    Water stuck behind liner

    In NJ we have had substantial rain every week. Most recently 4 heavy straight days. I lowered the water level just a few inches before the most recent storm but still kept it just within the skimmer opening. I now have about 4 spots where the liner clearly has water behind it. (3 spots are...

    Water level at pool closing…

    I have an inground pool with an extreme mesh safety cover. For years, when closing the pool I would lower the water level to just below the skimmer before blowing everything out and placing a gizmo in the skimmer. Just recently got a replacement extreme mesh cover and the installer insisted on...

    Water keeps getting behind 2 year old liner…

    Our original pool liner was replaced 2 years ago. We had it for 14 years with no real issues. The only thing was that we could feel subtle bumps behind it which was apparently from surface rust on the galvanized walls that developed over time. We decided to have our concrete removed and...

    Help with repairing white aluminum coping

    My inground 18x36 kidney vinyl liner pool is turning 13 years old. I just put a deposit down on a new liner to be installed for April of next year. My issue is that my white aluminum coping has a multitude of small holes in it aside from needing a fresh coat of paint. The pool company said...

    Rust stains on liner from bobby pins...

    I have 4 rust stains on my vinyl liner that I cannot get off. Apparently a girl lost 4 bobby pins while swimming in my pool. I eventually found them and removed them, but it was too late. My salt pool rusted the bobby pins and the rest is history. How can I fix this?

    Switching from Hayward Colorlogic to Pentair Intellibrite 5G

    My 8 year old Hayward Colorlogic led light has died. After reading so many bad reviews about the Hayward light, it seems amazing that it even lasted that long. Everything else I have read has led me to purchase the Pentair Intellibrite 5G. I was told it was much higher quality for about the same...

    Pool water looks perfect, no chlorine level, 30ppm nitrates, do I drain?

    I have an 18'x36' inground kidney shaped pool (22,500 gallons). Towards the end of last summer the water looked good but I had no chlorine reading. I assumed my 7 year old swg system met the end of its life. I now just opened the pool and fully replaced the swg system. The water looks perfect...
