Pool troubles

[DrJohnZoidberg]

Rather go to a public pool unless you are a swim fanatic. A pool can be mentally straining to own if you aren't inclined for DIY work. Far too many people own pools and use it less than 10 times a year if even that.

It really depends what kind of pool you have. It's really not that hard to keep a fiberglass pool maintained, it does however have a cost to keep it going so that's definitely more of a consideration imo.

If you go off peak times, I doubt there are 100 people.

But there's more than 100 pees.

It may be worth it to replace that entire valve assembly with the leaky pipes, it looks a little worn. That's a pretty quick job for a pool guy and shouldn't be that expensive.

This.

Thank you
Previous owner obviously did a McGuyver there that's not holding.

This is not hard to repair, pvc weld and straight cuts of the pipe. Pipe can be bought full length or in metre.

Pretty sure that someone will do that in your home pool as well if you have a few mates over and invite them to swim.

To replace the sand, I just use my cheap conti wet/dry vacuum, it worked quite well.

A pool is a very costly and time consuming thing to own.

What size pool do you have?

Off peak times for a public pool is...............Winter.

Does the pool have a salt chlorinator attached. If so then that is at least one cause of the bubbles. The salt cell created chlorine gas.

Nope

Got to love MyBB.

OP: “Help I have bubbles in my pool”

MyBB - descends into debates about closing the pool vs ownership

Some good advice though.

What if your neighbour spies on your wife with binoculars while she's in the pool ?

Free only fans for the neighbours then.

So I replaced the cracked vacuum lid.
There's still bubbles but the suction is much better, Kreepy climbing walls which it never did before.

also backwash and rinse so kreepy goes better

but yeah also check the o ring and ensure the pump is closed tight
