Hey poolers, About to order Azek Vintage decking and wondered if anybody could let me know how bad the shrinkage is on this. I know all pvc/composite will shrink/expand but I'm thinking of picture framing the outside and didn't want 3/4 inch gaps around the edges. Another question would be if...

It's 9 years at least. I can see a long tear in it. Is there a limit on the length that's 'patchable' and is it covered under home owners insurance? (long shot)

Found it :( whacking great rip in the liner...

Hey All, Pulled the auto cover back to see the water level line midway up the skimmer. I have not been in this house for two seasons now so was worried that winterizing from 2014/15 was no longer 'solid'. Had filter running over night after performing a SLAM process and I've woken up this...

Hello all, Haven't posted for a long time but I wanted to ask any advice on my situation. I lost my home for several months to my ex and the pool was winterized from October 2014 (in Colorado). I has remained closed all this time and there is a window now I may be able to get the automatic...

Hey all, Just wanted to thank everyone on this site for the information given and amazing support. I was just reading through the 'convincing people to change' thread and remember what it was like trying to explain to the missue that BBB was the way to go. This is year 5 now of me owning a pool...

Thanks all - Love this site so much :D Here's to a successful opening

Thanks Jason....appreciate it. Where are most people getting their salt from?

Can somebody confirm if there are issues doing this in regards to any corrosion on the heater/steps etc. I use the same BBB method and want to make the water softer but pool stores tell me if I was to have a dedicated SWG, I would need an anode or something to ensure to keep corrosion at a...

Jule - from the little experience I have on water chemistry, your pool looks exactly as mine did when I converted so visibly, it seems you are on the right path from my side....

It's done then...team BBB for the win.

That was what I was trying to get at in my rambling post. I actually don't mind paying a little more for stuff to have a good relationship with folks that I WILL need in the future.. I think it's sad and the lads that work there should be on my side and looking at the larger picture that I will...

HAHAHAHA "Yes, the BBBB method."

Been a while since I posted on here, but as summer is (well better be) right around the corner, thought I'd start waffling about pool ownership experiences... I decided yesterday to take a nice drive down to my local store to say hello for the summer, ask how business is and get them to make me...

Can't stress enough how important it is for this item. I used test strips back in the Uk when I lived there and had so many problems pre BBB. Now with this all in one sukka - crystal clear and piece of mind. Money well spent in my opinion :goodjob:
