Yes. My pump is running as I was renovating my whole pool. So I added the salt and unfortunately a couple days later the water is testing with salt in it. I was going to backfill and winterize this weekend but I am just going to hold off on backfilling around the step. I will deal with it next...

I haven’t put any chemicals in it yet this year as the liner was just changed out. I am going to go to the store and pick up salt and put in the pool. I am going to pump the water out of the hole and then wait a couple of days and test both waters for sale. This was a good idea I didn’t think...

You da man!

Yes, I need to cross over two pieces of rigid pvc pipes. You’re saying that that happens all the time?

Thanks for your help on this one. I was looking all over the place for a solution to this.

Hi. Just found this post and was wondering if you found an answer for this? I have a steel wall pool with aluminum liner track and I am looking for a solution to bond the liner track.
