I bought a sump pump, 6.5 hp shop vac and was ready to tackle this job today but we had a real bad storm last night which brought my water level to the roof! Now the liner is in a position where it is easier to tug back in! I can return all this stuff now, thanks yaw! There is water behind...

Thanks for confirming. My pool guy told me about 3 year rule and i see it online here and there. Water is water I guess. I bought the kit sold here, TF-101 I believe? So then the only question is what is the best method to fix the vinyl liner? I was going to boil water, throw it on the...

Lastly, based off my theory of constantly having to refill pool due to evaporation throughout the year and vacuuming, is it really necessary to still follow the 3 year rule? If my pool was out of the sun and the water never replaced, I can imagine that needing to be changed but mine is directly...

Also, can a sump pump be rented?

Appreciate the fast response. So try to fix vinyl in its current water level (right below the skimmer)?

I just opened my pool and seen part of my vinyl lining is sagging. Also, I am starting my 3rd year and was thinking it would be a good time to drain pool which would also make fixing vinyl easier. I am able to drain from spa and even skimmer but not the main drain. it never primes. The water...

Thanks for confirming.

Looking good man. I havent opened mine up here in Georgia yet but this thread helps plenty. I was going to get the shock for the first attempt to attack but do you guys think its better to do liquid chlorine? I would always use liquid chlorine throughout the year (or until the end when stores...

I would check out the ones in Home Depot/Lowes near me even when Walmart was in abundance and they were always super old. Even the boxes they came in were super dusty like they were sitting for months prior. I gave in and picked up 4 pack from local pool store yesterday. Slightly higher price...

Everyone must have seen this because I cant find Walmart Chlorine anywhere. Been looking the past few weeks and ended up using the powdered stuff which has worked but I worry long term if I keep using. Going to break down and get from local shop where they have 4 pack for $24 @ 12%. Not as...

I just went to Lowes and seen Kemtek 10% for 3.86, slightly more than walmart and hella old packages. Could barely read the bottles. 2017 and dusty packages. Ran to walmart and they just got some new ones in 2018 074. 3.64 as well. Walmart winning but still want to compare with a local pool...

Keeps getting stuck though. But definitely progress.

This thing moves! I seen it was stuck and found out some old goggles were stuck in the hole. Dropped it down and it started speeding up the pool. It can definitely climb up.

For some reason it was getting stuck near main drain. I dont think it was closed but its moving descently. The vinyl floor has some wrinkles in some places especially on the low end. I had to help it a little. Also, there is a major slope between shallow and deep end. I'm worried it will...

I took video and everything. Now its finally working! I hooked hose directly to the hole and that vacuum is moving. There was a point where it was like in the middle of the air lol like it took a corner too fast but its moving. I'm still in shock! I recall 3 different settings on the side...
