    Strange goop building up

    Just above the skimmer of my in ground vinyl liner pool I’ve been getting a build up behind the liner of this thick whitish opaque goop. It pushes the liner out of the track. You can push it out and scrape it off with a spatula. I can not figure out what is going on. It’s been going on awhile...

    Algae or dirt? Sorry long post

    History, had this in April, a month ago, and showed up again two days ago. Slammed both times. They are building a new house behind me and the first time it started had cleared the lot and removed many many trees. Last Thursday and Friday they brought in that nice red dirt and did the final...

    Husband vs SWG

    Slammed pool all week and waiting for my FC to drift down. Slow go. It's 19-20 right now. DH thinks the SWG should be left on at a low 5 % so it will be producing when it needs to. I say off until I get closer to my numbers. Running pump 8'hrs. He doesn't subscribe to TFP, so it's been a battle...

    Overshot FC

    Yes, slamming again. HD 2.5 inches of rain last Friday and algae started back Saturday. Overshot FC target of 28 to 35. Should I be freaking out? Vinyl liner and sun setting.

    Done? Green algae

    Posted yesterday for ph question. I had green algae when brushing (water clear until brushed). Raised my FC to 22 CYA was 50. Overnight test showed no loss, but I brushed the pool and had small amounts of algae poof up (dead I am hoping). Do I leave my SWG off now and when do I check everything...

    Adjust ph or not

    I've finally accepted that I have green algae. I was hoping it was pollen. Water has been clear until I brush then plumes up green. I have a inground vinyl SWG. I raised the percentage up yesterday to 50. Normally run around 5-10. Pool is about 15,000 gallons with the Hayward 15 ( for 40,000...

    Liner color

    Does anyone have the Bonneville Tan Mosaic liner or the Gulf Coast Gold pebble liner? Getting a pool (Grecian 14 x 28) and I do not like the blue colored liner. I have samples but they look so dark. Photos I've found online make it hard to judge the real color. Pool will be screen enclosed, so...
