I got a new liner about 3-4 yrs ago. Basically, it seems like there are little rocks(pebbles) under the liner that are creating little holes in the liner and I'm losing water. I had a leak detection company come out patch 14 holes. He told me there are more and it's going to happen again...

I took the cover off my in ground pool and discovered half the water drained out. I just got the liner replaced 2 yrs ago. Where are the places the leak could be and how do I look for it?

I can't get my pool ladder out from the holes. I You Tubed how to get it out, but have not had any luck. Does anyone have any ideas? I tried to knock the wedge down to loosen it up but now it seems I can't screw the old bolts back in. Definitely need some help.

I have cracks in a couple of my pool slide steps. Slide is fiber glass, how can I go about fixing them?

I'm starting to see places running out of either pool chlorine (WALMART/LOWES) or bleach (limits on how much you can buy). Where is everyone getting their bleach/pool chlorine from? I have to SLAM my pool and worried I'm going to run out.

When testing CYA I usually go outside and put my back to the sun to test. Does the dot need to be completely gone to see what my CYA is? I get to around 40 and I can still faintly see it. Any thoughts?

How long do I need to wait to test my CYA after I put stabalizer in?

I am in the process of getting a new pool liner. What is the process of getting my chemistry correct in my pool?

I tested my ph this morning and it was around 7.0. I was surprised because it’s usually right around 7.4. So I rinsed out then tube and tested it again, just to make sure I didn’t do anything wrong. When I tested again it came out to around 7.8. Why would I be getting 2 different readings?

I am in the Philly area. I bought my 8.25% bleach from Wal Mart last season. This year I do not they are not selling 8.25% only 6%. Anyone know where they are selling 8.25% in the area? Also, I saw germicidal bleach from Home Depot. Can I use that?

Opened pool and looked pretty good. I brushed, vacuumed, and ran filter. I tested my water and got these results: FC-0 CC-0 PH->7.0 TA-60 CYA>30 (I can only test to 30 and I could still see the dot at the 30 line) I put bleach in to get up FC-6. I also put some stabilizer in and I will...

I just finished SLAMMING my pool. Now my chemicals r out of whack. FC-5 CC- .5 ph-6.8 TA- 200 CYA- 30 What order should I go in to get these back to normal? Or does it not matter?

I am in the final stage of a SLAM. Water is clear, no change in chlorine over night, but CC is 1. I was hoping to be done because I am having a party today. I know my ph is low but can't test becuase of SLAM. Do I just keep doing what I'm doing and let people swim, or do I let chlorine come...

I did a SLAM last summer and everything went well. I had to do another one when I opened the pool. This one has me a little puzzled. I have an ammonia smell coming from the water and am performing a SLAM. Water is clear, CC is .5 and only lost .5 FC overnight. So I thought I was thru, but I...

I tested my CYA and it's pretty clear up to the 30 line when I test. How can I get an exact reading when it only goes to 30? Do I assume it's at 0 if it was pretty clear at 30?

I'm going away for 4 days. I having been using the tfp method for about a month with great results. I was going to get my pool up to shock level and have my parents run the filter every day. I don't have an automatic timer. I do have a pool frogged chlorinator but haven't used it since going...

I'm a newer member of this site so I have a few questions. I am having people over tomorrow for a party. My Cya is around a 45 so I have been keeping my chlorine at about a 6. Should I bump up my chlorine up before the party? Also, I used to shock the pool after having a lot of people in...

I am seeing rust spots on my vinyl liner. I read the article on treating stains. Where is the best place to buy the vitamin c tabs and do I just apply them right to the stain.

I am new to the site and I am finishing up my first "successful" pool Slam, hopefully this is the last day. The next series of questions I have are: 1. What is my next step after I am done Slam? 2. I have a pool frogger chlorinator, should I even use that ever again? 3. What chemicals...

I bought my house 4 yrs. ago that has an inground pool. I am a novice pool owner and did not have any problems the first two years. Last yr when i opened it, it did not hold chlorine when I first opened it. I had to triple shock it twice and everything was fine. I had the same problem this...
