So basically even if it did sit on the bottom and bleach an area out are we assuming that because it was a one-time and not long term issue that permanent damage is not completely likely? Honestly I wouldn't even worry so much about the liner cost but the $600 of water I need to get trucked in...

I did just broadcast over the pool, that is what the directions said. I only did 2 lbs in total and although I don't believe it sat in the bottom of the pool I can't guarantee there wasn't a clump or 2. I know for a fact that there was a bunch of baking soda that sat in the bottom, but there was...

They had me increase alkalinity and ph as well as using a metal sequestrant (hedp according to msds). That's what the computer told the teenager at the counter I needed so I used both. I already knew I could use Arm & Hammer baking soda for alkalinity, they sold me HTH ph up (which is just...

So prior to finding this site I was following advice from the pool store to balance the new trucked-in water on my first ever pool. I had absolutely no clue what I was doing as I never had owned any type of pool before I had this one given to me. Well long story short the people told me to buy...

I just bought a k-2006c from Amazon. When I opened it one of the vials of DPD powder had opened and exploded all over the inside. When I processed my replacement they told me it was back ordered for 8 weeks. I am willing to lose the cost of the powder, but is there any risk in cleaning off the...

I have read a LOT lately. One of the suggestions was to lower the ph and shock the pool which would take the iron out of the solution, make it solid and allow it to settle, then filter and vacuum. Which I would have no issue doing now as the pool is not open yet. The other suggestions were to...

Had my water tested at the pool store. They told me it had iron and I need to use a metal remover. They only do a basic yes or no test I didn't get a ppm count. I had the water trucked in so I assume there isn't all that much iron. I would rather remove it than continually have to add a...

I'm thinking that I wasn't truly round when I laid out the pavers and the wall made it round. I did not stake in the track. It is about 4 uprights 2 of which are right on the edge of the paver and the others are not more than an inch over it. The part with the track is on the paver it is...

I just got done installing my 24' pool. It was used, but I got it free so I'm happy. Install went well I did it with a friend. It looks great, it is perfectly level, and I was pretty proud of it until I noticed an issue. Apparently when we were kicking out the liner I kicked a few of the...

Thanks for the reply. I could only reach about halfway down the wall. I was going to get in there in the morning and see how it is sitting in the bottom. Are you basically saying as long as I can push it by hand against the wall I should be OK?

Just got done installing a used 24' round pool. Everything went pretty well. I have one issue with the liner that I need to know whether its normal. I used the Shop-Vac method and the liner sucked to the wall nicely. I have 4 inches of water in there and am awaiting the water truck tomorrow. In...
