Thanks Duraleigh for the reply. The track doesn't look bad but I figure before I install a little cleaning won't hurt. I just don't to mess up and waste my liner lock.

Hi! It seems every spring a small section of my liner pops out on each side of the steps past the corners in the shallow end, so this year I bought a 120 ft. roll of liner lock. There's no instructions with it so it must be pretty straight forward to use, right? Thanks to Waste, I've got...

Hello. My Caldera hot tub is just over a year old and has developed two small blisters on the interior shell surface. It was installed correctly and the water chemistry has been maintained with Caldera's chemicals. I've looked online and found where someone said it's a company defect where...

My Hayward Super Pump went out yesterday and the weather forecast predicts 33 degrees tonight and 27 degrees for tomorrow night then back to 33 degrees. I got the motor taken to an electrical motor service but I have a question in case I don't get it back and installed today. If I use a 125...

Hey Waste, so good to hear from you! :wave: Hope all is well with you and yours! My winter went well. How was yours? What do you do when the pool season ends? You are right about me loathing to have the PB back out here so after talking with others in my area I chose not to close the pool...

Jason, thanks for the reply! I'll go turn on the hose right now. According to the weather forecasts starting tomorrow we should get dryer weather for the next week. How do I keep wrinkles from forming? Just keep brushing it and try to keep it smoothed out while the ground drys up?

I noticed my liner at my steps is suddenly loose at the wall near the pool bottom. I tried brushing it down but it poofs back up. The ground is overly saturated from all the rain we're getting and I'm thinking the liner might be trying to float. Is there anything I can do to prevent this from...

I've been reading through alot of the posts about CYA and it seems that the pool stores are recommending shocking and using their chlorine pucks and in the long run all it does is raise the CYA resulting in a harder time maintaining chlorine levels. I just restarted my pool and following PB...

Please keep us posted on your Ameridome!

I just stumbled across this while I was searching for something else. Curious as to your thoughts and comments. . . http://www.aquashield.com/module/option ... /Itemid,1/

I am very grateful for the rain -- I got to wash a load of clothes! :-D Last time we had rain it came down so fast the ground was too dry and hard to absorb it. It flooded the yard and came over the concrete near the pool's edge and the overflow couldn't handle it. I was just glad it was...

Thanks for the quick reply! I've emptied an inch at least each hour and was worried what might happen during the night. Our ground is so dry it's hard for the rain to soak in and it turns to run off which has a great chance of going into the pool.

Hey, we're finally getting rain down south here where we need it but I need to know what to do tonight. I've already gone out twice and backwashed/rinsed a few inches of water out but am wondering what to do tonight. I'm afraid the overflow can't handle it (it couldn't the only other time we...

Quick question and hopefully a quick reply: We are finally getting the desperately needed rain and I'm wondering can the overflow really handle all the rain we are suppose to get until 10:00 AM tomorrow? One other time we had rain (since I got the pool) and the level rose so high so quick the...

A dramatic twist, just when we all thought everything was going my way . . Two pB (pool Bullies) showed up late this afternoon and wanted to come in to look at the pool. I let them in and then was asked if I had put in the chems. I said "no, I'm still getting the yucky stuff out and want to...

You're right - except I bet he'd never used them in the first place on his pool, just got all new water!

Thanks! Where would I find that Lowes/Home Depot?

Thanks so much for the outline. I'll keep the pump running today and tomorrow, backwash again, and start the plan Friday just in case I need to empty some water due to the rain (forecasted 50% chance for today & tomorrow). They actually overfilled pool a little since they knew I was going to...

Dang, it's been a long day - I hit "submit" instead of "preview". I would rather go BBB all the way unless I do need to use some of the chems. Would you mind giving me a step 1, 2, 3. . of what I should do? Remember I'm a newbie and the first and only time my pool was filled the pool...

Sorry, I added a profile when I first registered but evidently did something wrong :oops: ! In case it doesn't work this time my pool is: IG vinyl 16'x32' 17,829 gallons Sand Filter So when the results from the store say "Not Tested" it means not tested-- so why didn't they test for copper...

Here's the complete water test results: Temperature: 65 (she said she just guessed) Saturation Idx: -0.9 TDS: Not Tested CYA: Not Tested Tot. Chlorine: 0.5 Free Chlorine: 0.5 pH: 7.1 Tot. Alkalinity: 82 Adj. Total Alk.: 82 Tot. Hardness: 93 Optimizer+: 7 Copper: Not Tested ( to me...

After a little research I think they got the containers from some type of food manufacturer and it's a type of oil/butter substitute. I guess they were thinking it would save me on sunscreen -- just dive in and get coated :?: Here's some pics of the stuff. Today's plan is to take in a water...

Hey guys! New liner is in and pool is refilled! :party: Titanium, I'll work on the pics (let me know what you want to see) and I'll be glad to show you. As to the crewleader signature holding up, it'd better because he does the majority of the work AND he's the pb's brother :) ...

Guess what? The crew showed up around 9:30 so I called the neighbors and they came right back. The crewleader didn't have the signed agreement so I asked him if he'd sign one before they started working. He told me to let them pull the trucks in and get off the road, so I did. By that time...

It's 9:00 AM Monday morning. My neighbors were here at 7:45 and just now left. The pb did not show up at 8:00 and hasn't called.
