    Please recommend an online company to make me a new vinyl inground pool liner

    Could someone please recommend a reputable online company that I may order a new vinyl in ground liner from. I have looked around a lot but thought I should ask here before making a move.

    As good a place as any to ask....Chlorine % vs Price...It does prevent Algae.

    Wanted to know if this is happening in your area as well. Last year liquid bleach at W. mart or F. Dollar or at D. General was around 3.00 per gal. for 8.25 %. This year its still around 3.00 per gallon but in ALL of those stores the percentage of chlorine went down to 6.0 percent ! How about...

    Two questions. Salt level and Cheap test kit for FC only.

When I go in this time they say my salt level is high...?? I do not run a salt pool, I use bleach only. She swears...

    No pool cover here either !

    Phenix City Al. No pool cover ! All I did was go out and take a leaf rake to it from time to it this winter ( if you could call it a winter). I let Mother Nature take her course. She did a very fine job ! I always run my pump 24 7 during all four seasons and I think I may have backwashed twice...

    Crazy question..

    I am unable to measure CYA right now and do not trust the store results. I think I have almost no CYA and cannot tell for sure till I order the reagent. Here gos my question.
