I recently purchased off FB Market lightly used pool fence panels. Now I need to order the concrete inserts. I was under the impression they were Protect-A-Child which is fiberglass and a unique “I-beam” pole. These are clearly not that- they seem study but are aluminum with a “y” post. Can...

I am replacing my vinyl liner and ordering all new gaskets and face plates. Although not a part of the liner, the black rubber gaskets on my fiberglass pool stairs always run black residue, as they are deteriorating. I made the mistake of not knowing how the SP1023 returns are installed. It...

I didn't have great before pictures. The pic above shows some spots where the vermiculite lost all bond, and you could just sweep it out. Those 1 ft shades areas are a solid 1-1.5in deep. The shallow end had a lot of lumps you could feel and see.

One day last week I cleaned my pool with the brush and I must have created a tear because the next morning, the pool was 50% down. I ran out assuming my pool cleaner had jumped out of the pool or something, but saw a 6" tear in the bottom corner on the shallow end. I assume that the brush tore...
