    have a leak :(

    I have a above ground pool, that is partially in ground... It is a Doughboy 32x16x48". I put a new liner in it 2 years ago. We had a few bad storms which blew some stuff in the pool over the winter. I've patched 3 different holes, none of which seem to be still leaking. I got in the pool...

    Help!! Sinking frame!!

    I know you probably won't like my suggestion, but it may be your best bet. Drain the pool completely. Move it. Go to Walmart and buy about 20 bags of paver sand. Fill in that area with the paver sand, and pack it down good. Tarp it. Move the pool on top of the tarp/paver sand.

    ok, I'm sure this is a stupid question...but I'm gonna ask it anyway. This is an ABG pool with a new liner...the bleach won't 'bleach' the color away, will it. :| Also, do I need to do all of this before adding salt? Or is it ok to go ahead and add it?
