What brand does Lowes carry?

Its a rubber or vinyl type material and it goes all the way around the pool. It's almost like they cut it too short. It fits on the metal sheeting between the sidewalk and pool. The metal sheeting appears to be under the plaster or whatever that material is that lines the pool.

I just bought some at HD and did curbside pickup... it was manufactured 14 months ago... don't know what strength it will come out too.

Does anyone know where I can find this rubber coping or gasket or whatever it is called. Im not ready to replace with tile yet.

True that! Its in their outside aisles.

Smell was terrible - tons of frogs and surprisingly earthworms. The sand filter was even worse - anyway its all clean now and my new AquaBot "SpongeBob" is working as I type cleaning up todays leaf debris. Ill post my test results below.

Great idea!
