Happy spring to all!! Opened our pool today (little early for east coast) but want to enjoy more of pool time than screen time for kids :swim:. Unfortunately, the sand filter is leaking from the top. Tried the lube to seal and the o ring was bought 2 years back. What could be the reason...

No change in water. The water is light green and cloudy now. on the shallow side i can see the algae settled dwn but still water is not at all clear on deep side. The filter has been running for 7 days no. non sto[p, just off for few hours in between. For the skimmer you had suggest to...

Good morning, Sorry was really busy last two days so couldnt do the small test you suggested. I didnt now and found two things.:cool: . The water does go through the inlet to the skimmer as I saw movement in it. second thing, I tried the reverse of what you had told. I put the garden hose in...

:cool: Good morning. Thank you for taking out time to reply in detail. Yes we do have a main drain at the bottom of the pool (deep side). There is no movement in the skimmer when I change the knobs. I will backwash today. I was hoping to vacuum out some algae from the bottom and wall of the pool...

I think I have some problem, as I mentioned if the knob is in middle the water in the basket near the pump doest flow. Its been more than 12 hours and I see no chnage in the water. pool - Album on Imgur. Only the outlets on the wall are working the skimmer doesnt seems to be working at all. I...

Following are my first test results:- CH= 0 BR= 0 pH= 7.2 Ca= 200 Alkalinity test= 100 CYA <20 Please advise what should I do? Should I add more chlorine, should I brush the floor and water? Thanks

Thanks clearing so much. I still have some questions and concerns:- 1) Should I start brushing the chemical they put on the liner. You can see in the picture the white stuff, some of it is clouds reflections and some of the chemicals. 2) Can I start cleaning the walls of the pool with the...

Thanks for the quick reply Texas Splash. I had bought a test kit TF-100 in 08/2015 and kept it in the basement ever since. Do you think that will be still good. I did change the know to right side. I see water coming from the oulets in the pool walls. Also just to mention my pool has only one...

Hey all, Happy summer. I really need guidance from you all. We had new pool in 2015 (renovated from old pool), new water, new liner, new plaster. Last year because of some reasons we couldnt open the pool but yet close it by calling some pool services. Now we opened the pool today. Attached are...

Happy Autumn to all!! We didnt open our pool this year and want to take necessary steps to keep the pipes from cracking. We have a lot of water in the skimmer. Is that normal? How can we empty that? We didnt open the pool at all this summer. So the motor is disconnected. We tried using the our...

Happy summer to all!! I was looking for some advise from you experts. Due to family emergency we couldnt open our pool this year and we still wouldnot be able to. I have few concerns:- 1) The algae on top of it.(Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet) 2) Any treatmeant I should do to...

The pool that came with house that we recently bought has an old pool cover Meyco. It's a rugged mesh cover but has few holes in the center. Not very big just less than 1/2inch. Do you think I can patch it up with Amazon.com : Meyco Green Cover Patch (Pack of 3) (MeycoLite) : Patio, Lawn Garden...

Sure thanks !!

I dont see any number on the wire.. and again pls ignore my lack of knowledge of technical terms. when u say jacket i am presuming its the black cover tht keeps the three wires together. I looked and i dnt see any numbers on it unless jacket is something else ;) - - - Updated - - - There are...

BTW Chris I read ur main drain story.. I think I'm also somewhere close.. Can't say for sure.. But I always have debris near my main drain.. I always vacuum it out.. At least u had a lot of experience as a pool owner and I have none..so it m just going to ignore that fact of no main drain ;)...

Thank you so much Chris. Just one more thing... by looking at the wire how do we find what # it is? I know if I buy new one I would know. Can one just by looking at the wire know what # it is? I have a 20A circuit breaker. Thanks a bunch again..

Thank you for all the help. I went to a nearest pool store to get the terminal board. There was a young kid behind the counter and he just suggested me tht I really don't need to change the terminal as the points to which the wires are hooked up are not burnt. I have a picture of it attached. He...

Sorry about not using the proper names of the parts..By googling more I found the name of the part I was talking earlier. Its the A O smith terminal board. that is burned out where the white wire is connected. The white wire is all burnt and it is slightly stuck to the green wire, aft melting I...

I see the wire burnt up. I can fix that but wht about the station it was hooked up on. Do u think I will get these parts at home depot? thanks

So this pool came with the house and it was in a very bad condition. We fixed up everything. Even the motor was gone. So we replaced it with another motor which was working just fine only thing is we haven't connected it to the whole pool circuit. We were thinking that its jst one month and we...

I don't hear any humming and the breaker didn't trip. I will take out the motor cap and click some pics and send. thanks

This morning when I tried to start the motor and plugged it in I saw some sparks near where the wire joins the motor. I don't understand the reason for it and it has stopped working since then :( Does that mean the motor is busted or just the wiring? I am crossing my fingers . Thanks

Hoh it was the perfect day to be in the pool!! thanks to you all... my kids had a blast..sharing their fun time and i am proud to see the blue sparkling water again.

Thanks Dom. I am a bit confused here, should the FC be 3-4ppm for swimming or 12ppm? because if it 12ppm I will have to add more chlorine before my kids jump into pool today. Also there was just a slight tint of pink when I was testing for CC, is that ok?

Thank you..:bowdown: bt these stores are far off. I cleared the OCLT:party:.. My kids have two school days off and wanted to swim in the pool :bounce: .. water looks blue and sparkling but the chlorine levels are still high. What can i do to get them back down to 3-4ppm?

Thanks Kim it was:goodpost: and put it in a good way... Pool is getting bluer, my kids have been :calm: and patient .. When the motor was not running i used to brush it twice a day and add chlorine.. kids used to help mix too by swimming ard.. I would say with this slamming I have gained some...
