    Pool Skimmer Crack

    Thanks, everyone for any help you can give. On the large photo that is a leaf on the left. The crack is around the water outlet. The pink color is from putting die in to determine the leak. I am wondering if there are any suggestions as to whether Flex-seal (local pool store recommended) or...

    Hayward ColorLogic 4.0 Light?

    I had a colorlogic for about 3 years. It has not worked the last 2 years. It seems the reviews were correct regarding mine. It got water inside after a couple of years and shorted out. It had very, very few uses on it. I always tried to reserve the bulb by making sure not to use it unless...

    How would you repair this leak? Video

    After repairing the leak (crossing fingers with a positive attitude), what concrete mix would you use to pour back in. I'm thinking I will wait and not refill immediately, but I want to know what to buy.

    How would you repair this leak? Video

    I'm not sure how much water loss because I have to add water when I run the pump. I stopped running it regularly as soon as water temp dropped.

    How would you repair this leak? Video

    Thank you so much for the responses. I'm thinking about tracing a skimmer cover or a square that equals the size of a few of the same bricks that are around the pool. That way if I just can't get the replacement concrete to look good, i could just work the bricks in or cover it with a skimmer...

    How would you repair this leak? Video

    That corner piece of concrete is a large rectangular piece. The split was the line they put to help with cracking, but the leak has opened this one up. It doesn't look bad, but it is definitely separated all the way through. The water seeps into the ground. It only shows up as a damp spot in the...

    Need advice. Pros/Cons solid vs. mesh cover...

    Some reviews for mico-mesh are not good. I suspect, like most things, some are better than others. What brand did you get and from where? Thanks!!!!!

    How would you repair this leak? Video

    Hello, I have a pretty large pool leak under my concrete. I have read many of the threads on this site about cutting concrete. I'm thinking of getting a diamond blade for my circular saw and trying to take a square out of the concrete to get to the broken pipe. Please, look at the video and...

    swimming pool covers???

    I really, really appreciate the pictures and the description. So, yours is a solid cover, not mesh. Does it have the slots to let rain water drain into pool? If not, why did you decide to get one without them. I'm sorry to be so ignorant about them. We do have leaves and it seems our spring...

    swimming pool covers???

    Hi Alben; Would you be able to post a photo or link to the cover you have? Also, if you put it right back on, where does it sit when you take it off? Does it pull back under a diving board or something? We are trying to keep ours leaf free. The dry summer is causing leaves to fall, now. It is...

    Clay Dirt on Bottom of Pool

    It has even stained my steps. I had the dirt last year, but it didn't stain my steps. I'm not sure what I will do about that. I sweep it off the steps all the time and it doesn't seem like there is enough on them to do that, but it did. GRRRRR

    Clay Dirt on Bottom of Pool

    I did read the other thread on the dirt on the bottom of the pool and it seems that most people vacuum it. We have a Polaris 280 cleaner. I have put socks on it, socks on the skimmers and it is catching some of my clay dirt. It still settles to the bottom. I don't have a hand held vacuum, that...

    Please Help! Pool leak (under concrete) freeze tonight

    With enough water back in the pool, the water or air running noise is much louder when the MD is open all the way. It is less when the MD is partially open. I can't close it very much because it appears that the 2 skimmers cannot take in enough water without the MD to keep enough air out of the...

    Please Help! Pool leak (under concrete) freeze tonight

    There is air in the strainer basket with the MD open. Earlier there was air in it with it turned off, too. The pool level was lower then because we had not looked in the dome and noticed the loss of water. We thought it was a pump issue until we noticed we had lost so much water. After just...

    Please Help! Pool leak (under concrete) freeze tonight

    We ran our pump last night due to cold weather. We noticed yesterday that the water level had seemed to go down faster than normal. We filled the pool yesterday. This morning we had lost 6" of water. We can hear a leak under the concrete at one of the seams. When I turn off the main drain...

    Longer Volleyball Net

    Has anyone been able to find a volleyball net the stretches the length of the pool instead of the width. It would need to be about 40 + feet long. We have a 38 ft pool with steps in the end. Also, does anyone have a pool basketball set you especially like? We built our pool late in the year...

    Blow out just deck jets (pic)

    PoolGuyNJ.........I understand. We have purchased a dome and a wood heater to make it as long as we can into winter. We will most likely winterize the entire pool for the worst part of winter. We are just trying to protect the lines that will freeze more easily, now. This would be for any...

    Blow out just deck jets (pic)

    They are Jandy Deck Jets that have a plastic nozzel inside that screws off (pic). They come 4 to a pack. I am also concerned whether it will be possible to winterize the slide line without winterizing the entire pool (pic). The only cut-off I see for it is under the slide.

    Blow out just deck jets (pic)

    I have attached a photo, without the leaves, of the T-cell area. After the cell, I see a larger T going into the ground. Is that the water that goes back to the pool returns? The next T is smaller, I believe that leads to the deck jets. The red cut-off there is just for a small feature we have...

    Blow out just deck jets (pic)

    I want to winterize the deck jest only because I am most afraid of them freezing. They won't be running when I turn the pump on at freezing temps. The pipes for them are only under the concrete.

    Blow out just deck jets (pic)

    We are going to try and keep our pool open through the winter. For now, we want to blow out just the deck jets and just the pool slide line. How do we just empty these lines and fill them with RV antifreeze, while leaving the other lines open? We are new pool owners and live in middle TN. The...

    Is it possible my pool has NO control for overflow???

    I am very surprised that my new pool has no type of overflow drain. Never being around a pool, I thought the term "main drain" meant the water would flow out when the pool got too full :oops: . Now, after having a ton of rain over the last couple of weeks and having to drain manually a half...
