I was wondering that myself, however there is no leakage coming from the PSI gauge. I even changed out the gauge to a new one as well.

Hi folks, Just opened my pool in mid May and have had some issues with it. My pump lost prime once and I have noticed that my returns just seem to be weaker than I am accustomed in years past. Today I was checking and i saw there is a leak beneath the multiport valve. I did see dry water...

The pump basket is full of water, however at times i have seen air bubbles in it. I will check the o - ring and report back. - - - Updated - - - Hi Jim, thanks for the reply. I backwashed last week and everything seemed fine. Good outflow from backwash pipes. Thanks for the recirculate...

Hello All, I am having some issues with my pool and looking for guidance to where I should be looking. So, approx 1-2 weeks ago, I was getting 0 psi from the filter gauge and I thought it was broken, I replaced it with another gauge and everything was fine for a couple of days, however then I...

My CYA last summer ran between 50-60; The bather load was average. We are a family a 4 and then the occasional guests, kids parties, etc. This 1-2 bottle requirement did occur in the midst of Summer months(mainly July/Aug) where temps were high and we did have some occasional rainy days. - - -...

Yes, I am in the same ballpark; I received $1900-$2K plus taxes. That includes the unit, install, anode and the initial salt. I was looking into buying the unit online and having someone install it, however it takes a big risk. If the unit fails, the manufacture will not honor the warranty...

Hello All, I have decided to go with a SWG for my pool and hope to have it installed soon prior to this season. Although, I love this site and have a learned a great deal, the daily need for pool testing and carrying tons of bleach thru walmart/costco has made my decision easier. There were...

I don't have any lights in the pool... I do have two stairs and 5 returns and 1 vacuum port. I never specifically cleaned around them, however i do brush near them every now and then. I assumed my dolphin was taking care of the brushing and felt if I kept my FC levels high enough, I would be ok...

I guess to be completely honest, I hadn't brushed the walls for a couple of weeks, however I did run my dolphin cleaner several times. i thought that would suffice.

Hey All, I needed your advice on why I could have an algae problem as I am stumped. Just a background, I opened my pool and had an algae issue and completed the SLAM process with meeting all 3 of the criteria. Since then, I have had no issues and have kept my FC above the target chlorine level...

I have two skimmers and one main drain.... The pool depth is from 4 to 8 feet... I only plan on replacing about a foot of water or so at a time Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

How do I make sure I am drawing from main drains and not the skimmers.. Sorry for dumb questions, just want to make sure I do it right Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Yeah unfortunately this is my first summer with the pool, thus have never winterized the pool. I have no idea what the bottom of the pool is. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Hello All, As the title states I need to do a partial drain and I have googling the issues with hydrostatic pressure and I have been hesitant to do so thus far. Just FYI, I am very new to pool ownership. I have been in the house for one month and my pool is turning into the green monster. I...

Thanks all for the great advice. I already love this forum. I have been reading it since midway through the closing cycle. I will likely do the drain after this weekend (have a nice 4th of July planned with the family in the pool). Will post results afterwards. Yes, I did test for CC. It was...

Hello Kim, Lol, thanks for the nice words. It's telling me I need to drain about 25-30% of the pool volume based on the numbers I plugged in. For Chlorine - I am using the leftover chemicals that were left over the previous owner. They are trichlor tabs. I will look into buying the liquid...

Hello All, As the title summarizes, I just closed on my house and became a pool owner for the 1st time. I have read through pool school and even purchased the testing kit (TF-100)and even the glycerin pressure gauge prior to closing. ( Just a note to others, don't change the gauge to the pool...
