and added/flushed plenty of water and added no salt. Thoughts?

Cant do much with a winter cover until these are removed. Suggestions on the removal of these steps?

Suggestions? Epoxy? http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y527/February17th/0417151710_zpsenmmkd8g.jpg

Losing about an inch over 14ish hours. Is this normal or should I be concerned about a leak?

Hello everyone! We purchased a house with a concrete pool. My issue is that the concrete decking around the pool is flaking off horribly. You can take your shoe and move it back and forth over it and it flakes off. My fear is that my kids feet will really be torn up this summer if I do not...
