We just had our liner replaced and have noticed that there are 4 spots where the liner is hanging a bit lower as seen in the following pic. From closer inspection, it looks like the middle track the liner is attached to has broken off the back of the coping which is leading to the issue...

I was planning on getting someone to do this as this is one of those DIY items I've not handled before and the family is pressing for time. If hydraulic cement is the way to go, is this a job best handled by a pool company or by a specific trade company?

I hope they used rebar, but I can't see any metal in the areas exposed by the cracks.

Hello, We need to replace our liner and before bringing someone in to do this work, we removed the old liner so we could see how the pool base looked and if any work needed to be done. We've noticed that there are a number of cracks in the concrete base as seen in the following short video...

I found some pictures I took from underneath the concrete pad back in 2016 and it looks like the walls are metal instead of concrete. Therefore, it looks like the pool was built with a concrete base and steel walls on top. Does this change anything if I plan to drain the pool, remove...

It's the rear of the pool as if the ground underneath it has dropped by a couple of inches. I can only tell as the water line at the deep end is a couple of inches higher than it is in the shallow end, which never used to the the case. I'm not sure if it's a concrete shell or...

With our pool season coming to a close soon, I've got a few issues that I need to address before opening next spring. There are the issues: Deep end of pool has sunk 2-3" over the past few years One section of our concrete pad has separated New liner is required What I'd like to do during...

Thanks Ahultin. My lines are 1.5", but based on the measurements you've shown me I suspect even those will be too wide once the 1.5 elbows are connected to the ports on the Jandy. While I could use the 45's, I'd prefer the lines to run straight down so it looks like I'm going to have to dig...

I'm replacing a bunch of plumbing at my pump area and I'd like to replace the main line coming out of the heater that gets split into two lines, one going to the Stairs (2 returns) and the other going to two other Returns in the pool. Here is what this area currently looks like... What I'd...

Thanks, Allen. This looks like it would be perfect for this job. I'm in Canada and I'm not seeing this product around here, but it looks like I can order it from Amazon.ca for import... https://www.amazon.ca/Plastics-0302-20-Internal-Extender-Fitting/dp/B00GM45DSM

I need to change some of my plumbing and there is one area that has 1 inch of exposed pipe that I need to attach a 90 degree elbow to. Is that 1 inch enough room at attach a regular PVC elbow adaptor?

Good news. I heard back from the pool company today and they've agreed to take care of the shipping. Once spring comes I'll clean it, wrap it in it's storage bag, and give it to them to ship back to GLI for repair. At the end of the day, they've handled this in an appropriate manner and...

Ok, I just received some information from the pool store where I bought the cover. They have offered the following options: 1) Free patch kit for me to fix the hole 2) Option to send the cover back to GLI for repair, but I have to pay $150 shipping To be honest, neither option seems fair at...

Re: New Safety Cover - samll rip Hi jbizzle, It's a mesh cover (99%) and not a solid cover so it's meant to let water through. I guess my concern is will a rip this small on a mesh cover be an issue in the future.

I recently received a new safety cover from GLI for our pool. A couple of days ago we installed the cover and while we were folding it out across the pool I noticed a small rip inside one of the 3x3 panels. After the install completed, I did a thorough check and it looks like that is the...

I'm replacing my old pool pump with a Pentair IntelliFlo VSF (11056). Given the way my pump was installed by the pool builder, I'm going to have to cut the plumbing to remove the old pump. Therefore, I'm looking for recommendations on the best way to install plumbing/connectors to and from the...

Thank you for the great info and detailed reply Jim. My pool system is pretty simple (pump, heater, and possibly an IC40), but it still sounds like the Intelliconnect (IC) would be lacking in my situation compared with EasyTouch (ET). Another concern I have is that the apps on both...

I've just ordered a Pentair IntelliFlo VSF pump (11056) to replace my failing single speed pump. At the same time, I've been considering switching over from Chlorine to a SWG like the Pentair IC40 and adding an automation option to control all this. For the automation options, I was quoted the...

Thanks everybody for the ideas. I'm going to look a bit more into mudjacking to see what this might cost versus a DIY approach. Hi BigEinAZ, I'm not sure what a gunite pool is, but we definitely have a liner over the underneath structure which I just assumed was concrete.

We have a 4 foot concrete border/deck that surrounds our pool which is then surrounded by our lawn. Late last year I saw both a racoon and a rabbit disappear into an opening where the lawn met the concrete border. At the time I thought they had dug out a bit of earth from under the concrete...

pooldv, so it sounds like you are ideally recommending the following: 1) a 3-way on the return side 2) a 3-way on the suction side that combines the skimmer/drain Besides being cheaper, what is the advantage to going with a 3-way in these two areas rather than separate 2-way valves. Isn't...

There is an air leak at the bottom of the elbow connection leading to the Drain valve. Every time I turn off the pump water leaks out of this connection and turning on this valve leads to lots of bubbles. There is a smaller air leak on the skimmer side that leads to minimal bubbles. I...

Any recommendations from those who have done this before?

I'm looking for a bit of guidance on the best approach to replacing my current valves with Jandy Neverlube valves. I currently have 4 valves at my equipment pad: 1) Skimmer shutoff valve (before pump) 2) Vacuum shutoff valve (before pump) 3) Drain shutoff valve (before pump) 4) Shallow/Deep...
