I totally would dig down to fresh undisturbed solid ground. I know it’s extra work but you want this pool up and stable for YEARS to come, so don’t take short cuts. My story is pretty similar - we installed partly over a former pool’s site, so it was partly compacted, but we had our installer...

Ignore them. Buy the largest SCWG you can afford and don’t look back!

You can purchase a new liner online -pool warehouse, pool factory, etc. I would call around for install.

Just dumped a plethora of bugs out of the Betta - ugh!

This is my story! I’ve been gradually adding CYA so I don’t overshoot, and neglected to dial the SWG down. Today am at CYA 60 and 13.5 FC. I’m going to hold here with CYA for a couple of days and test again before I add any more.

You don’t have to go for a combo, but the one you describe should be fine. I used a 19” .5 hp on my 15’ by 48” and it worked for years.

I bought a Betta robot skimmer this season. I keep it in the pool all the time so my skimmer basket doesn’t get overwhelmed.

Well, I guess the bag of CYA granules I thought I had disappeared into the night. Hooray for Amazon same day delivery.

I got curious, so checked just now. 86! Looks like I’ll be taking my first dip tomorrow!

When you say salvage, do you mean try to make it work without taking the liner out and re-leveling track, wall and supports? I sure wouldn’t do that. It appears in the photos that nothing is actually damaged, though, so if that is the case I’d remove liner, re-do everything, and get a new...

Adding water as we speak. We’re in our dry season right now, so evaporation is king.

That looks fantastic!

Also, double patch it. Apply one patch, then a slightly larger patch on top.

I don’t have any suggestions to offer, but bumping your thread up for attention.

What a great idea!
