Hey Homebrewale, we’re over in Fuquay. Almost neighbors and with similar pools. What FC level do you close with?

Applause for the idea and fabrication.(y)

thank you, folks. happy Time Change tonight

Lifted the pool cover to see how the pool fared over the winter. Water looks great, but a lot of worms on the bottom for cleaning. But then in the shallow end, the liner had lifted off the bottom. Besides refilling the pool to normal level, I assume that I need to get in and underwater to...

Thank you all for your responses. I'll be checking with the installer to see if they can offer a little help, though I doubt it. I will correct the likely drainage issues that have caused the problem, and then wait for the next liner installation to correct the base. Hey lumpy looks like a...

My skimmer housing (my word for lack of a better) is cracked at the back of the assembly at the basket seating level where it joins the vertical section reaching up to the pool deck. The skimmer basket seat down to the pump supply inlets are in tact. There does not to appear to be any leakage...
