So, as it was around 60ish yesterday, I went around to check the plumbing and put the unions back together and started filling the pool a bit. Not long into this, I noticed standing water and cracked pvc. Now, I am in northwest PA where our ground freeze line is 4ft. I cannot bury pvc that low...

Wow, you guys are fast! And nice spotting with that diagram, it looks like piece #5 is the right piece. All I can see is the top piece, I haven't dropped the water line back down to take it apart as it's too cold (low 40's). Besides, the replacement part from the links are $20 and $36. The...

So over the weekend we decided to fill the pool again so we could start moving the water around, get the chemicals in, and get our robot started. We've had a couple days in the 60's with sun, and now it's back down in the low 40's. I did not close the valves at all over winter, kept them open...

If your signature is right that's it a 21' pool, I have an extra 21' x 52" j-hook liner, brand new in box, never opened, garage stored. I originally ordered a 21' pool but that wasn't available and went bigger for a 24' pool so my original liner wasn't usable! I don't know if it's unibead, all...

The first image is from about 5 days ago, the 2nd and 3rd images are from this morning. The image from 5 days ago you couldn't see anything under the surface of the water. The images from this morning already show a huge difference. It's got a ways to go still, but things can be seen on the...

The water has been cloudy the past week. It's not really that dirty (leaves/dirt/etc) and we have a robot that cleans the bottom of the pool every day. The water is not so bad it deters people from getting in it, it's just that you can't see much beyond the surface. It's not green, just cloudy...

Woah, water temps around 77ish today. So refreshing. Current test results: Hardness - 300 FC - 4 PH - 7.4 Alkalinity - 90 CYA - 40 I run my pump/filter on low from 9am - 6pm everyday. The trees drop so much debris, small little white debris right now. We keep the solar cover on unless we swim...

I have an extra 21' x 52" j-hook liner, brand new in box, never opened, if anyone is looking for one. We originally had this because we thought we would be getting a 21' pool but we ended up getting a 24' pool. Anyone interested please get a hold of me.

I have a TF100 on order, but in the meantime my cousin gave me some "strips" that can test for chlorine and cya as he doesn't use them anymore. I know it's not ideal, but it might at least give an idea of levels until the kit arrives. BTW, is there a sub-forum for selling stuff? I have an extra...
