    Bottom Drain Issues

    I've posted a similar question, but this is specific to the bottom drain itself. I'm assuming there's a leak either in the drain gasket, screw holes or the PVC 1.5" line itself. I blew out the lines (first time on my own) with an air compressor running about 50PSI to my recollection and have...

    Leak level identified, can I run the pump with pool half full?

    Thanks guys - sorry for the confusion with "line" vs "Liner". I have some wrinkles in two corners, and I've been able to begin to work them back into the corner. Pretty sure I can get this done as the warm weather approaches.

    What happens to the line with low water levels? Will it just not stretch back into place?

    Leak level identified, can I run the pump with pool half full?

    It's 2" line in, 1.5" return out. I had my compressor in 50 PSI range. I know the pipes should handle that PSI. But... I blew the lines out late, in January before a cold snap. I did not cover the pool and over the next few days after I blew out the lines my wife said the water line is getting...

    Leak level identified, can I run the pump with pool half full?

    Hey everyone, Blowing out my lines last fall apparently caused a pipe joint running to my bottom drain to spring a small leak. The water level continued to go down until it stabilized months ago. I have a 37,000 Gal vinyl inground pool. The shallow end has about 3" of water in it and deep end...

    Refinish Cement Deck

    It does look good. I had a neighbor use it on his wood deck and he had issues with peeling. Have you had any peeling problems? I did like the texture for traction with water. - Thank you for your thoughts. I'll also see if I can find a resin based crack repair to. Was it a tube or something you...

    Refinish Cement Deck

    Looking for advice based on your own experience on whether to try some type of resurfacing (if so, what product?) or go with a pool paint (product preference?) to alter the appearance for the better and to keep "sand" from the cement getting into the pool after rains. This IG vinyl pool is about...
