leaking

When I turn off the pump and open the lid the water drains, but when the lid is closed and the pump is on, it overflows and leaks regardless of the flow level inside the chlorinator. This is a new problem for me. Equipment is only 1 year old. I know first step is to check / replace the o-ring...

Hi TFP Folks, and thanks for taking the time to read this. I am a bit at my wit's end. I bought a house in 2022 that had a 30,000 gallon in-ground pool. The prior owner told me that they used to have a caretaker floor system for cleaning the pool, but didn't like it and when they re-did the...

Hi everyone! I recently came home from being out of town and noticed my swim spa was losing water. I followed the leak and found this 1/2 inline check valve to apparently be the problem (at least so far) There are two inline check valves on this side of the spa, neither are attached to anything...

I purchased my home in the fall of 2023 which included an in-ground pool. I have a friend with a pool store who helped me open the pool a week ago. We had a heck of a time getting the pump to prime but i was finally able to get it primed and began running the pump. Once it started running it...

The PB just filled our pool and moisture has begun to make its way into the exposed side of the wall. My guess is that they didn’t use the correct product behind the tile. The two pictures are the back view and the one is the front view. Open for suggestions. Thanks for the input.

My Intex SF70110-2 sand filter (purchased 2 months ago) began leaking out of nowhere. I have taken the pre-filter housing apart, and lubed the o rings, but it still leaked. Took it apart again and wrapped the o rings in Teflon tape, added a bit more lube, and eased the pre-filter housing back on...

would love to get some help as this is all new (and very frustrating!) to me. opened my in-ground vinyl pool for the season. noticed a ton of sand in the pool - had company over to replace valve and sand in my filter. sand still coming into pool. company came back did a thorough backwash and all...

Hey guys, I bought a house with an above ground pool so I’ve been trying to learn everything I can, but I’m having a tough time. I’m fine on chemicals, my water is nice and clear, but these are my issues: 1. Where the hoses connect to the pump and filter, they keep dripping. I’ve tried a few...

I have a 16ft above ground pool that is giving me the business this year. When I originally opened it up and gave my initial run of chemicals it was working fine. Now, if I let the pump run for 10 minutes, water will start leaking from the waste line and get progressively worse. First, I opened...

Hello, I'm trying to track down a possible suction side leak. Any advice? Attached picture shows the pump inlet pipe which comes from 3 valves (shallow skimmer, main drain, and deep skimmer). Symptoms: When the pump is shut off, the water level in the pump basket starts going down slowly...

Hello everyone! Our pool was finished about 3 months ago and everything has been running smoothly until we noticed water pooling behind our sheer decent water feature. Upon investigation, we noticed the water leaking from the back of one of the pipes, as well as water seeping out of the...

Hi -- So, my 2009 Hayward S244T developed a bit of a leak where the Vari-Flo top meets the top of the tank, and you use the clamps to seal it. I needed filter media replacement anyway, so I took off the Vari-Flo top off to replace the sand with Blü Filter Balls, and added three unions on...

Hello Everyone, Just wondering how many times is it acceptable to ask them to fix the same leaks after resurfacing the pool/jacuzzi? My Jacuzzi is leaking water by the light fixture, at first the contractor told me he couldn't find the leak, I had to do a leak test myself and found the leak...

Hello I just bought a house with a pool and have noticed it leaking. My pump currently runs from 9AM until 4PM. In the morning, prior to the pump turning on, there is no drop in water level in the pool; but, the spa is always lower by 4-5 inches every day. When the pump turns on, I wait 30...

Our pool is only three years old, and this year it has been a thorn in our side - expensive, time-consuming and frustrating. Our contractor claims everything is out of warranty. We have had a slow leak, about 1-2 a day, which means our chemicals are always off and I'm filling with a hose every...

So the pool is losing 3 inches per day I ran fix a leak and another product both ways or I reverse plumbed it and no luck. I also used an underwater epoxy and completely epoxy the niche. Since I saw water running into the pool from the niche before I opened the pool last year. I also ran fix a...

Well you guys helped me cut my pvc pipe last time to open my filter up to change the sand but I’m back again with another problem that I neglected earlier until I realized it was slowly draining my water level in the pool. One thing to note. 1) when I bought the house the heater didn’t work...

I've been in state of remodel for my pool due to a leak that started back in January. I will update this thread with a bunch of progress photos and learning as it's been quite a roller coaster adventure! Currently 86 days into it. From drain to replastering, back to drain for to repair, and now...

Purchased a house with a pool about a year ago and this is my first pool season. The pool pump failed shortly after purchase and as a total novice, I thought the bigger, more powerful, the better. Now as I am learning more, I’ve come to realize that this may not have been the best choice and may...

We just bought and are 75% finished installing a 18’8” I text pool. There is 14” of water in it. I notice a small area while installing side panel slats that there was a little bit of water between the liner and the tarp. All other areas that could still be checked were fine. The area the water...

Hello All, After replacing the motor for my WhisperFlo WF-28 pump and all related gaskets and the shaft seal, I noticed a steady stream leaking from the bottom of the seal plate (see attachments). It turned out two small pieces cracked off the seal plate, and it might have happened when I tried...

Hi all, just opened our pool and noticed there’s a slight drip from the top of my filter. I didn’t notice it until about 2-3 days of the filter running. It appears to be coming from the one bolt. I did make sure it’s tight. First year opening the pool myself, pool company cleaned the filter when...

Bought SunHeater S120U Universal Solar Pool Heater 2 by 20-Feet last year, used to extend my season BUT I never achieved a leak free connection to 1.5” vacuum hose. Tried flex seal tape, as well as various connectors. Want to start this spring off right with a worry free connection. Pics...

Hi Everyone, We had extreme weather here in Houston which resulted in my Jandy LXi heater leaking from the return header, I have the part on order but my pumps are off due to the water passing through the heater… I can’t figure out if I have a bypass! Can anyone tell from this photo if there...
