Thanks everyone...I guess we just need to do it to find out if it works...Just like Obamacare right? :P....haha hopefully not. we will see, I have a guy who all he does is patch and repair pools coming over tonight...I guess I'll have an update in a few days whether it worked or not.

Oh OF COURSE! We were honest! We would never never get out of something that was our fault by being dishonest! I lowered the water level to below the tear and we aready told out landlord that we would be willing to pay for the entire relining of the pool up front then work the rest out with her...

We want to keep a good relationship with our landlord and she is a great person, I just don't think she can process that since the liner is 22 years old that we wouldn't be completely responsible for a whole new liner. I really just need to know if this can be patched. I would even to be willing...

Our dog fell in our landlords pool today and she ripped the liner just above and below the water lvl.....mostly above the water the water lvl and it happened to be in the corner....this was a very old liner (1994) so i'm sure the age and dryness of the liner had a lot to do with the fact that it...

Thanks...i'll invest in one.

I did see those but i was wondering if there was one without a brush. - - - Updated - - - The brush just seems like it would disturb the dirt even more. - - - Updated - - - Guess I could make my own....

Do they make a pool vacuum attachment sorta like they do for regular vacuums that "sword" shaped and made for getting in couches and stuff....my pool has hard angles on it and I would love to have one sine my regular flat head brush attachment doesn't pick up the dirt, rather just disturbs it...

The man who helped me take the cover off this year used to be a "pool guy" full time, now he just does it on the side...When I was talking to him and taking all my readings he asked me how I knew so much after only taking responsibly of this pool for one summer. I told him about this site and he...

Hey guys! I just got a huge bonus today when I opened my pool! My landlord said it was the cleanest she's even seen it on opening....I can only say it's because I followed all the steps of the helpful people in this group last year and the Poolmath calculators. All that needs to be done is a...

Did you get the TF-100 test kit yet? There is absolutely NO WAY I could have done this without it or "pool math".

She still thinks the color is off...I'm trying to explain 15 year old liners aren't blue anymore.

annnnnd...done! Losing less than 1 PPM FC overnight, 0 CC, PH 7.6

Thank you both.

Quick question...do I need to retest my cya levels and readjust my FC shock levels accordingly during the slam process? Just thinking outloud that adding so much beach to begin with might have raised my CYA...or does CYA usually not accumulate that quickly?

Thanks to everyone so far! I made this poorly done animation of the steps so far...I'll keep adding to it and posting if you'd like.
