water level

Hi all! New pool owner here with 2 questions. 1. Shouldn’t the water level always be below the top of the skimmer? My understanding is the skimmer works to skim and clean the surface of the water, so if the water level is higher than the top or the skimmer, it can’t and won’t do it’s job. 2...

I got my pool winterized about a month back by a pool servicing company. After winterization, I noticed they dropped the water level near the bottom of the skimmer. Due to recent rains, the water level has risen almost to the top. I live in Raleigh and the pool surface gets frozen for a...

I've been scratching my head on this one. After reading various posts, I performed the following troubleshooting with no resolution: Replaced Check Valve Done a dye method to see if water is leaking in the SPA only (doesn't go anywhere, maybe to slow to detect) Placed valves B and E in the...

Pool guy replaced the sand in my filter over the weekend and put my pool back in auto. Now the spa level seems an inch or two higher than usual, the waterfall feature is way thicker and the water is spilling out of the spa under the coping and on to the pool deck. We're expecting a short freeze...

I came across this: Add water to the pool automatically and since it was an old thread I started a new one. I did something similar to this post but added a simple way to make it automatic. If you estimate or actually measure the rate of water evaporation (measure inches of water level lost in...

Hi all! I will be winterizing my above-ground Coleman rectangular steel-frame pool (22 x 12 feet) for the first time this winter (normally I would take it down and set it back up but it's a lot of hassle and a lot of $$ getting it refilled every year). My biggest hmm-haw is what should I bring...

EDIT: I think I've narrowed down the problem. See bottom of post. I have a poolside spa that shares pump and plumbing with the in-ground pool. Normally water flows over the edge of the spa and into the pool. When the pool pump turns off, the spa remains full of water, as it should. When the spa...

I am experiencing issues with my pool's water levels. My pool has a spa built in with a spillover. I also have my pool pump running for five hours a day. When the pool pump is running and the water level in the pool is ideal, everything is good. When the pool pump turns off, issues start...

Hi, I am new here and am hoping that someone can share some information regarding an issue I am having. We had a negative edge pool built recently and right next to it is a sunken firepit lounge. The way that it was designed, whenever we use the pool, the water flows right out of the pool into...

I have a mystery with my pool water level. I have an inground pool (16 x 36) with a vinyl liner and one skimmer. The water level in the pool was sitting at the top of the skimmer due to some recent rains a few days ago. Then we had 8 inches of rain in one day due to the remnants of Hurricane...

What can cause this much water loss per day? We fill it up and it goes right back down to where the skimmer flap is. We had two holes on the second step of the pool. I have patched those but water is still leaking out for somewhere.

I am looking for a way to monitor how high the water level is in my pool. Ideally I'd like some kind of wifi monitor that can tell me how high/low my water level is, so I can decide if I want to add more water. I dont need an automatic filler, just something that can remotely tell me the...
