    Installing replacement liner inside of Intex 18' metal frame

    I have less than a one inch tear but it’s just under the seam at the bottom of the pool. Just covered it on the outside and inside with flex seal tape. The pool had been drained while we re leveled and had about 2 inches of water in it when I noticed the leak. Let’s hope this holds, year 4 with...

    What the HECK!! Cant bring water back to CLEAR

    For now use powder to bring it up to 30 and SLAM using liquid chlorine. Once your pool is back to clear bump your CYA up to 60 or 70 and let the SWG get going again. For now I'd leave the SWG off until you clear up the pool.
