    repair and rebuild

    Well that is not an option in any way shape or form. So what would i need to do just to repair it, and go back to using a liner?

    repair and rebuild

    Well honestly have no idea what pool prices are doing. what would be a really rough estimate for something like that. also why would it need all that, new plumbing and a rebar cage?

    Been a long time since I was on this forum, Hope I am putting this in the right spot. Anyway, We have a 16x32, 24000 gallon inground pool, from the 70s. We have replaced the liner several times in the past years. It has been without a liner for 3 years. We are finally getting around to it...

    11 jugs of bleah?! Is this right???

    I've cut the pool store umbilical. can't say I'm on my hind legs yet by any means. Testing with the TF100 kit from here. The water is an opaque (can't see bottom or sides. Can make out the first step down) dark olive green largely free of debris. Been like this since the (last) hurricane. I...

    11 jugs of bleah?! Is this right???

    Wrong value(gigo!)! Enter correct value & use less bleach. Yeah! I can go with that! :goodjob: Thanks! :handshake: I have read & re-read that article. Printed it out and keep it handy. I guess my reading comprehension ain't what it once was. One thing though. Both you and...

    11 jugs of bleah?! Is this right???

    "However, with 9 ppm free chlorine and 0 ppm combined chlorine, why do you want to shock? These two indicate the water's fine." The water is an opaque green and frogs are swimming in it. I would like to clear the wild life before closing it for the winter. I don't no what I'm doing...

    shelf life of muriatic acid?

    Fellows, I am gloriously confused! But Be that as it may, I have lots of acid, lots of chlorine, and I haven't started yet. I intend to start in the morning. So unless I hear otherwise, I reckon to start by lowering the Ph, then dumping copious amounts of chlorine into the pool. I'm off to try...

    pool cover- how many pillows do I need?

    if you have stairs that extend past the pool walls or Roman ends make sure the cover is large enough to cover them I've seen a LOT of pool owners buy a cover for a 16 X 32 pool but not take the stairs or longer ends into account so end up with a cover that doesn't cover the stairs. You know...

    shelf life of muriatic acid?

    I posted a question about my frog pond--er pool-- here... scummy-frog-pond-halp-pleeze-t9753.html. The info I got suggested I needed to get the one under control to maximise the effectiveness of my chlorine (dollar store 6% variety)

    pool cover- how many pillows do I need?

    Air filled??? I think I'm even more ignorant than I thought I was. :shock: I was thinking of those things that lay on top of the liner filled, I thought, with water. Would somebody please tell me what I'm talking about??? :hammer:
