So, in my efforts to replace my liner, the walls have come out of the tracks and collapsed in half of my pool. I’m worried that this pool is now destroyed. Before I try to get the walls back in the track and standing again, are there any tips I need to know. 3 of the support poles have also come...

I’m having a rough time getting my liner centered. No matter what I do, there’s always one area pulling tight.

I tried to install 25x15 oval liner, but didn’t have it clocked correctly. Filling it, the wall where the liner was too tight started to collapse. I was hoping the liner would stretch, but collapse occurred first. I removed liner and am preparing sand again. For my next attempt, it is ok if I...

Thanks!

Thank you. So if I get a standard overlap, I can use what I have now and I’ll be good, right? Do I need coping strips in addition to those metal pieces shown? The current liner just has the metal pieces and nothing else, but it’s not an overlap style liner. I know these are probably terrible...

Not an overlap. Is this what’s known as “beaded”? It seems to hug just over the wall and the piece sort of clamps down in It. It’s a 12x24 and I’m doing it myself. Just want to make sure I order the right one. Also, while taking everything apart, I’ve run into endless rusted and stripped...

OK, thanks guys. Appreciate the responses.

Hi guys, I have a Hayward Perflex EC40 D.E. above ground filter. Last year I used it with no problems along with a 3/4 HP pump. This year, so far, the water stops flowing through the filter after about 1-2 hours. If I shut the pump off and use the lever to shake off the DE, then restart the...

I'm having trouble buying bleach here in NJ. When stores do have bleach, they are limiting sales to one per customer. I understand the rationale, but this is not great for my pool strategy. I've temporarily resorted to using shock and 3" chlorine pucks. First world problems, I know... Stay...

Look to be about 120 using that method. Thanks.

Ah...thanks. I didn't know about that method. I'll try it. :)

After 3 years of blaming my neighbor's tree for my cloudy/green/crappy pool, I finally got the test kit I've read about for the past year. Why I didn't do this sooner I have no idea. Turns out, my Cya level is about 100, maybe a little more! Jeesh! The kids use the pool a decent amount and my...

OK, thanks Maddie
