    New pool, with a leak??

    No, is it possible to not backwash to waste? I watched the water from the filter go out the waste pipe and then I rinsed and that water went out the waste pipe. There is about a half inch difference between the bucket water level and the pool water level (after two days) . Bucket is on...

    New pool, with a leak??

    How much full sun needed to keep pool comfortable.

    I live in Eastern PA. We have only one suitable spot for our pool, but it is in almost full shade until about Noon and then pretty much full sun the rest of the day. How big of an issue do you think this will cause us as far as keeping the pool at comfortable temperature? If we use one of...
