All, I've filled my pool a couple of times in the last couple of days and today noticed that the liner appears to be very loose throughout the pool. It's night time, so it's tough to identify any leaks, but it seems like the liner is pulling away from the wall all over the place. I can't find...

Woo Hoo! I'm getting it. I hit it this morning already (before the sun came up) when I was doing the morning maintenance (usually I add only at night).

Please, please, please consider not using the pucks. The liquid chlorine is not much more difficult and I can promise you. If your CYA gets really high and the pool gets even a little bit away from you, you are on a bad cycle that will take you a week or two at the minimum to clear up. You...

Yeah, we are in the middle of a tree shedding, so I had finished skimming five minutes before. We are having my son's 7th birthday party today, so I will be skimming again in an hour or two.

Pictures as promised. That is the drain 10 feet down: SaveSave

You're the best.

Dent, I thought I had a filter issue as well. It probably isn't that. If we assume your pool store nailed the CYA test (not a sure thing by any stretch), you would need to be maintaining FC levels at 16 to SLAM your pool. Get your test kit, trust me it was the best money I ever spent, start...

I had this problem as well. Did you pull your ladder and give it a good scrub down? I used a power washer on mine, especially underneath. You might try pulling the ladder and seeing how your chlorine does overnight without. I've heard that if that doesn't work, sometimes something gets in...

I'll have my wife get you some. Probably around the same time I talk to her about what level of supporter we will become. I'll try to check around now and again for a question or two I can answer. I will have to learn how to link to the thread with all the pictures showing the day to day...

I realized that I haven't been around to give you guys an update. In short, following my SLAM, pool maintenance has been an unmitigated success. Today's test was as follows: FC: 6 CC: 0 TA: 140 CH: 225 CYA: 50 Last year it was Di-Chlor, Cal-Hypo, Liquid Chlorine, PH Up, PH Down...

Heading out on vacation for 4 nights. Should I float a couple of pucks (my CYA is already around 50), or should I just get the pool up near mustard level and let it float down until my return? Since my slam my water has looked amazing and I don't want to let it get away from me now.

Well then let's do this up right! Here's the worst and today together :)
