How does a hydrostatic valve work?
A Hydrostatic valve is basically a plug that stop water coming down out of the pool, but when the water pressure under the pool gets higher then the pressure in the pool it will let water into the pool from underneath in order to stop the pool from floating in ground water.
Why won't my pool water clear up.... We drained and refilled. I have used every chemical the pool store has told me to use. The water is almost a teal color. The sides are spotless HELP?
Have you tried a floculant. A floculant can be cast over the water and as it settles through the water it will take down with it materials that are suspended in the water.before adding it to the water turn of the pump and set it to waste,Leave the pool to settle for 2 days,Carefully vacuum the cloudy layer at the bottom of the pool to waste.You may have to repeat this procedure.Do not run the cloudy stuff on the bottom through the filterHummm, no one suggested running the filter 24/7. That may help. Sounds to me like a chemical problem. Pool water a teal color - sounds like a pH and/or an alkalinity problem. Have the water tested at the pool store. Didn't the pool store recommend running the filter longer???? hmmm. Do you have a sand filter or a D E filter. A sand filter will take longer to filter out the debris and algae than that of a D E filter.
How did sumerians get water?
it got its water from the "chain pump." the chain pump was a system that had two big wheels, one above another, and they were connected together by a chain. the chain has buckets on it, which dip into a small pool of water and go up the chain to a higher elevated pool. the buckets topple over into the elevated pool and dump the water into the pool, then the empty buckets go down the chain to be refilled. the plants are then watered by sections with the chain pump.
What causes streaky white bleach marks on a vinyl liner bottom and can they be removed?
Bleach marks are from chemicals comming into contact with the liner.. Never add dry chemicals to the pool, completely dissolve all chemicals in water before adding to pool... That information should have been given to you when the liner was installed..
What should you do after shocking your pool 3 times and it is still green and not holding chlorine?
Best thing to do is drain in, scrub it, and then refil. I have done the same and time-wise...its a waste. Not to mention all the $$$ in chemicals used. Its best to just pay the water bill. Dump in a 15 pound bucket of pool conditioner (I used EZ Clor) and your pool will stay clear and hardly need any chlorine for the entire season. We add stabilizer 2 times a season to help stop the chlorine from evaporating. That first answer was from someone who is clueless. First, check your alkalinity. If too low (80 or less) than any shock you put in the water will not work and your throwing your money away. Add baking soda (from Sam's $5.50 15 lb) accordingly and then shock it when level of alkalinity is reached. This is a tried and true lesson I learned and saves me a lot of money. If the water is real green to start, use Yellow Out and then follow the above instructions. Answ:: Water is a precious commodity - use it wisely ~ 25,000 to 40,000 gal. of water is a lot to waste. Besides, draining your pool in many cities could bring a huge fine. You have to be careful with what you add to your pool ~ you can not just indiscriminantly just "throw in" chemicals. There are formulas for just about everything that will go into your pool. You should follow then closely. (plaster pools)...... Firstly, if your filter is dirty, most of the chlorine you add to the pool will be used up in the dirty filter. Clean the filter first, adjust the pH, and in the case above you need to go to what is known as "break point chlorination" essentially a shock but more intensive. You need 10.0 ppm chlor. You have to overcome many things in the water to reach a point where you get a chlorine residual high enough to react to the contaminants. Run filter 24/7. At this point do not worry about your conditioner level until you have cleaned your pool and have backwashed the filter again and have really clear water. At that point return to normal cycle run time - see below. You do need to brush 2 to 4 times per day during the clean-up process to let the chlor react with the algae on the walls and floor. Concentrate on the worst green spots first. Formula for conditioner is 5# per 10K water. Goal: 50 to 80 ppm cond. Normal filtration times = 8 to 14 hrs per day. k
How often should an in ground pool be drained and given a chlorine bath?
I cant see why it should be drained and given a chlorine bath at all. If there is no problem with the water or the looks of the pool leave it alone.
When is a pool too dirty to clean with chemicals and must be drained?

Should your pool have been drained if your liner came loose at some spots around the top after flooding and the walls collapsed two or three days later when the pool was drained?
The pool probably should not have been drained until the ground had a chance to drain. The weight if the water in the pool helps to support the wall againt the groundwater pressure.

Can you use dish soap to clean a pool?
I wouldn't. If it was good to clean a pool with, it would be called "Dish and Pool Soap". Pools should be cleaned with materials specifically designed to clean pools - they have ingredients to keep algae and other organisms to a minimum, and they disinfect the water and such.
