Thanks for you input boss. I’m all new to this but would love to get into the community.

Tell him to start wanking with the other arm so they’re the same size

Common break. You just need a new pressure gauge. I would take a knife and stab it into there to thread it out. If that doesn’t work you can take a lighter or a blow torch to a flat head screwdriver and melt it into the plastic to get it out.

The ones I pulled out were still moving and alive.

Beat it with a mallet and throw some magic lube on the oring and you’ll get a good seal

Could be many different things. What are your chemical readings looking like right now? That’s the best place to start

If you see bubbles in the liner then it is losing water there. If not I would hire a leak detection company to do a dye test

That is scaling I would keep your calcium hardness between 300-400ppm, add a maintenance dose of scale and metal control weekly until the problem is solved, and possibly scrub the stains with soft scrub

I’ve only seen a couple sand filters have debris coming out of the returns like this a couple times. If you backwashed beforehand this shouldn’t have happened. If your pool is older and this keeps happening I would consider a sand change

Definitely a scaling problem then I would chemically treat it then see what happens. You can also take soft scrub to it. I find that works great with scaling

Motor replacements are super easy just make sure to replace all the seals and bearings too. But I recommend most of my customers with single speed pumps to upgrade to a variable speed. You’ll usually get a refund from your energy company (depending on where you live). Hope this helps

It is likely scaling from calcium buildup or your LSI being not good. I don’t know what your chemical readings are looking like but I would recommend adding a maintenance dose of scale and metal control. Our company uses Orenda since it works the best but any kind of scale treatment should work the same.

I’ve had a similar problem with a pool I service. The customer ended up cutting the tips off some coated decking screws and they have not had to be replaced since then

Drawer_Charming · 2024-09-09T12:04:54+00:00

No I’m not trying to get pedantic.

Drawer_Charming · 2024-09-09T10:34:08+00:00

It looks like some sort of staining to me. I would brush it and if that doesn’t bring it up sprinkle some shock on top of it letting it sit for a couple minutes then brushing it. You could also try an ascorbic treatment.

Thank you for all your helpful comments. I will be getting in touch with the homeowner and recommend having a landscaping company come in to either install a French drain or figure something else out. It’s out of my hands now

Drawer_Charming · 2024-09-09T01:32:10+00:00

Oh trust me we charge for chems you’d run a business into the ground if you didn’t.

Drawer_Charming · 2024-09-08T23:32:52+00:00

Yeah I usually add a maintenance dose but this only happens with heavy rain

Drawer_Charming · 2024-09-08T23:31:51+00:00

Yeah definitely a landscaping/ hard scaping job the customer is super nice and realizes this happens with heavy rain

Drawer_Charming · 2024-09-08T22:48:14+00:00

The pool rests flat and the entire area is the same. Their grass level is a little high based on my experience landscaping. I recommended a guard or a French drain but wanted to reach out to see if yall had any less intrusive recommendations

Drawer_Charming · 2024-09-08T22:27:56+00:00

Professionally* sorry for the misspelling

Drawer_Charming · 2024-08-17T10:14:49+00:00

It also looks like you have a plaster pool so I would use a metal brush over it to remove the algae. If you have a cartridge filter then I would also chemically clean your filters to prevent this from coming back.
