I think a SWG is exactly what you are wanting... I was gone for 5 weeks and my pool was just fine, FC was at 9 when I returned and the pool was crystal clear... :)

I forgot this part.. Alway raise FC using liquid.. SWG are great at keeping FC at a level and they suck at raising FC levels as it takes longer run times...

For your area I would recommend CYA at 70 to 80 and FC at 6 to 7.. I always recommend a higher FC level than recommended levels cause I do not like messing with the lower numbers of 3 to 4 FC as one small thing happening in the pool and bam your below the level and have to SLAM.. SLAMing at...

Welcome to TFP :) That is normal for the pump and filter to work.. Was your last filter a sand filter and did you have it on backwash when you were running the vacuum? If so the water would have gone out the backwash port and not back into the pool..

From the looks of the pool I would say a new liner would be easy and should be no problem at all.. Here is the kicker... If you pull the old liner off and the wall is almost all the way rusted through but I just do not see it from the outside and usually that is where you see it first.. With...

Welcome to TFP and a fellow okie :)

That is the best looking over 30 year old pool I have ever seen :) I have seen 12 year old pools with more rust and holes in them... Is the liner leaking or is it leaking just at the through wall piece you are showing in the pictures?

Seth and Margaret are really great to work with.. :)

I would probably do it this year.. You do not have to do it yearly but some do... It will help settle and clean your filter for the season :)

Not sure where you got CYA from.. The Cal-hypo will raise your CA.. :)

I am the same :)

You can also put it on Facebook marketplace and I bet it will be gone by next week :)

The S200 and the M600 come with a 60 foot cord and the power supply has a 5 foot cord connected to it... If you buy or get the caddy the power supply sits on it so you can have about 62 to 64 feet of cord... :)

LOL, steel pools last just long enough to be out of warranty and that is how they get away with that, some do not even cover rust in the warranty.. All the Resin pools I have seen have a lifetime warranty, but who know exactly what that covers and I have not looked them up... :)

Sorry about that.. If UV would kill it they would never be able to sell it because it would fail and break.. Imagine them getting sued to death if that happened and would be the end of all the companies selling them and almost all companies are selling them now... :)
