Hmm, so if I wanted to try to glue it on to reattach it, would something like a super glue be safe for the water once it's dried?

I think it actually snapped off and a part of it is still inside the concrete, so hoping I could sort of glue it back to that piece... I do have a pool robot and I think it may have helped this piece come loose when scrubbing the water line.

I have a black plastic trim piece (sort of like a deflector?) that goes around the pool just above the water line between the tile and the concrete top edge. In one area it started coming loose, it looks like it was put into the concrete when it was made, but I'm wondering if I could glue it...

Is there any problems with having an inground plaster pool too full with water, and how full is too full? I understand the skimmer won't work correctly, but I was curious whether it will damage the upper part of the concrete if it's overflowing, etc? Thanks!

Thanks all so far for your help, I made it through my first summer and had zero problems! I have a few questions going into winter (and I'm located in the Sacramento, CA valley, so our winters are very mild, usually only a few days a year that barely go below 30F.) From what I've read, I don't...

Ok thanks, yes only liquid chlorine since I moved in.

Thanks, I don't appear to have any cloudiness, but the pH typically will slowly rise over time. It will typically go from 7.6 to 8 over a couple weeks or so. Is this normal? It's hard to tell about the scaling as it appears to already have some on the tile that's at the water line (from the...

Hi, can I get some opinions on my levels? They're currently: FC 4.5 pH 8.0 CH 525 TA 90 CYA 50 I need to get a thermometer, but I'm guessing the water temp. is around 65-70F? In that case, I think the CSI is around .52? It seems my CH is getting high and should I be concerned about the CSI? I...

Oh, forgot to add CH... It's at 500

Hi all, I just got my TF-100 kit, and here are my results: pH 7.4 FC 2 CYA 50-55 TA 70-80 TC/CC It stayed clear - 0? CH 500 We had quite a bit of rain yesterday and the pool is now overfilled, I think I should drain it down to normal and then add chlorine? I'm still not sure on the size of...

The water does stay in the basket when shut off, as long as it was full to begin with. I'm not sure if I can isolate the skimmer from the pool drain? I seem to only have one pipe coming from "pool". It looks like the water is about halfway up the skimmer door, and it's full with plenty of water...

Thanks, I took apart the two valves on the suction side and they both look like they're in good condition. I also tried the water test on them and it didn't seem to affect it. I noticed that if I turn the valve on the right in that picture (the 3-way suction valve from the spa or the pool) so...

Hi, I just purchased a new home that has a built in pool and spa. I'm completely new to owning a pool and I hope to do the maintenance myself, but I think I need to learn a lot first. I tested the water with a basic pool test kit and it showed the pH to be about 8 I think and the chlorine...
