After winterizing pool/spa combo do you refill the spa or keep it half way as it is. I don’t want to ruin new plaster? I have solid cover Thank you.

@ajw22. Do you know with cyclone or in general with air pressure - once all pipes are blown out and locked - air has nowhere to escape; is that a problem for piping? Do I have to turn off the air/cyclone as soon as last pipe is air locked?

@ajw22 I was told that with heavy snow i cant rely on just spring and need frozen water to support the cover. I mainly wanted advice on how to blow out main drain knowing that it is both on suction and return line. Also do you know for Cyclone - does connection need to be really tight when...

I also have solid cover so I need to support it that is why I thought of only draining 2 inches below skimmers.

@ajw22 @Catanzaro I updated the thread with my set up. See I have main drain both in suction and return side. Do I blow it both and airlock it? or only one is enough and keep valve closed on the other side? I dont have great unions down stream but I was thinking if multiport is set on...

@ajw22 . Since you are in the same area as I am, may be you can help and check on my list. Thank you

I am trying to close pool myself this year but am scared that I will miss something. I have read multiple thread and watch TFP video on closing. I need step by step help with closing to make sure I do it correctly. Please comment if I am missing something. I have inground 25k pool with spillover...

1. When closing the pool do we need to blow out the spa air blower line and if so how to do it? 2. And another question which I know gets a lot of attention here. The closing instructions say to lower water below the return line and then refill ( I have solid cover) but it would cause...

Good morning ladies and gentlemen. We recently purchased TF 100 and trying to learn how other people are able to give such precise measurements after their test at home. I feel like we have a range for pH or Hardness. How do you determine your actual number rather than range? Thanks in advance.

Good evening I hope some can give me an advice about bubbles in return jets of the spa I get consistent bubbles from one of my spa jets and occasionally the one next to it without air blower being on. Is that normal? My blower is old and I am thinking may be check valve going bad. It does work...

Thanks for getting back to me. The pump doesn’t drain. I am not sure about the filter but I presume water gets displaced since I can release air through relief valve. I am getting new O rings for my filter and relief valve. It just surprises me because initially it is large amount of air that...

Ok. I just want to clarify. It didn’t do that 1 month ago. Is it ok to have air entering somewhere into the plumbing but no visible water leak. Thanks

Thank you guys for all the help Over the years. I am back for another advice. Recently I have noticed every morning when I turn pump on there is a lot of air coming out of return for the first minute or so and then no more bubbles. No bubbles in the pump. I also have to empty air from the DE...

Hi guys thank you for being around to support us every day Joes in the pool adventure. I am considering replacing my Spa Bright light but didn’t want to change the nitche. I was wondering if anyone knows what light would be compatible for that nitche. I have Compool controller and ok using on...

I was wondering if anyone closed the pool without lowering water below returns. My friend from the pool company was helping me close the pool and he lowered the water below the tiles and he just blew out the lines until bubbles were coming for at least 2 minutes and then plugged with gizmo at...

How did it turn out? I am try to figure out if I should use them also?

How did it turn out? Were they good with price and shipping? Any insite on quality of replacement material

CJ. Thank for the reply. I was wondering if you think 5200 will hold since it doesn't expand and the problem is with expansion. You think it will hold to pressure of heaving of concrete in winter. Thanks. I had never used 3M 5200 that is why asking. I went to local ACE store and they recommended...

I was wondering if anyone can give me an advice on how urgent it is to replace this skimmer. The separation is most likely from concrete deck moving the top portion of the skimmer. The pool is not leaking unless water gets too high to that "separation". I am trying to seal it to prevent moisture...

I know it a stretch but I was thinking about this as possibility to save money as well as help my deck not to get worse. It is not bad right now and I posted pic in a different thread before. I researched this jacking up the deck. And there are two ways they do it. My main concern is plumbing...

I am in the same situation as you are. I have couplenof deck sections there below the coping. I am also scared about damage to the pool plumbing from mudjacking. Interested to hear what you willl find out

Thank you Kim. On inside it looks fine. The coping is stable and not loose. I also try to put in some putty on inside ( the the lip of coping and tile). I don't think there is anyway to prevent the shift of the deck but the question would be if further difference between coping and Deck would...

Hi Thank you everyone for previous help with pool chemistry. Now I have more of cosmetic but structural question. I live in southeast PAand we do get cold winters. One side of my deck is experiencing more freeze and movement compare to other sides. This side is by the spa. I have about 1...

Hi I wanted to check on something. I have to partially drain my attached hot tub in concrete pool to replace. the lightbulb. I was wondering if draining the hot tub could cause it to pop out? I am still keeping water about half way. My light fixture cord is not long enough for take it out...
