I was worried about that too, but from what I understand liners are cut based on the expected temperature when they are installed. "Cold cut" liners are cut bigger because they stretch less in colder weather, so this liner probably won't stretch as much as a liner installed in warmer months...

Agreed... thanks.

Like the title says, I got a new liner installed today. I had a leak over the winter so the pool store moved me up from end of April. It's 65 and sunny. I have about 2' of water in the deep end. I did the 5-gallon bucket test and I determined it should take about 55 hours to fill up. The...

For anyone with the same issues, the salt on the cover did not work. It was not able to keep up with the snow and the snow just accumulated on top of the salt. I went out four times and reapplied and it had very little effect. Cover survived even though my water level was low. Now it's even...

Thanks for the responses. I did go out and use the Gorilla tape to patch the rips in the liner. Not sure how well it will hold and I know that if I try to fill it up, it won't be able to hold the weight of the water so I'm just leaving it as is. I did it more to prevent water from getting...

I have vinyl liner that is getting replaced in the spring. It has a fairly substantial leak. For example, about two weeks ago, we were expecting snow. I have a mesh safety cover and I read that you should keep the water within 12" of the deck so that snow will not overly stress the cover. I...

At the end of the season before last, I got a small tear in my liner. I thought I fixed it with a patch, but when I opened this past spring, my pool had mostly drained. There was about an inch of water in the shallow end. The deep end is 8 feet when full. I could see rings around the deep...

I used to have this happen every year... I would open my pool and CYA would be 0. No one could ever explain it but people told me it happens sometimes. Just use pucks initially to up your stabilizer numbers.

The patch is in the deep end so it's no where near the top which is where the stretching is needed. I am in South Jersey, so warm for us right now will be 70s as well. It's really annoying because we have a seemingly never-ending cold spell right now, even for NJ. Temps for the next two weeks...

Yes, there was a hole that I thought I fixed at the end of last season.

There is 20" of water right now. Everything I've read says you should fill the pool on a warm, sunnt day. The problem is, other than today, which wasn't really warm, but was sunny, its supposed to be cold and cloudy for the next few days. Not sure if I should stop filling it up tonight...

As I said in the other post, my pool drained over the winter due to a small leak I thought I fixed at the end of last season. I fixed that and I am in the process of filling it back up, but the liner seems to have strunk. It's pulling across the corners. It's hard to see, but there are two...

Thanks for the responses... yes, the cover is removable. It screws on. It has been full of algae since I can remember. Because my pool accidentally drained over the winter, I finally was able to take it off and clean it out since it is not underwater. I think it may be related to fiberoptic...

I did the bigger patch over the smaller one. It was hard to get all of the edges down flat due to the size. I put on a ton of the glue (used about half the bottle). Did a bucket test and it seems to be holding (knock on wood). I also bought some dye and dropped it in right over the area of...

Owned the pool for nine years... never knew what this thing was.

Thanks... I actually found my patch kit from last year so I redid the patch. Ripped the old one off, which was probably a bad idea. Cut the new one much bigger and redid it. The hole is in the deep end on the slanted part of the wall, so it's hard to get to, even with the water half drained...

I was cleaning my pool at the end of last season using the brush. The brush head came off the pole and I accidentally put a small hole in the liner with the edge of the pole. I bought a patch kit that day and tried to patch it. It was very hard to patch because I had to swim down to where the...

I just did that a week or two ago when I was trying to figure this out. I took everything apart from the pump to the filter grids and make sure there were no blockage issues.
