I'd let them know also. Do your best to not seem like you're angry or blaming them or looking to take any sort of action against them, or they may get defensive right away.

I've had mine up for 3 years in New York and have had no issues. I drain below the inlet for the pump

Funny, I saw the name and said I know people with that last name. Then Kim said you're from bethpage, and that's where I was from too. [emoji41] So I guess I know you, or at least some of your family. With the high CC number and the way the water looks, you definitely need to slam the pool. I...

I've had no issues with my 16' round intex ultra frame using the pump/cartridge filter setup that came with it. I run it 8 hours a day, usually in the late afternoon to night, and stay on top of my fc levels to make sure the never go below the recommendations.

I was reading through some of the vacation threads, and as you would think it's mentioned it's best to cover the pool if you plan to be away. However, no one mentioned which cover would be better, the solar cover (in my case, clear) or solid (winter) cover. First off, I'm only going to be away...

My local ace hardware has the 10% for 2/$7. The austins liquid chlorine at bjs is essentially the same price, but 12.5% concentration. I saw you said you stopped using it, I was wondering if it was because it sat around in the store and wasn't effective or something. Just wanted to check...

I just saw liquid chlorine in bjs yesterday, and I think it was Austin brand 12.5% for 13.99 for 4 gallons, which is a pretty good deal. Is there a reason you stopped using it?

We had the same thing happen to our driveway when it was done. The brush strokes were even, but it had so many odd patterns and different colors to it. It all evened out within the first few months.

Not to get off topic, but I've heard if you line up the upper row of screws with the grey edge, you can get away with only 2 rows of tiles showing on the liner. Hope this may sway you to doing the install

Most likely metal staining. I just went through the same exact thing. My water was yellow/green tinted and was filled with city water. You likely have iron and copper in your water, that's what my mix was. I used a product called metal magic by proteam and it worked great. For your size pool you...

Yea, maintenance says 1 oz per 5000 gallons per week, so 1 oz per week from here on out. Should be more than enough to get me through the rest of the season. Ph seems to stay pretty stable. It lowered from 7.6 to 7.2 but I assumed that was from the sequestrant addition. I'll give it a while and...

Ok, so I wound up using a product called metal magic by pro team. Many people on here recommended it and it said it was able to be used with an fc of 3. I dumped half the bottle in the pool and let it run. By the next morning it was like a new pool. No more tint just nice clear water. Here...

Are you running this with both the suction and skimmer valves open at the same time? I would think that would reduce the suction through the skimmer by about half vs if it were the only valve open. Edit: never mind saw the suction valve is closed in the pictures. Didn't notice it first time I...

So I'm waiting for my fc levels to come down a bit before I use a sequestrant. It's going to take a few days as I only lose about 1.5 fc per 24 hour period. I figured I would do a full round of tests while I was at it. Fc 7 Cc .2 Ph 7.5. (It wasn't quite light enough for 7.4 or dark enough for...

Yep, definitely have some metals. Drain and refill will certainly yield the same result, so no point in that. It seems a lot of people have had this problem on Long Island. I read up on the sparkle conquest and read pretty good things about it. It seems to be chemically the same as the other...

@Northrn Yes I read that article. I don't have any staining, just tinted water. @kpromero My water has looked like this since I filled the pool at the beginning of the month. I don't think I'm going to be lucky enough to have it disappear on its own.

K so I tested my water first than headed off to Leslie's to have them test it for me also. Got all the same numbers as my tests and said my chemistry looks great. I asked him to test for metals also as I have a yellow tint. Seems a common problem on Long Island is soft water which corrodes the...

Is your concrete slab completely level? Have you verified for yourself with a level? If it is truly level, I would think you could set your pool up on it with a pool pad or mat underneath. I'd wait for someone else to chime in also.

Wish I would have known that before I brought it up from 7.2 to 7.6. Should I lower it from where it is now. I have a Leslie's nearby I can probably go to to check iron levels

I read on that also and thought the same thing. My water source was city water. Here are quality reports from the water company. http://www.amwater.com/twq/merrick_twq.pdf http://www.amwater.com/ccr/merrick.pdf

Ok guys, I think I need some guidance here. I have to add my info in to my post here as it seems tapatalk has gotten rid of the signature option, or I just can't find it. Im in Long Island ny, and have an intex ultra frame 16'x48" round which is about 5000 gallons. I'm using the intex 635t...

You may not mind doing it at first, but I'm sure it would get old and tiring really quick. As much as it sucks to see someone spend money unnecessarily on subpar services, sometimes that's what people would rather do. If I were you, I'd let her hire the pool company and you can oversee what they...

Nyflyingpizza.com You're welcome. Haha. This place is on Long Island right in bethpage where I used to live. I've eaten there multiple times, and they do make a good pie. Doesn't hurt to give it a shot.

I love living in ny, but only cause of pizza and bagels haha

I can't see from your pictures, but it looks like you should be able to dig down the higher posts to be level with the lower ones. You have to jack up a spot near each post so you can dig out from under the post. This should get you by for this summer, and then unfortunately at the end of this...

This is interesting. Maybe I'll go this route down the line. In for more pics

Steps are installed to deep, they should be flush with the ground, not having the patio come over the top. Whose idea was that? The bulge on the steps is there to meet the edge of the coping on the pool. As someone else said, that isn't just a little wrong, but wrong wrong. It looks like they...

Model number for the filter is gm-142. Doesn't seem to be much to it at all. Greg Long Island, NY

I watch YouTube videos on how to do things all the time haha. Even if I know how to do it I'll watch to pick up different tricks. They're really a great resource. I went through my shed yesterday to clean/organize and see what all I had. Now that I can actually get the filter out I'll take a...

I think you're right with needing to step back and take a breath. I'll be filling the pool with New York City water. Supposedly it's very good, so I don't think I should have much trouble with the chemistry. I'm going to go pick up the pool, and grab some bleach and stabilizer while I'm out...
