But it doesn’t matter anyway, because I’m fixing it proper this time.

Who can say. The previous owners were dumb. When they sold the house they removed the salt cell and sold it. They also took the shower doors out and sold them to the neighbor across the street. I suspect that they did it that way to make it easy to change the filter sand, but who can say. I...

The stairs are fiberglass. I will post pictures when it is full. It *was* full, but this happened. It dumped about 8,000 gallons into the equipment shed before I noticed. When I turned the pump on and primed it yesterday morning, all was well. I spent about an hour outside and all was...

In the end, the floor is smooth again, and the walls below the concrete no longer have sunken in spots. The builders jokingly called it a standing ledge that developed over time.

Eh, honestly it’s done. Any additional repairs will probably be completed by the next owners. I only plan on having this house for another 5 years or so

I learned a lot of things when they removed the old liner... 1. Yes there is new padding between the concrete wall and liner. There was foam padding there previously but it was end of life. 2. The pool was originally a sand base, but they said this was vermiculite, or at least that’s what I...

Before Day 1 Day 2 Day 3

Hey everyone, I meant to follow up here when the work started. Here are the photos. They are coming back today to do finish. I think they called it ‘cut in’?

Dang... our pool only gets about 5 hours of sun per day, the warmest it has gotten this year is 84. I guess I will eventually have to invest in a heater.

Thanks, I will get an estimate from them.

Also, is it normal for the sides of the deep end to come in at an angle like this? Would now be a good time to have a light installed? Is that even possible to do as an after thought?

It is hard to see in the pictures but below the stairs the wall is starting to bow out, and there are massive bumps under the liner where water has gotten under it, and I suspect continues to get under it.

Well, I have been watching it slowly happen for the past 4 years. A rock has finally penetrated my liner. It has several other patched holes, and things that need to be repaired when the liner is replaced. Will getting a darker color liner help the water warm up more/faster? Can anyone here...

Sadly no it is not a product they sell. As for the bleach being bad for everything, it's all just chlorine in different concentration strengths. In high concentration it can bleach your clothes, the same as it would in your washing machine. For the concentration levels we are taking about in...

I was told that bleach would ruin my filter by the person at the pool store, but after some googling, I was able to confirm what the awesome people here were telling me. Regular household bleach is the same as the liquid chlorine the pool store sells, the only difference is the 'pool chlorine'...
