Thanks. Oddly, I did just get a notification of your response. I'll wait and see what develops before I bother him.

I am not receiving e-mail notifications that there's activity on one of my posts or a thread I'm watching. I'm pretty sure that I've set all required parameters properly and I've checked my SPAM boxes. No e-mail from the Forum although I do receive occasional mail about the test kits. The e-mail...

Oh no! I'm so sorry to see that. At least ours is draining just 2" per day. So, these constructions in the works, talk about resin pools and such, where would I find those threads? Because I suspect we'll be building a new one next year.

I am going to attach several photos of the current situation. This shows the strut (is that the right term?) no longer fully attached to the metal due to the skin warping. This is the warping and bowing of the metal skin at the bottom. It developed a couple of years ago possibly due to the...

I appreciate your comments regarding leaving an AGP empty over winter due to the likelihood of collapse in the absence of the internal support provided by the water. The pool is still draining about 2" every 24 hrs. The leak is probably on the bottom of the liner where the 'sinkhole' in the...

Thank you. The pool is now nearly empty which means the leak is on the bottom rather than the side. We'll try to locate it and patch it but won't be able to fill the pool until late next spring. I only hope the sides don't collapse.

Thanks for your response and the photos. You backfilled with clay over the stone before you put the foam down? No sand layer? And no coveing (sp?) along the bottom? I've always been under the impression that the cove is necessary for steel shell AGPs but that may not be so for Intext pools. ETA...

There's a hole in my liner . . . The water drains about 2" per 24 hrs. It's now down below all fittings and is at about the level we put it when we winterize. We're hoping it stays because that would give us the opportunity to really examine the sides, see if there's a tear at that level. If we...
