Pat. Yep, water behind the liner would be bad. I figured I'd keep it a few inches below the attachment point at a minimum. I think only once here in Austin area we got a rain that actually overflowed the pool. Jim. I've already added an additional Lexan plate to my existing face plate in the...

I like the way my pool looks after a hard rain that raises my water level above my current skimmer opening. I was thinking of modifying my Skimmer to allow the water to come up within a few inches of where my Vinyl Liner attaches. Are there any problems that may arise from this concept that I...

Thanks for your quick reply. I just edited the original post to say I believe they are Mexican Fan Palms. If they get that big the trunk size may damage the nearby concrete. (plasma cutters are a lot of fun) Thx.

We built this pool about three years ago and planted the two palm trees in the pics after it was completed. I'm wondering if they will cause a problem as they get bigger. I think they are Mexican Fan Palms. The two pics attached shows the edge of the trunk is about a foot away from the Flatwork...

This old thread just fixed my panel. Had the non working Menu button. Cleaned all the contacts on the board with an eraser and works great now! Thx

Plasma cutters are fun :) I'm hoping it will look like this when finished.

Not sure about the links... I'm not seeing them now but I kinda remember some of my words being highlighted when I created the post. I did copy most of this from a post I first created on diychatroom. Sorry for that, It was un-intentional.

]I will be installing the coping soon on my DIY pool. I will have a concrete deck butting up to 3.5 wide x 2.24 high x 9 inch long bull nose coping with an expansion joint in between. I'm in the process of pouring a concrete base about 12 inches wide x 6 inches deep reinforced with rebar that...

Help! I installed the steel wall panel with the light niche upside down so the light niche is too high. According to specs it needs to be 18 inches below the surface of the water. Seems impossible to fix at this point. Should I just put a cover on it and make it impossible to install a light...

Thanks for all your help. Pool looks inviting again. (Except for all the dirt on the outside:p)

I tried adding some DE to my filter. I may have over thought the process. I figured it would be a good idea to shut off the main drains so skimmer was sucking at maximum. Noted psi at about 12 and added DE as instructed until pressure went up by 1. Then I turned on the main drains and the...

Wow! Thanks for the quick response guys. I was just about to add the Alum. The shock Leslie's sold me was 2 packs of Chlor Bright Sanitizer shown below. I will try adding some DE to my filter as the link suggested and continue vacuuming and brushing. I have my SWG at 0 percent ATM since Leslie's...

Hi all. I am in the process of building a DYI vinyl liner pool. We just filled it up with city water from our house taps about 3 weeks ago. The water looked great until we had a hard rain about a week ago and now the water is quite cloudy. Attached are a few pics. I shocked the pool and ran the...
