Pool is covered and we got an inch of rain last night. There was no water on the cover when I put the duck tape in to Mark the level nor yesterday when I checked it before the rain. The pool was damaged like that when I opened the shipping crate 9 years ago. The company gave me grief about...

I’ll get a picture later but the cover is still on so there is no evaporation. That’s why I know the amount. I left for work for 10 days and put duck tape at the water level the day before I left.

I’m in CT. The pool is still closed with a cover on it. It’s a 26,000 gallon pool. I have a visible leak on the side of the pool. I’m loosing about 3/16 of an inch of water over a 10 day period so it’s not a huge leak. I’ve pulled the cover open enough to look at the area of where the leak is...

Yes all the lines are drained and the shutoffs stay open for the winter. I disconnect the pump and take it inside for the winter. Filter gets drained with drain cover left off and the return lines are plugged at the pool wall. As I said I’ve never had an issue in 8 years but I’ve always had the...

Maybe I’m over cautious. I would think the skimmer would break apart from ice freezing in it once the water level rises from the snow load of the skimmer was left uncovered.

I saw those online when I was looking but didn’t think they would really save the skimmer from cracking or breaking. It looked like something that would just plug the piping. The water level goes up and down depending on the weight of the snow water and ice on the cover. The cover is waterproof.

So I’ve had this pool for 8 years now. It’s an agp. I’m in CT so the pool will freeze a foot or 2 thick in the dead of winter. I’ve been gone for a month and now have to get it closed before winter. We already had snow and temps of 24 while I’ve been gone. Anyway I’ve always used the plastic...

I’m in NW CT and had the wood stove on 2 days last week. So the pool is still under the winter cover. I did repair my wall last weekend and install a new skimmer. So this week I’ve been filling the pool. I took it down about 14” last fall knowing I was replacing the skimmer and not knowing if a...

The pool isn’t open yet this year. I’m just starting to work on that. But last year it just never seemed to be clear. The crystal sparkly clear the water use to be like. When I’d test the pool all the numbers where where they should be. I’ve been following the BBB plan for 8 years now. My...

I have a 26,000 gallon agp. I want better filtering than the sand filter I have. Is there anything I need to be aware of when looking at cartridge filters for this? I was going to try and find something used.

I have a 21x43 AGP with a 7 ft deepend. It was installed in 2012. So it looks like the skimmer has a small leak I haven’t noticed and there is rust forming. Also on one of the oval ends at the bottom there is some rust forming. So I’m looking for some advice and experience anyone else may...

So starting to think about opening the pool this year. Looking around I’m seeing about half of the wall around the bottom of the pool is starting to rust from where it sits in the track working it’s way up. Also one corner of the skimmer hole is rusted. It doesn’t spread to be leaking at this...

Should I raise the CYA to about 40? The reason I bought the Liquidator this season is because I travel for up to 2 weeks at a time and I have no one to look after the pool while I'm away on a regular basis. So I'm hoping with the 8 gallon one I can get 2 weeks between refills. Okay on the PH

Im just getting the pool going this year. Its been open for 2 weeks now but we haven't been in it yet. The water is clear. Mainly I'm wondering if I should bump my CYA up and my PH? Numbers as of now: FC 5.5 CC 0 TA 80 CH 30 CYA 20 PH 7.2 I just added the Luiquidator to my system when I...

I just ordered the Liquidator. I think it was the cheapest route to go for me at the moment. Also I'm hesitant to change over to saltwater 1. Because with a new job and being gone so much now I don't really have the time to figure out a new system. 2. Because I'm hesitant to run salt water...

I'm not sure if this is the right forum to post this but I'm sure someone will move it if needed. Anyway I have to find a solution to my problem before I can open my pool this season. Due to some life changing events I need to figure out how to add bleach to my pool automatically. For work I...
