I have a Pac Fab Triton TR40. I don’t know how old it is so I
thought I’d change the sand.

only filled to about 2 inches from the top. The pump wouldn’t power
the Creepy Krauly. I checked for air leaks but couldn’t find any.
Next I checked the impeller and […]

Hi again all. We had a pool built here in South Florida and are
learning the ropes. Establishing a “Pool Maintenance Routine” is job
one currently. So far so good except for the pool tiles. Anything in
particular recommended for weekly cleaning of the pool tiles? I
searched the archives and came up empty. I saw something online

I was wondering if there is some kind of special epoxy or plaster
that allows to repair cracks in concrete pools without draining all
the water. If such a thing exists, where can I buy it online?
