This is a good idea... Thanks!

The pool is not buried! I appreciate the extra advice. I do have waders, and will be going in to get up close and personal with it. I have many nets, a couple manual vacuums, and a shop vac. We'll be gettin it nice and clean. Why would the liner shrink at night? I thought the warm weather is...

Awesome. I feel MUCH more confident about this project. Cheers all!!

Thanks, Newdude! So assuming I drain it out to about 18inches, and then shop vac all of the leaves and gunk out of the bottom, I should be good? When I start filling the water back up, do you suggest I start slamming, or wait for the pool to be full again and the filter running? My pool has a...

Honestly, if I were to do anything it would be buy a new sand filter. It's over five years old at this point. Besides wearing my filter out faster - do I run any risk of my filter exploding or anything? Also - I can't tell what my filter is. All of the labels are sun damaged. We bought the...

This makes me feel better. So in it's current state I could leave it as is?

Hey all. So, my pump died last Wednesday. Ordered a new one and it came on Friday. I am an idiot and know nothing about electricity - old was 110V, new 220V. Electrician came Tuesday and ran a new line, so now the new pump is locked in and ready to go. Everything works great, but after...
