I'm going to replace my liner in my above ground pool. Does it matter what kind I get? I want a J Hook liner but my present liner might be an overlap liner. Does it matter? Thanks Eddie

Last year I drained my pool below the skimmer before putting on the cover. Today I took off the cover and there's only about 8 inches of water in pool. I don't see a hole in the liner. I filled it to about 15 inches and there's no leak. What say you? Eddie 30 foot round pool. 4 feet deep...

This morning I tested my water. It was low on the chlorine level. I added enough, 90 oz, to get it to a 7. Today people were swimming in the pool. Hot and sunny day. I tested the water. It was 4.4. I just 114 oz. My CYA is 30. Why is my pool using so much bleach? Almost 2 jugs in one day. The...

I asked this last year and was surprised by the answers. How much chlorine do you add daily? I add almost 128oz of bleach a day. My pool gets about 8 hours of direct sun. I just did an overnite test. CC 1.0 FC .4 loss over night. CYA 40. Water is crystal clear. Eddie

Performed an overnight test. Last night FC was 17.5. This morning it's 19. Now I'm using an expired 0-871 agent and waiting on a newer bottle, but does this sound right. My CC is. 5. Eddie

My bottle of R-0871 has an expiration date of 11/17. Can I still use it? I've been slamming for 3 days and my pool is crystal clear. HOWEVER my FC is not staying above shock level. I just wonder if this titrating agent is bad.

I was in the pool yesterday with the wife and I told her the pool water has a little smell to it. I have a very sensitive nose. This morning I looked out to my pool and noticed a yellowish color on the bottom of a 1/4 edge of my pool. I don't know how I got this algae since I am OCD about my...

About 3 years ago I noticed water seeping on the outside of the pool where my pvc connection meets the return jet. I noticed the liner was wrinkled where the jet is and probably causing a leak due to a loose seal. Before I opened the pool this year I replaced the pieces and got new gaskets. I...

Last week I posted about me using a bottle of bleach a day for the last couple of years. You guys suggested that I slam my pool to kill anything that might be taking up my chlorine. So yesterday I slammed my pool. I checked it about 5 times throughout the day. When I checked it, it was always...

For the last 5 years I've gone to the TFP method for maintaining my pool. Every year I need to add a 121 oz. bottle of bleach a day to my pool. It's like this every year. My pool is in the sun most of the day. This year I screwed up a little and my CYA is around 80. There isn't a difference in...

Has anyone replaced the hose from the pump to the filter with PVC? I have my other pipes going from the pool to the filter and from the pool to the pump with PVC, but not the hose from the pump to the filter. The reason I am asking because my dumbass turned the pump on yesterday but left the...

I just realized during my week of slamming and daily maintenance, I've been filling the water to the wrong mark on the test tube. I've been using the 10ml mark when I should have used the 25 or 44 mark. Well I guess i slammed pretty good and I don't see any dead birds laying in the yard due to...

Last week I removed my pool cover from my 30 ft. round pool. The water was green. I shocked the pool with bleach. 2 days later the water was still green so I added more bleach and dichlor. The next morning, the green was gone. From my deck it looked like a perfect pool. When I walk on the deck...

I am going through 2 gallons of bleach a day in my 21200 gallon AG pool. I had a little algae a couple of weeks ago. I shocked the pool and now my pool is crystal clear. However everyday, my FC reading is around 2 and I bring it up to 7. All of my other readings are good, CYA is 40. Is this...

I need to add about 160 ounces of bleach to my pool every other day. Every other reading for my pool water is perfect. Is this normal or is there something else going on? My CYA is 45. Eddie

I just shocked my pool to a chlorine level to get rid of mustard algae. I used 7.25 bottles of bleach. My wife noticed on the bottles of bleach that it was a higher concentrate of bleach. Kind of like the new laundry detergents that use less detergent for same wash loads. Any I might have added...

After searching the internet and some posts on this site, I still need some help. Last year our above ground pool began getting dirty on the bottom. I vacuum the pool everyday, backwashed, and rinsed the filter then set the valve to filter. The next day the dirt was back. It seemed as i was...

I have an automatic Polaris pool vacuum. This thing will coil itself up withing 5 mins. I have the proper length hose and depth of hose. I have laid the hose on the deck in the sun and still nothing. Has anyone else had this problem? Eddie

Hey everybody, I am new to this forum and need some serious help. I was trying to use a new above ground pool vacuum and during the setup I noticed I don't have any suction through my skimmer. I just brought my filter and pump from the garage and installed it. I have PVC running from the skimmer...
