Thanks! At least pH is fixable.

I have a Dolphin robot. I've wondered if it might be from the Dolphin since the lines are straight, but we don't see any holes or feel any kind of dents on the lines.

Hi all! We have an inground pool, the liner is 7 years old this year. We noticed some white criss-cross lines as well as some fading where the floor meets the wall. Overall, the liner seems to be in good shape. We don't see any wrinkles, nothing that we can see is pulling, above the water...

Thanks, chem geek and jagger. The smell is nearly gone. I am using 20 Mule Borax Laundry booster with sodium tetraborate (I don't see "decahydrate") and pure bleach from Aldi's. I use "pure" Baking soda from Arm and Hammer, it comes in a big 12 lb bag, bought it in the pool section at...

Thanks, Joyful! In the article, I see that Bromine has a different odor. It's odd though, this is our 2nd year with the pool, but this week was the 1st time it had this smell. I'm not sure what is causing the smell now. It might be in the post and I just missed it- chemistry isn't my strong...

Hi All, I found this excellent forum last year about three weeks after we put in a new liner, water (25,000 gallons) and filter (Star-rite System 3 cartridge, high efficiency, runs 24/7 mostly at low rate with two 2-hr high rate periods/day). I wish I'd found you just a few week's earlier...
