Best Answer

You cannot caulk a swimming pool filter of either stainless steel, fiberglass or plastic. Does this filter have a crack in the main body? Is this filter leaking at the flange or where the two main components come together? How old is the unit? It may be covered under warranty.

How do you fix a pool if the slab of cement around the pool is sinking?

I have a sinking problem with my pool too. The technician says the way to fix it is to drill deep holes around the sinking side and put cement in to support the pool. It is a big job. Takes a couple days. Pool sinking? Is the pool sinking The wall of the pool and coping are one unit, the concrete deck is also a unit, they move independent of each other, with a caulk joint between each. That joint must be maintained. Your pool pro has the right stuff. You wont find home caulk at the DEPOT.

What does sand in the bottom of a pool mean in swimming?

One reason that causes sand to accumulate at the bottom of your pool is a sand filter with a broken lateral or laterals. Notice where the sand is accumulating? Is their return outlets from the filter directly above the small piles of sand in your pool? That is a broken lateral. You can fix this problem by scooping out the sand in the filter and replacing the laterals at the bottom of the tank. I have been cleaning and repairing pools for a long time and it is my suggestion that you hire a professional for this job.
