    installing liner lock

    Thanks Duraleigh for the reply. The track doesn't look bad but I figure before I install a little cleaning won't hurt. I just don't to mess up and waste my liner lock.

    installing liner lock

    Hi! It seems every spring a small section of my liner pops out on each side of the steps past the corners in the shallow end, so this year I bought a 120 ft. roll of liner lock. There's no instructions with it so it must be pretty straight forward to use, right? Thanks to Waste, I've got...

    Blisters on interior shell

    Hello. My Caldera hot tub is just over a year old and has developed two small blisters on the interior shell surface. It was installed correctly and the water chemistry has been maintained with Caldera's chemicals. I've looked online and found where someone said it's a company defect where...

    Using Heat Lamp to Prevent Freezing Pipes & Filter

    My Hayward Super Pump went out yesterday and the weather forecast predicts 33 degrees tonight and 27 degrees for tomorrow night then back to 33 degrees. I got the motor taken to an electrical motor service but I have a question in case I don't get it back and installed today. If I use a 125...

    Hey Waste, so good to hear from you! :wave: Hope all is well with you and yours! My winter went well. How was yours? What do you do when the pool season ends? You are right about me loathing to have the PB back out here so after talking with others in my area I chose not to close the pool...

    Is there a way to keep a liner from floating?

    Jason, thanks for the reply! I'll go turn on the hose right now. According to the weather forecasts starting tomorrow we should get dryer weather for the next week. How do I keep wrinkles from forming? Just keep brushing it and try to keep it smoothed out while the ground drys up?

    Is there a way to keep a liner from floating?

    I noticed my liner at my steps is suddenly loose at the wall near the pool bottom. I tried brushing it down but it poofs back up. The ground is overly saturated from all the rain we're getting and I'm thinking the liner might be trying to float. Is there anything I can do to prevent this from...

    pool store recommendations and high CYA??

    I've been reading through alot of the posts about CYA and it seems that the pool stores are recommending shocking and using their chlorine pucks and in the long run all it does is raise the CYA resulting in a harder time maintaining chlorine levels. I just restarted my pool and following PB...

    Can overflow really handle the rain?

    I am very grateful for the rain -- I got to wash a load of clothes! :-D Last time we had rain it came down so fast the ground was too dry and hard to absorb it. It flooded the yard and came over the concrete near the pool's edge and the overflow couldn't handle it. I was just glad it was...

    Can overflow really handle the rain?

    Thanks for the quick reply! I've emptied an inch at least each hour and was worried what might happen during the night. Our ground is so dry it's hard for the rain to soak in and it turns to run off which has a great chance of going into the pool.

    Can overflow really handle the rain?

    Hey, we're finally getting rain down south here where we need it but I need to know what to do tonight. I've already gone out twice and backwashed/rinsed a few inches of water out but am wondering what to do tonight. I'm afraid the overflow can't handle it (it couldn't the only other time we...

    How to handle a Pool Builder bully?

    Quick question and hopefully a quick reply: We are finally getting the desperately needed rain and I'm wondering can the overflow really handle all the rain we are suppose to get until 10:00 AM tomorrow? One other time we had rain (since I got the pool) and the level rose so high so quick the...

    How to handle a Pool Builder bully?

    A dramatic twist, just when we all thought everything was going my way . . Two pB (pool Bullies) showed up late this afternoon and wanted to come in to look at the pool. I let them in and then was asked if I had put in the chems. I said "no, I'm still getting the yucky stuff out and want to...
