    Water features & filters

    Thanks PoolGate for the reply. I have a sand filter that everything runs through before. Do you think that would be fine or is there a chance of small sand particles leaving the filter and getting stuck in the water feature?

    Where am I going wrong.....algae outbreak

    Needing help....algae or dirt in pool?

    Thanks for the quick reply. I'm guess vacuuming, brushing and maintaining the shock level is the only thing I can do until to clears up. I'm about to go to work would you recommend that I run my robotic cleaner in the pool while I'm gone?

    Advice needed - Wrinkle in liner.

    Hey everyone, I need your advice. To make a long story short I ended up getting water behind my liner and it started to float. I used my dry well to pump out the water, now my liner has a few wrinkles in it. Can I get them out manually or does my liner need to be reset? Your advice would be...
