Good to know. Thank you.

I've posted a similar question, but this is specific to the bottom drain itself. I'm assuming there's a leak either in the drain gasket, screw holes or the PVC 1.5" line itself. I blew out the lines (first time on my own) with an air compressor running about 50PSI to my recollection and have...

Thanks guys - sorry for the confusion with "line" vs "Liner". I have some wrinkles in two corners, and I've been able to begin to work them back into the corner. Pretty sure I can get this done as the warm weather approaches.

What happens to the line with low water levels? Will it just not stretch back into place?

It's 2" line in, 1.5" return out. I had my compressor in 50 PSI range. I know the pipes should handle that PSI. But... I blew the lines out late, in January before a cold snap. I did not cover the pool and over the next few days after I blew out the lines my wife said the water line is getting...

Hey everyone, Blowing out my lines last fall apparently caused a pipe joint running to my bottom drain to spring a small leak. The water level continued to go down until it stabilized months ago. I have a 37,000 Gal vinyl inground pool. The shallow end has about 3" of water in it and deep end...

I do like that a lot as well. The before after pics tell the story. I will definitely consider that option strongly! Thank you!

It does look good. I had a neighbor use it on his wood deck and he had issues with peeling. Have you had any peeling problems? I did like the texture for traction with water. - Thank you for your thoughts. I'll also see if I can find a resin based crack repair to. Was it a tube or something you...

Looking for advice based on your own experience on whether to try some type of resurfacing (if so, what product?) or go with a pool paint (product preference?) to alter the appearance for the better and to keep "sand" from the cement getting into the pool after rains. This IG vinyl pool is about...

You could build your own depending upon needs and budget. https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/countyline-stainless-steel-transfer-utility-pump-1-hp?cm_vc=-10005 I’m a commercial winemaker and I use this pump to clean wine tanks when my pumps are in use or I just don’t want to add hours to...

Consistency is the take away I get from you all. Thanks! And yes I keep an eye on CYA. I’m new to a pool and TFP. TFP has been a savior - no more of those dastardly pucks and their insidious CYA additions.

I tried to find a post on this. Sorry if it is a repeat (seems like it would be) I’m manually adding liquid chlorine and testing. I am finding a reliable pattern emerging which is nice. I’m adding in the morning before work with the pump running. Does it matter what time of day you add liquid...

Same here. I'll keep that in mind. Thank you

Guess I've got lots baking to do ; )

Using the TF100 test kit I get a TA of 90. My pH is 7.5. I am now manually chlorinating with 10% pool essentials chlorine and watching my CYA go down! Thx everyone. My question- TFP pool math calculator says TA target should be 50-90. However the laminated card in the test kit says the target...

Do you mind sharing your source? Thanks in advance.

I'm a winemaker by trade and am used to buying chems in bulk. In fact I have soda ash in house that I've used effectively to adjust pH. I just joined here and received invaluable info to my newbie posts. I'm waiting on my TF-100xl test kit and as suggested on the forum I loaded up on some...

Mr Bruce - appreciate the offer and reply. I may take you up on that. For your CYA - did you drain a few inches out of the pool in advance of the rain?

Thanks for the immediate input. I just ordered a TF-100xl test kit. I've got about 50 lbs of solid chlorine pucks. I had no idea they contributed to CYA through tri and dichlor compounds. Just read a fact sheet about that. Also, I just "discovered" CYA and it's importance to pool chemistry...

As the title suggests we moved states to the western mountains of NC and bought a pool that came with a smallish house. Pool - inground L shaped vinyl 36,000 gallon, 2 skimmer baskets, a third skimmer converted to a vacuum line and a main in the deep end (diving board), Pentair Intelliflo 3 HP...
