My siding appears to be pvc(or something not wood). It is held together with strips of osb on each section. Some of it has gotten rotten and some the glue has detached from the siding. I plan on repairing the frame and repainting the siding. My first question is if I should do framing strips...

I have concerns about keeping the cover tight. That’s a lot of pressure on the pool frame and without 1/3 of the water it’s not near as strong. I used 2x6’s screwed to each other around the perimeter, that worked wore the tarp hard. The 2x6’s were installed during the wind blowing, was an idea...

Tried that with like a years worth. They eventually flip over the side. 30 mile an hour winds with no wind break are rough.

Forgot to mention, I did that. It had no change. I think if I were to do it again it would need wrapped all the way to the bottom.

You would think that but that’s not how that works. Water on water is effectively one body. If there’s a tarp in between you can raise the tarp up on one side, this causes the water on the tarp to go to the other side and the water under the tarp to shift towards the side you’re raising. I’m...

Every year I struggle with the winter cover. Not the installation but the winds afterwards. I live in the country with fields all around. Filling with water above the cover doesnt work as the water will shift towards the direction of wind and the cover will still raise on the other side. It’s...

Thank you! That should really cut down on the chlorine use!

So my cover came off my above ground pool through winter due to high winds. Instead of fighting it I just left it. I opened the pool and filled it the rest of the way up then started slamming. I have 30CYA so I am doing 12 ppm. Occasionally adjusting ph down to 7 as it rises. I've got it to...

Keep in mind 7.2-7.8 is all a good working range.

Also what’s your ta? you might need to shock the bromine by raising it above 10ppm. Bromine always seems to smell a little bit but if in doubt dump in bleach or the dichlor to get it up to 10 and let it run down on its own.

I think you generally want two 2 hours filter cycles a day. How low is your ph going?

I may be wrong but I feel like your liner is like a foot too big. Is it possible you put the top rails of the pool in the wrong holes in the plate and it is pushing the top of the pool in? Are you sure it’s sitting flat along the sides around the rest of the pool?

Just an idea what if you ran it dry, will it still shut off? My thought is what if the impeller is wrong and WAY oversized.

Yep keep on it. It will clear up quick.

Yeah you will have that. The cloudyness is organics that haven’t died. Keep your bromine up and it will go away. Just like a pool you just need to keep it up for a while. Its not so much about shocking ad providing constant sanitizer. The bromine will burn out most detergents but not all the...
