How do you patch the bead portion of the liner? Would putting a bead lock help prevent the hole from getting further pressure?

Hi guys, Got a little overzealous when trying to pop my liner back into the track. I was rushing and poked a small hole in the bead section of the liner. I’ve attached a picture. Is this hole going to get bigger and spread? What is my recourse? Will a bead lock across this section help? thanks!

So I ended up filling the pool up. And realized that in the shallow end there were folds that had formed as it had emptied in that side. There is a leak (losing about 2 inches a night) and we have a diver coming to find the leak/fix. Is there anything I should do about the 2-3 long folds in the...

If there is a leak, it has to be in the liner right? since the water level was below the skimmer line at closing and it was also plugged up.

Haha thanks for the advice.. it's "centimeters btw". Weird, but we have both inches/cm on our rulers! 4 inches makes sense.

Hi, I'm based in Ontario, Canada. Today the company we hired came to open the pool; but they literally just took off the cover and left a note saying there was a huge leak in the pool. I've posted a picture; but could it be purely due to evaporation? I called the store and they said to fill up...

Hi, Thanks for the reply. It is: https://hayward-pool-assets.com/assets/documents/pools/pdf/manuals/MaxFlo-IS2800X5.pdf?fromCDN=true Contrary to my signature, it's a single speed pump. The pump should be about 10 years old (already there when I moved in 3 years ago). Model#: SP2807X10W...

Hi, I've been running my pump almost 24/7 over the last few weeks (lots of use, higher temperatures). On Sunday, I noticed a slight burning smell and realized that the pump was really hot. I turned it off overnight and restarted it again the next day. After about 30 minutes, it gets hot again...

Hi Guys! I was getting readings of 80-100 throughout the season from my pool store. And regular test strips indicated TA of around 80 (so no where near the high end of the spectrum). But after using the TF-100 kit, it took 25 drops of R-0009 to turn the water to a light pink (from green). Is...

Thanks for the heads up. Will get someone in to take a look at it. Unfortunately there aren't any error codes; it's an older model (my guess is over 10 years old). https://www.mypool.com/Help-Files/Jandy-LG-Heaters.pdf

Hi All, I have an old Jandy Lite 2 Heater. Had a tech come in to start it up this year; the ignition switch is broken, so he had to manually light it. The problem is that the pilot light went out again. I tried to relight it myself, but wasn't sure where to stick the lighter while holding down...

I’m in Toronto, Ontario

Okay. Thanks! I will deal with it after the rain comes....not even sure it'll be that much.
