Thank you! I wasn’t able to try to remove them before the winter cover went on today (i am in Canada) so hoping the tips here will still work in the spring.

Newly installed vinyl liner inground pool. Concrete pool deck poured a month ago. Many mature trees on property. I have been doing all I can to keep concrete clean until closing for winter. Yesterday PB came to replace damaged liner (nightmare install story) after rainy morning and since it’s...

Thank you. The pH was already definitely my concern (to ensure no liner issues develop) but I was told not to worry about it. I will raise it yet again… They did recently come back to now say they will provide and add a “chemical closing kit”. Does that typically include balancing pH?

After a nightmare new inground pool installation this August we still have never swam in our pool. Next week the PB is coming to replace pump (first one defective) and install brand new liner at his cost (initial one was damaged in all four corners due to poor install). PB plans to close the...

Appreciate replies. Ajw: I was thinking of asking to expand warranty to include ANY issues with liner means full repair or change covered. Justified by fact that loss of confidence in installation and fear issues will arise that aren’t yet obvious (ex. Wore shoes during install). reggie: no...

I am looking for advice on negotiating compensation for installations issues that have come up during our build. Long story short: new inground pool being installed, all four corners of the vinyl liner were damaged during install (all forced and have holes near the bead). Negotiated options and...
