Pool of the Month

Proud of your above ground or in ground swimming pool? Had a recent pool party that rocked? Send us a photograph or two and a few words and you may win the Pool of the Month award (and a prize). Wouldn't hurt if Water Warehouse was your pool product of choice.

We just opened our 21 x 40 above ground oval pool. We had deer walk across our frozen pool this winter, therefore we had hols in our winter cover. The leaves sat on top and rotted leaking into our pool. When we took the cover off our pool was as brown as the rier after a rain. We have always used sofswim in the past but have switched to Splash. We use non chlorine products due to my sons allergies. We have filled the pool, vacumned and added chemicals. Lots of chemicals. So far I have added 6 gallons of Shock, 3 3/4 gallons of sanitizer, 4 32 oz containers of algeacide, and one container of metal remover. I just tested the pool and it looks like this. hardness 500 Bromine 0.5, Free Chlorine 0.5, Ph 8.4, Alkilinity 240
My pool is still very green. Should I add more shock?
HELP!!!!!

I would try to plug all the plumbing openings, lines, return fittings, skimmer and main drain at the pool side and see if it still drops. If the pool doesn’t drain after lines are plugged, then you would know it’s in the plumbing somewhere. If it’s in the wall, you would know it’s at the exact spot where it stops draining.

We have a really puzzling situation with our in-ground pool. Our pool contractor has been in business for over 30 years and he has never seen anything like it. We had it installed last spring and ever since installation we have lost about an inch of water per day. This is a lot of water because the pool is 50 x 40 x 20 "L". We have done pressure tests on all the plumbing and we did dye tests around the steps and drains and all the way around the pool with no evedence of a leak. We dug up the light fixture and plumbing and the ground is dry.
The really strange thing is that it gets to a certain level (three inches above the light fixture and six inches below the return inlets) and the water loss stops. We know it is not evaporation because it would continue to lose water instead of stopping. Any suggestions?? We welcome any theory because we are all stumped!! Thanks, Ricki
