Hey everyone. My wife and I purchased a home over the summer that came with the pool in my signature below. This is our first in ground so we are trying to learn all that we can. Admittedly aside from having a fairly new liner the pool has been a chore so far. We are still learning how to work the chemistry correctly (pool store sold us on all their chemicals the first go around, but we will be using the methods here going forward next year. We likely didn't balance the chemicals correctly this season as we were using an old test kit that the homeowner left and trying to figure out the proper ratios in which to add the chemicals but we are learning. We kept clear water that was fine for swimming in the meantime.
So far we are suffering from a leaking multiport valve (needs to be replaced next spring) and some harsh yellowish brown stains on the fiberglass steps, and a crack in the slide but we did get to enjoy the pool for two months before winterizing it. We are removing the heater next spring (doesn't work and we don't need it) and adding a pump timer. We look forward to next season and to learn all that we can here.
