DIY Pool Care

[jesselopez]

Just wanted to say thanks for your videos. Before I found your channel I was paying $95/month to a pool guy who didn’t know what he was doing. Now I take care of my pool myself and it’s never looked cleaner!

After my pool has gone dark green a couple of times, a friend said to add tons of chlorine and algaecide then to run the filter 24/7 til clear. Three days and lots of $$$ in chemicals and there was not much improvement. I bought a pump at harbor freight for $60. Renting one requires two trips and is not cheaper. I probably had my pool empty too long but no damage resulted...thank Goodness. I opened my filter canister and that pumped the water out faster to the lawn but I stopped that when the lawn got wet and before there was enough water to migrate back to the pool. I had heard horror stories about pools popping out. The pressure washer at Harbor Freight for $80 is the best I have owned. This was a helluva lot easier than brushing the sides had the chlorine and pump worked. Hope this helped.

What leaf rake do you recommend for inground plaster pools.

I'm in the East Valley, I drain mine in January, preferably right after New Year's, when it's typically the coldest time of the year out here. Iget my pump and hoses from HD,

What about removing the plug in the bottom drain so that your pool doesn't pop out the ground?

How do you know if your pool has a crack that's leaking water or how often should you be putting water in your pool

Hi Kenny I think your videos are very practical and useful, l I've just partially drained and refilled with fresh water and my stabilzer now is around 50 ppm my query is to prevent in the future high stabilzer would you recommend chlorine or calcium hypochlorite 70% thanks Paul

If you are draining the pool do you need to check the hydrostatic relief valve? I've read this is sometimes the cause of the pool popping. Do I need to check this valve? Do I need to open to release any pressure? Any insight will be great appreciated.

Does a pool need to be drained to relocate your equipment and pad?

Just drained, acid washed and regrouted tiles (as some were falling off after 8 years). Really appreciate advice as to how soon after grouting can refill pool. Pool is covered with tarpaulin and daytime temp 95F. Many thanks

I love your overall demeanor when doing these videos. Glad I came across your channel, which I subscribed to. You are very enjoyable to listen to. Hope you can help me with the problems I've been having, since no-one else seems to be able to (other than the suggestions I mentioned in either my email or comment on the other video.)

I have a 30, 000 gallon Inground pool. It has sat up for over a year and is full of leaves at the bottom and now sludge. It is a vinyl liner. Can I not drain it, clean it out, and refill it? I’m being told it will ruin the liner if I do it this way. Please help. Thanks!

I need to change the bottom drain ring in my in ground pool. I have to patch a hole right next to it. Just wondering if I drain all of the water out for like an hour before I start to refill is going to hurt it?

Which chemicals to add after refilling new water in swimming pool

[JC-gfeo]

Brand new (1week) homeowner here, never owned a pool in my life. 20, 000 gallons gunite. Total and Free Chlorine at 12.17 and CYA at 117. Was told to drain 12” and refill to dilute by pool store after testing water. Closing in 1-2 weeks…worth it? I’m going crazy over here (live in PA).

HELP! - I live in Texas and need to drain pool due to unsavable water. Plus, it hasn't been changed in 15 years so it's time. My question is how much of the water do I need to drain to get chemistry back to normal? I see these pools popping out of the ground and don't want to risk that. Old pool, concrete. Thanks in advance!

I can't seem to get the green out my pool, no matter how many products the pool place has recommended. Should I just drain and refill? It's a 32×16×52 above ground pool

[josephtheinflatableguy]

how does the pump manufacturer make it safe for the electrical cord on the pump to go into the water?

[gabif]

I've heard that it is NOT GOOD to acid wash a Pebble Tech Pool is that true?
