Well, I ordered a spider gasket. Hope it is the correct one. Will try to plug all the lines to the filter and open up the top of the valve. Any tips, hint, help ..... to find out if I messed up the inside of the multi port selection when I took it apart?

yes it is But I have not balanced the water, I could drain, or plug the return lines

My multi port valve developed a leak under the handle last year. After winterizing the pool, I took the multi ported valve apart, reset the spider gasket and put it back together. I also took apart the handle assembly, but did not pay attention on how I put it back together. I suspect I have the...

That rolled up hose is needed as well when you back-wash the filter. Might keep the algaecide 60, and the floater for vacation.

Clarification: I have an AGP After the last freeze, when the weather starts getting warm & sunny, I reconnect my filter and pump. The cover stays on the whole time during this. I fill up to the middle of the skimmer, start up the pump & filter. Checking and adjusting chemicals every day or so...

I would prefer the fall. Liner will be pliable, since the weather is warm. Chemicals are dialed in for closing. Spring: Need to wait for warm weather, liner needs to be pliable for installation. Hard to get an appointment, since whole new pool builds are more financially beneficial to the builder.

This kind of looks like mine when I had metal staining. Have you tried to rub some vitamin C tablet (Ascorbic Acid) on the stain?

In the last photo.. Is that the rebar showing in the corner? If so, that definitely needs to be covered better.

I never had an in ground pool, but had some bad covers!!! If leaves get under and sit all winter, it can lead to discolorations. When my liner needed replacing, I left the pool uncovered and everything was ripped out the next spring. The liner was pretty stained, but since it was replaced I...

My first thought is: Did the previous owner replace the liner, and the installer did not fix the cove before the new installation? (I have all kinds of footprints, dips, divots and indentations in my liner after the did that during my liner replacement.) Do you have auto-fill? Meaning: you...

Before adding more sand, make sure you don't overfill. The sand level looks OK to me.

Algecide doesn't kill algea.

Looks like it was seamed together sloppy, but it's perfectly OK the way it is. Cosmetics only. You only notice it, because of the pattern.

XtraBlue ..... is the hidden additive for metal. You do not want to start battling metal stains. Do your "Shocking" with regular bleach only.

If water can get inside the steps where the sand is..... Yes, you will get algae. There won't be any circulation getting to those areas. Can you get the sand out? We filled some PVC pipes with gravel and put endcaps on both sides. 3 of those are holding down our steps. Or you can fill empty...

Double check your CYA With tabs and granular shock, it is probably much higher than 30.

One year my CYA broke down over the winter and I was battling ammonia for a while. That took a lot of bleach!! You might have the same problem?

Very true!!! Finally used up the last of my Borax. (In our campers black tank) Baking Soda has many, many more useful purposes. (Vinegar + baking soda for drain cleaning) So, even if you bought it for the pool, eventually it gets used up for other purposes.

How old is that liner? Mine developed some wrinkles over time due to age. I nursed it along as long as possible, fixing some small tears as they developed, and replacing it when it was absolutely necessary. (Meaning: When we had the money saved up for it!)

(they are 400mmx400mmx50mm), 8" x 8" x 2"

So, this is your sewer pipe????? And it is draining into your pool???

I use the first empty bleach bottle of the year & cut a large opening under the handle. After that I pour in 3 cups water, use a sharpie to mark a level all the way around, repeat at 6 cups, 9 cups etc. (I do remove the label first) I use this as my personalized measuring jug.

Photoshop?

I'm on my 3rd year with the same 100 pack!!! Heavy use during spring-pollen, have to put a new one in every 2 days or so. Rest of the year I need a new one every 2 weeks or so.

How did your FC go up overnight? Did you turn off the SWG like its supposed to for an OCLT?

I use empty bleach bottles, filled with gravel & topped off with bleach, to weigh down my steps. My husband also made me some 20" long PVC pipes, filled with concrete & capped off on both ends. Could use another one of those, but it's not worth getting another 40 lb bag of concrete mix for that...

Any Cottonwood trees in your neighborhood?

Thank you Will do
