a leaky pool is a common problem and a decent pool company should be able get you squared away true pool companies that also build pools tend to focus more on the builds cause that is where the money is so maybe try to find a pool company that does not build

I like the hydro unions the 1.5 and 2 inch inner change comes in handy

My last raypak went 12 years with no problems until mice got in and chewed up the wires over winter

I second Paul on going with raypak you will still have a warranty even if you don't get it from a pool store as far as installing it it's not that hard but your dealing with gas so you should have a pro do it

I have chlorinators on most of my pools if not I use a floater prevent the chlorine from damaging my skimmer line at the 90

For me it depends what time of the year it is spring (opening season) Teflon tape, various o-rings for pumps filters coordinator, magic lube, various skimmer and pump baskets , plugs for pumps and filters and opening chems Summer ( maintenance season) after my pools are opened I keep a lot...

Thanks Chemgeek for the info now that I think about it with cya getting high with using pucks and granular shock where I live we close the pools so we have to lower water about 8 inches below tile line (mesh cover) before the cya would get out of the ideal level range

Also as you said you had high nitrates and high phosphates Your chlorine demand increased In my buisness the more chlorine I am putting in a pool less my money I am making plus the people who do not touch there pool are calling me complaining what's wrong with my pool so in conclusion it is the...

I said nitrites not nitrates

What I am confused about is how you can maintain proper FC to CYA ratio when free chlorine is removed quickly from the chemical reaction from nitrites

So the consensus around here is that the presence of high nitrates does NOT Cause rapid algae growth

Nitrates and nitrites are products of nitrogen gas. Nitrate which consist of a single nitrogen atom connected to 3 oxygen atoms(No3) is extremely stable or hard to remove. Nitrogen (No2) can enter your pool water from a variety of sources. It combines with oxygen to form nitrites (No2). This...

All I am saying last year working in maryland I had a couple of POOLs that turned green overnight and we could not get them to come back around we found high nitrates in the pool we drained water and refilled which lowered nitrates in the pool problem solved we came to the conclusion it was...

In my experience when a pool that I had just done maintenance on had turned green over night knowing I had just shocked and added pucks I would test it for nitrates and phosphates and 1 or the other would be high so in my terms they eat up the chlorine - - - Updated - - - How did this even...

This off topic side conversation has been moved into it's own topic. JasonLion True only way to lower cya is to drain and add fresh water have your water checked for phosphates and nitrates they eat up chlorine

I am in the northern part of va we have a couple of pools that have been closed for a couple years we winterized them put a cover on and do a once a month check where we add chlorine clean cover and deck area flip motors on real quick to prevent them from seizing up I'm sure a pool company...
