    Sump pump for closed pool

    I am going to use a sump pump to mix chemicals this winter as needed. What I was wondering what do people use on this forum that use a sump pump for that purpose use to protect the vinyl liner when the pump is in the pool. My pump is all metal on the bottom so I am concerned about damage to the...

    What caused my wrinkle?

    Ok the pool guy I called is backed up installing liners since May was so cold to install any. So he hasn't got here yet. I have been using pool and adding chorine using the TFP method. All the wrinkles are gone now as they came and left several times. I was wanting to try and get the water from...

    What caused my wrinkle?

    Well here is what I know now. It is not the cover causing the problem or the heater. I had the wrinkle come back as I increased the chlorine dose to 9. Thinking liner has a problem or has been damaged by chemicals. Really don't know what caused it but dosing FC to 6 all is well. Don't know what...

    How long can SLAMs run?

    My slam this spring lasted almost a month. I had to get rid of ammonia first and then slammed until the could pass the OCLT. Keep testing and slamming and you will get there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What caused my wrinkle?

    So far doing well. Grandson was over last night swimming so I didn't close the cover until 11 PM. I added Chlorine yesterday morning and ran pump on slow speed.

    What caused my wrinkle?

    My PH and TA were both high when I opened the pool. Will try your suggestions. Even the wrinkles around the light are going away now. The month of April I was slamming the pool without any problems. I didn't start getting any problems this year until I started the heat pump and closing the cover...

    What caused my wrinkle?

    I only had my VS pump for a couple of weeks. When I was adding chlorine I was running it on high for 30 minutes. Should that time be longer? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What caused my wrinkle?

    I added chlorine yesterday when it was looking better. Added to FC 7 and within three hours I was having problems again. I havent added since then and it looks good. If it is not the chlorine I have no idea what it could be. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What caused my wrinkle?

    Yesterday I found it in several places in the pool. It started below the simmer of that was the only one I noticed at that time. The wrinkles were like pluckering with no water behind them. To it is getting better but I have not added Chlorine in 24 hours.

    What caused my wrinkle?

    No auto fill . Yesterday I could put my hand on liner in place by simmer and move it easily. To day it is solid with no wrinkle. Yesterday I seen wrinkles forming around the light. Today they are going away. I looks like a chemical issue now but I don't understand why it is. Thinking of raising...
