Pool Safety is ALWAYS important. At Kidtastics, we try to make sure our swim kids know all their pool rules. Rules very from home to home, due to ...

Alright here is the situation,

I know nothing about pools, nor do my parents heh. My parents just moved into this house, so we havent had no dealings with pools really. Anyhow this past weekend I went to their house to "hopefully" get their pool ready for summer (they older folks). We are running into a couple of problems however. We put the chemicals in, the shock treatment, and started the filtering cycle. Pool looked good, and everything seemed to be fine.

My brother however, said he went out did a "backwash" to the pool which of course you need to do, then set it back on filter. We went to church, When we returned (4 hours later) the pool had dropped a good 2 inches, and the level was so low the filter was no longer even sucking water into it.

Was curious if anyone had any ideas what the problem could be? Quite frankly before my brother messed with it, it didnt seem to be having any problems, and he isnt coming clean if he did anything lol. He said he went from "filter" To "Backwash" back to filter. As far as cracks in the pool itself, it held water all winter and the water level was fine so im ruling that out. The filters seem to still be pulling water in, somewhere along the lines the water must be going somewhere. Backflushing it doesnt seem to be using up "that" much water, could it be possible that it is? Any ideas or tips on where to start with the troubleshooting with this pool?

Also their is an option called "Recirculate" what exactly is that?

The most likely problem (from the circumstances you're describing) is its losing water through the multiport valve. The valve with the "filter", "backwash" reciriculate" positions, etc.)
Fill the pool back up to its normal postion, turn the pump back on, and see if any water is coming out of the discharge port (it should have a small glass jar on it.) This may be hard to see if there is a hose or pipe attached to it. You will have to see if there's water going through the sight glass.

It may not have been anything your brother did (although he could have, if he didn't turn the pump off before he changed the position of the handle on the valve.) There is a five (or sometimes six) spoke gasket under the cover of the valve. Chances are it is damaged. You would need to take the six screws out of the top of the valve, take the top off, and look down into the body of the valve. You should see the gasket and be able to tell if it is damaged. If so, replace it. (Just note the way the cover is facing when you take it off: it must go back on the same way...) Also, check that the handle is sitting correctly in each position: Just make sure the pump is off before changing the position of the handle.

Oh.. and "recirculate" allows the water to go through the pump, bypass the filter, and go directly back into the pool. There are occasionally times you'd use this... Such as filter damage, etc.

If this isn't it, check to see if the water is lowering only when the pump is running: (for example, overnight if you run the pump during the day.) This should be able to tell you if it's and equipment problem.

Also check directly around the pump itself to see if there is any water there. If the pump ran dry for even a few minutes, it may have destroyed the pump seal (which is water-cooled). If so, it may need to be replaced as well...

and if so, so someone "dumb" down the rules so that I may explain them to my younger brother?

Water polo is played in deep water - a minimum of 1.8 metres (just a little under 6 feet).

The game involves teams of seven players, with a ball similar in size to a soccer ball but constructed out of waterproof nylon. The goal of the game is to throw the ball into the team's goal net at the end of the pool, and prevent the opposition from doing so at the other end of the pool.

The game is divided into four quarters, each of seven minutes. The clock is not stopped within a quarter. A team may not have possession of the ball for longer than 35 seconds without shooting for the goal - after this time, possession passes to the other team.

Dimensions of the water polo pool can vary between 20 x 10 and 30 x 20 metres. The goals are 3 metres wide. One player on each team is designated the goalkeeper, and their primary job is to guard the goals, deflecting or catching any shots at goal. The goalkeeper is the only player who can touch the ball with both hands at any time.

Players can move the ball by throwing it to a teammate or swimming whilst pushing the ball in front of them. Players are not permitted to push the ball underwater when being tackled, or push or hold the opposition unless they are holding the ball. Water polo players tend to need remarkable stamina due to the considerable amount of holding and pushing that occurs during the game, both that which is unseen/ignored by the referees and that which is disallowed.

If a player is caught committing a sufficiently bad foul, typically an act of brutality, he or she is sent out for 20 seconds or until the next goal, whichever comes first. This creates a 'man-up' situation in which the attacking team can reasonably expect to score, typically by adopting a 4-2 formation, and moving the goalkeeper out of position. If a player is sent out three times, he or she must sit out the whole match.

i live in an apartment and i have the pool out on my very large deck.. i have read the lease and the is no rule against it and my landlord is pretty cool about stuff..... i am not going to fill it all the way up.. i just want enough water where my 8 month old daughter ( with my supervision) can splash around. maybe about 6 inches deep of water..... i will not leave her unattended. but want something she can play in because she loves the water.. my question is how do i keep the water fresh other then covering it to keep bugs out and the water warm..... i dont want the water to get slimey where i have to keep filling it and wiping it down... is there a small amount of chlorine or some thing i can put it in?? and not to have mosquitoes breed in it?
chlorine bleach wont hurt my baby??? i know to use test strips.... thanx!

You can use chlorine bleach as an inexpensive way to keep slime down. Just use a capful for every two gallons of water. This will also keep the mosquito population out.
