What's weird is my invoice from the place that did the work says "Aqua-Rite Salt System 925 expert line" but it's a blue works....wt.... I can't remember which exact model of the blue works it is. I question the work this pool company did though. I paid them to resurface the whole bottom of my...

These are the test results I have on my pool. Cya 30 or less. Calc hardness 170 Total alk - 170 pH test - 7.6 Free chlorine - 2 Combined chlorine - .5 The cya test chemicals are a year out of date so I don't know how much that's affecting my reading but I filled it to the top and could see...

Just got our generator installed this summer. I've had it on 100% output at 2600ppm all summer. I keep periodically having to shock my pool or it goes green on me. Especially when the lawn gets mowed and grass gets in the pool. Is this normal? I figured if I had a SWG, I wouldn't really ever...

Just got done talking to the previous home owner again (spoke to his wife last time, and him this time). He was saying there is a spring right beside the slope of the pool and as soon as it rains it activates that spring. He said they put some kind of pipe with holes in it under the deep end of...

Thanks so much guys. I managed to track down the contact info for the previous home owner, and he actually did what you did duanebe (but not as nice) and we have a large pipe just like yours going to the deep end of our pool (we've been wondering for 2 years what that was there for), but he...

Guess I'm talking to myself at this point. Wish someone would join in. After more work (finally got the liner out of the coping) I noticed water is pouring back into the deep end through the cracks. I'm just going to hire a company to come in and redo this bottom for $1,000-$2,000. Sigh. In...

Here is what the bottom looks like. Looks like I'll need to patch a bunch of holes. What are you guys thoughts on this? https://imgur.com/gallery/P6Xy8

Well not looking good so far. Drained all the water out into the sewage area behind all our homes, and noticed water was coming up beneath the liner floating it up. Removed the liner and the water fills the deep end to about an inch into the shallow end. Leaving the pump on hoping it will...

Are there any good threads with pictures/video on how to remove the pool liner from the coping/track?

Starting the process.....you should see the amount of pennies I have removed from this bead....

Ok so got the new liner in, but not installed. I hooked that T fitting back up to the PVC piping by the pump for that odd piece that sucks on my liner. Any advice on doing this first liner? I've also bought a liner lock as well. From what I can tell in the documentation the previous owner foamed...

We also have one of those auto Polaris robots that we used around once a week.

It only has the skimmer if that's what you mean? It doesn't have that bottom of the pool suction/cleaner.

It just looks like the vinyl wall with this screwed on top of it: https://www.poolpartsonline.com/p-10223-87200400-american-uf-face-plate.aspx The pipe leads back to the pump where it's T'd into the pump. I actually had to redo the piping and I didn't reconnect that section of the pipe. I can't...

I've found paperwork where he supposedly put down a foam barrier in the bottom of the pool but under that I think it's all concrete from these records. One thing that confuses me is he has this one pipe in the pool covered by the liner and when looking at it all, it looks like it's some form of...
