It's probably the seal inside the valve. They're pretty easy to change.
You can vacuum a salt water pool the same way you would a non salt water pool. If you are vacuuming on the filter setting, your filter will help to clean the debris out of the pool. If you are dealing with a very dirty pool and use the waste setting, you will be wasting some of the water from the pool in the process. Depending on how much water you take out and need to refill, you will most likely need to add some salt back in to get your salt level back to normal operating levels.
If you're talking about your pool filter, it should be set to filter or run. Use the bypass or recirculate setting if you wish to circulate the water without having the water pass through the filter. Use the backwash setting to clean the filter.
The water will level itself so you can live with it if you would like. Otherwise, emptying the pool and setting it up again sounds like what you have to do.
not unless you have a natural spring bubbling up under it. This could be a blessing in disguise pump the exes water into water tanks and use it for toilets washing the garden etc.
The "Rinse" will also take water out, but you should really have a waste setting. Call a local pool company or the maker of your filter system.
Yes, using a bypass to pool setting can effectively vacuum your pool. This method allows the vacuum to draw water directly from the pool without going through the filter, ensuring that debris is efficiently removed. Make sure to adjust your pool's settings accordingly for optimal performance. Always consult your pool's manual for specific instructions.
The pool pump does suck the water from the pool. Then it goes thru the filter and (if you use have the following) thru the heater and chlorinator then back into the pool. So - nothing will keep it from sucking water from the pool - but that's a good thing. Now - if you set the valve to a different setting - then it might actually send the water to a waste line - maybe that's what you meant. If that's the case -then the pool pump will eventually drain your whole pool if you have it set to get the water from the bottom drain (another valve).
If used often, every day or every two days. If not used often, at least once every week. That's crazy, we leave our water in year round and do a start up every spring. The salt produces chlorine at a lower level that a conventional pool. If you are changing 5000-10,000 gallons of water every few days, no wonder there is a shortage of water. Find out how to operate your pool properly and save water. When the pool water reaches 800-1000ppm of calcium hardness or exceeds 100ppm of cyanuric acid it is time to change the water. It could take 1-8 years for this to happen.
It depends on your water chemistry, if you need to drain an in-ground pool every few years to recycle the water. If your cyanuric acid level is out of control you should. If you keep it balanced there should be no need to drain it and refill. Take your water to a pool professional to see where your chemistry is at.
Your lifetime if the pool is well maintained and refurbished about every 10 yrs. or so.
it takes a matter of time because it depends on if alot of people are in the pool or not
