Intex May still sell the liner only. Around my area you can pick up a whole intex used for few hundred or less Intex patches have the thicker reinforced vinyl and may work better

This evening I did my weekly testing and have made progress getting the PH down. 6.5-FC 1-CC 70-CYA 320-TA 8.2+ PH Added 1 gallon of MA and waited 45 min 7.2 PH Any helpful hints to improve things
