Yes, I do have a main drain, so the dye test would be the best way to determine if that is where the leak is?

I suspected a leak all last season, but now that the pool is closed I definitely have a leak. My pool has lost water down to only about a foot of water in the pool since it was closed. So does it mean it's the liner, since everything is plugged and closed? So sad that the liner only got 6...

My pool closing is scheduled for this Thursday. I noticed last year they put in 4 gallons of 12.5% chlorine (yes I should have asked before they did anything last year). I suspect that is why I'm seeing significant fading on the bottom of my vinyl liner when I opened this summer. The liner...

I’m like you I’m so over manual vacuuming, I tried a cleaner like the link you posted but had no luck with my pool it stayed stuck in the deep end. My deep end has very sloped walls on all sides. I have almost bought a dolphin 3x’s this summer but the cost makes me stop every time. By the time...

I'm getting ready to purchase a robot, but if yours stopped after a month, I'm scared! Just wondering if you contacted Marina and what feedback you received? Thx

My CYA is 30

Just curious if these readings look good, and chlorine consumption is normal. I'm having troulbe keeping the pool clean this year, water is crystal clear, but lots of dirt continues to enter the pool. I'm resarching a robot vacuum, since right now I am the robot! 7/1 6:30 am FC 5 Added 128...

I have passed the OCLT and I do think the musty smell has diminished, I have also turned the jets up to ripple and break the surface of the water a little. i am curious if you think I’m losing too much chlorine. 7/1 6:30 am FC 5 Added 128 oz 10% bleach 7/1 8:30 pm FC 5 7/2 6:30 am FC 5 Added...

Moved from here. I am experiencing the same musty smell on our hair, towels and swimsuits. Water is clear, we do get dirt on the bottom and vacuum weekly but it’s only small dirt trails that accumulate. My test numbers: FC: 4 CC: 0 Ph: 7.4 TA: 50 CH: 75 CYA: 30 Adding a gallon of 10% liquid...

I am also having a hard time finding the bleach I used from Target. I have always used their brand 8.25% with no additives and it worked great. I have had to switch to Wal Mart to buy Pool Essentials 10% bleach. It’s about a dollar more than what I was paying for Target’s bleach but it is a...

I'm paying $2.70 for 121 oz of 8.25% after using Cartwheel app and Red Card at Target. Up and Up brand - with no discount it's $2.99. I've yet to find a time that the the Up and Up laundry products are not on special on the Cartwheel app.

I had a hard time getting clear this year, waited too long to open and I was very green. After 3 weeks I could finally start to see the dirt in the bottom and I started vacuuming. I was brushing, but not vacuuming as often as I should have. I also added skimmer socks, didn't make it to the...

Thank you for your input - I edited my post, turns out i'm forgetful!

We opened the pool 2 weeks ago, and we noticed this week, that the pressure drops by 10 randomly, and air bubbles blow into the pool, and at other times the pressure and flow is fine. The pump seems louder than normal, but I also noticed that the basket in front of the pump is not always filled...

I agree with Dave, I have used both and once you know the right way to use a leaf net, not like a leaf rake (don't laugh somehow I really didn't know but once I started scooping and not raking - wow!) it is efficient and faster than the Leaf Master.

We replaced the GFI tonight, still no power :-( Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk

We just had our liner replaced and the installer told us that the light hook up in the pool was bad and he couldn't get the chord pulled back through so he didn't hook it back up - I don't really have proof of what was wrong, I wasn't there and he called my husband about it. Then when we went...

Hi bobbyzgirl, im also new to the site. Like you I have a lot of leaves and a mesh cover, and I'm hoping next year, with the help if this site, I won't open to a swamp and won't spend hundreds of dollars clearing the swamp. Should be a fun journey, looking forward to learning lots. WELCOME...

Just wanted to take a minute to introduce myself, I'm new to TFP this year, have been a pool owner for 7 years and finally got tired of running to the pool store. We just replaced our vinyl liner in our IG pool, so I wanted to start off right with good water chemistry. Thankful for this...
