I recall seeing a thread about this last year I believe. I just wanted to add a warning. I had small rocks in two bags of diamond crystal splash ready pool salt that I bought at lowes. I have bought pool salt from them for years and I believe it has always been diamond crystal but I'm not...

What Texas splash said. Personally I would rather buy extra bleach than mess with CYA. Circulation issues and small depressed spots which catch sediment were why my residue was collecting in the same spots over and over. - - - Updated - - - Also, when you pull the ladder be sure and fill the...

Something dark tan (pollen or dust ) that for some reason my sand filter wouldn't pick up. It was just getting brushed around and resettling in the same areas. Little divots in the liner and seams. If your numbers and oclt are good and your water super clear I bet you are dealing with...

I have been in your boat and understand your frustration. I do not believe I had actual mustard algae after my go round. If I were doing it over again I would do the following since you did not lose any on the OCLT: 1. Pull everything you can out of the pool and look it over well. Ladder...

Have you done an overnight chlorine loss test? If not I would try that before I went into a SLAM.

No issues here and have used TFP since the first season 6 years ago. No fading or brittleness. And I had to do one MA shock as well.:D

You could put up caution tape around it.

What about polymer panels? Is that an option in your area?

Yes!!! You won't regret it.

Absolutely crappy for them to do that but I'm having a hard time seeing those two nicks being worth too much if any compensation. Might need to wait to see what the total damage is when the pallets are gone.

Who prepped the subgrade? That's who's job It is to make sure that soil conditions are suitable to pour on. If you go with A repour consider asking them to tool the joints into the concrete while they are finishing it rather than cutting joints later.

I can't tell you if it's right or not but mine have been that way since day 1 and are still 5 years later.

Any chance it's DE?

How does the liner look? Smooth with no wrinkles or dips or sways in the walls or floor? I'm guessing the pool is fine. Are you in Canton Texas? Does it have the shrink/swell expansive clay soil that Dallas does? It looks like new caulk hanging from the bottom of that coping trim. I'm guessing...

It almost looks like they screwed some of that synthetic wood product on top of the coping.

Yes you can wait to pour the deck. I ran mine all winter and poured in the spring.

Yes it is the concrete. Like using sandpaper on the finger tips pretty much.

I was just wondering about that as well. Is it the sand that says you don't have to use as much?

Circulation patterns can cause sediment to gather in the same spots. Bump it up to MA level if you met all 3 SLAM criteria. Be sure and maintain the MA level. What you have could just be a little bit of dead algae. My dead algae was a brown color. I had to put DE in my sand filter to catch...

That looks really sharp!

A pool is a hole in the ground you pour money into. I wish I had put in an above ground so that when my kids leave I could have it hauled off. A nice outdoor kitchen/fireplace/pergola would have been better for resale and relaxation at a fraction of the cost. Not to mention usable for more than...

Your deep end should be as clear as your shallow end. That is pretty cloudy.

I would be tempted to chip into a couple of areas to get a better idea of what you are dealing with.

Did you use a Realtor to purchase this home and if so was the a Property Disclosure?

It has never made sense to me that pool builders get paid prior to work being done. I have to wonder how that started. I am in new home construction and either the whole project is paid in full at the end (other than a nonrefundable deposit) or payments are made based upon completion of...

Whatever you or anyone else does DO NOT put any kind of sealant or putty in either end of the conduit. You will regret it when you need to pull that wire out. If you want it sealed you can buy a plug on amazon that's made for that purpose.

Just curious if this is evening out any?

Gracias senor. I've never used a skimmer sock so I may try it just for fun. Will post my results.

I have a Hayward sand filter, 5 years old, deep cleaned and new gasket and multiport at the beginning of this summer. I SLAMed the pool about a month ago and added some DE per pool school to polish the water off. Man did it look good. It only took a few hours and I backwashed the DE out. At that...

Fibermesh is garbage. A good rebar grid is the way to go. I'm surprised fibermesh is still used.
