We decided to let it deteriorate until the wall fails or liner develops a leak then we will fill it with dirt. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Black lines is where the cracks in the vermiculite / concrete floor are.. It goes from this corner in the deep end all the way to the shallow end to the jet. The steel wall is separating/buckling from the bottom, right where the pool floor starts. I can fit 2 fingers in it. Its like there is...

What do you mean bonded? I'm also not sure where my bond beam is. Are you guys talking about the where the concrete attaches to the coping.? I think I'll be replacing the coping all around depending on price. It will probably be something for interlocking stone. - - - Updated - - -...

I managed to get one corner out. I found concrete sonotubes that we're attached to the concrete deck. When I was smashing the concrete deck I saw the concrete pillar move up and down. The back fill is sand and not gravel. I have 1 piece of 1/4" rebar on the outer edge of the concrete. I still...

Hey, I'm about to under take a big pool reno. Just curious if there is anything to worry about when removing a concrete deck around an inground pool. Do i have to drain the pool to do this? Will the sides collapse? How long can i leave the pool without concrete around it?

Here's a pic of my pool and the neighbors. The tree is in the middle. I though the tree might be causing some issues, but i'm seeing some movement on the other corner of the pool. Funny that the neighbor's pool is doing exactly the same thing as mine.

See that's the funny thing, my neighbour has a pool with the same problem as mine on the corner that is beside my crappy corner. There is a tree (giant weed) between our 2 corners. So I wonder if that's adding to the problem/cause of the problem. Another thing to add, I think they...

Few years later and I haven't got off my butt to fix. Now I need to since the crack is moving along the bottom, at the stairs and by the fence and the steel wall piece appears to be sinking in the corner. I have requested a few quotes and they are in my opinion really high. I had one with...

I'm doing the oclt tonight.. I think I'm going to try and clean the sand filter once again this year. Tx

Yeah I know they won't cure all problems... But limit them.. Well I'm not 100 % sure I'm in an Alger bloom, I.ve never had FC =0 but 1 I put a whole bunch of soil around the pool and it has been blowing in for 4 weeks . When I backwash the sight glass is brown. The water has been blue but...

Hello all If you had a choice between the 2 which would you choose..? I currently have an Alger bloom, and my kreepy isn't doing a good job cleaning the whole pool, mind you it's probably 5 years old. Either buy a swg and possibly a new kreepy or only a robot under 1k? Keep in mind I'm...

Hello, I have a neighbor that has a algae infested pool, it's actually black. He's vacuuming up the water and pouring it on his grass, and some of the water is running onto my grass. Is there any harm to my grass? My grass is already %50 weeds, and I'm trying to plant new grass. There is a...

I found my lawn did not like the pool water at all. My lawn isn't in the best of shape though... It'll grow back

I order from this guy all the time Water and ice north America Cambridge ontario 1-888-822-5956 Nice guy to deal with and the prices are alright but not as good as the US

I find that I'm running my pump way less than my old single speed. I bought a dual speed 1 hp and I only use high speed when manually cleaning. I also bought a timer and I run low speed 10 hrs a day I have a 15k L pool No problems with Algee yet I do swim every day.

Did anybody actually do a controlled study on this forum? I would like to know if I should leave the cover on or off during the daytime when the pool is in full sun. All I know is that my pool is bloody cold all the time. I don't think it's ever been 80. I think a big part of the problem is...

I keep my cover on 24/7 except while swimming which maybe for 2 hrs max a day No problems with ccs yet I probably just jinxed myself

take a look at the photo album for a couple of extra pics https://picasaweb.google.com/1097804968 ... feat=email The flower bed was at a 45degree angle and i've put more soil there so it wasn't as steep

The side that is beside it on the slope ground is doing exactly the same thing but not as bad yet. I'm sure it's only a matter of time. Another issue is on the same side of the pic, the pool shell is coming up in the water. Again it was like that last year but I think it's a little worse now...

I got a quote 4600 for replacement of whole deck. My question is should I try to put paving/interlocking stone in place of the concrete? I could manage to do that was a DIY. I do have a couple of herniated discs in my back :cry: what would I do for the coping if I did interlocking stone...

I'm assuming I have to lower the water level first? Is it best to do this in the fall? I'm in canada. Pool guy, how much would this fix be? You can pm me of you don't mind Thanks!!!!!

Re: crack in concrete & trim Hello all, Well one year later and I still haven't fixed the gap. I'm not sure if I should try mud jacking or slab jacking. Is it possible for a diyer to fix the concrete? Should I chip up the whole section and lay more concrete down by hand? Has anybody else...

i have a very similar crack in the concrete as well. Please let me know what you did to repair it. thanks

Thanks Jason for your words of encouragement. The levels are back to a manageable level. Appreciate it. Now only if the weather would turn up the heat..

So i've been reading this site like crazy but i'm still unable to get my pool to stabilize chlorine usage.. Here are some readings. I started the shocking process on wednesday. It's been approx 28 c for weather. No rain for the whole week. Pool temp water has been 20-22 c Sunday 8am FC =...

This year use my brand new cover all week and I took it off on the weekend. I installed a new Hayward 1hp 2 speed pump so I'm not sure how the psi should be reading. On high its reading 17psi. I backwashed and it read 16psi water was quite white through the siht glass on the sand filter. But...

Opened pool 3 weeks levels were fine over night lost 1 fc a night.. I didn't run the pump 12hrs a day maybe 4 hrs. I know it was too low... Anyways this brings me to Wednesday. Took cover off cloudy deep end. Unable to see the drain. Tested water no fc. Weds night added 1 bottle clorox 6%...
