I took the survey. I guess it’s only $20 but maybe they’ll send me something to test when it’s ready. FWIW, one of the questions asked about forums like “troublefreepool” and how they influence purchasing opinions.

The water level at the top of the steps and a liner section that looks dislodged from the track makes me suspect leaking. I could be wrong but figured I’d highlight it.

Gonna agree with above. But I can also suggest that there may water leaking into the soil and helping that soil move even more. I don’t think a cantilever style deck is going to change anything. It’s actually a little harder to deal with decking problems when the deck is over the edge of the pool.

Mine takes a while too sometimes. Just let it keep soaking

Are they going to mail a check to your home address or send PayPal?

The algaecide is not dangerous to people per se, just the equipment, but the low chlorine level of 1.5ppm can be. That’s what everyone has been trying to say.

Really? I’d definitely confirm that. That’s crazy for drinking water.

It’s already been done and the answer is not to build anything directly on clay soil. 😉

The hose water sample is likely inaccurate. If there’s another store to test at, try taking a sample there. Have you been adding algaecide or chlorine pucks with “blue” in the name?

Look around at some threads for the core models. They seem to have sealing issues at the cell.

When the clay gets wet it won’t be so hard anymore.

There was a thread somewhere that said to try using a brand new battery. I don’t remember the details on it but something like removing the battery and replacing it fixed the issue. Might try that.

Is the copper 11.8% the concentration of copper in your water now or what’s in the algaecide? Copper algaecide is more expensive than chlorine and doesn’t sanitize the water(it just kills algae).

Refer back to post #2 for the SLAM process.

Chems are not in balance. What’s the CYA level?
