    anyone painted or recoated their concrete decking???

    Hello, my Kool Deck is now probably 35 years old. It's in decent shape, there's some cracks which I've repaired, and 10 years ago when the liner was replaced the contractor also painted or recoated the decking.

    IG vinyl leak at steps?

    This sort of makes sense to me but I wanted to see if I was off. The pool is over 35 years old and the steps are fiberglass, and there's some cracking in the gelcoat, and a few pieces actually missing now, where you can see the strands of fiberglass underneath. I think this is a likely spot...

    baffling stain

    Hello, I've used all the recommendations on this site for a few years with good success, as well as the test kit that's sold. So this summer my pool has been staying virtually clear of algae and the water looks great, except for some splotchy green stains in the deep end. They look exactly...

    algae question

    Good afternoon I have a green swamp. Not real bad, you can see the bottom in the shallow end. Before finding this site, over the winter I had dumped trichlor into the pool every month or so to try and keep the algae away. So now, I have my test kit and the CYA test is way over 100. Only got...
