Not scented, splashless, or outdoor. It only says it’s for cleaning mold and mildew. Wal-mart great value brand

My husband purchased the bleach this week and bought the usual 6% but he saw another that was a dollar less and also 6%. The cheaper one said it was for cleaning mold and mildew. Would there be a problem to start using that one to save $$$? We have an 11800 gal. swcg vinyl pool and only use...

I really don't know how to explain this so I've posted a photo. The top of the liner is supposed to stay behind the track above it. Here you can see an approx. 4 inch section that has slipped out of its track. If I press it, it will go near to where it should be but not stay. It's really...

Thanks!:goodpost: from :queen:MelbaJr (no genius emoji so now I'm queen):D Sorry, I must be really tired to be so loopy right now:gone:

Duh, lol! Ah well, learn something new every time I'm on TFP;) Three summers & I'm still such a nube. Then again, I'm a pool genius compared to the rest of this house. Thanks again for your help!

OP = overfilled pool? I know, lame, just checking.

Thank you expert! I feel a bit better now. Can you tell me what you mean by OP? I'm not positive about the water table this house is built on a bluff. The 'back 40' (lol) drops fast. Not suitable for building on but good for hunting.

I hope not! ANYONE?! HELP?! I'm going to backwash...

Yeah, I usually set a timer on my phone. Couldn't find my phone tho... :brickwall: Just another ordinary day,LOL. I've never even heard of a hose timer before, I'll look for it next time I'm at Lowes. Thx! - - - Updated - - - Thanks to all who responded! Such a great help, I <3 TFP!

I was adding water to my pool due to normal evaporation but I forgot about it and overfilled it, again.:oops: I know I need to backwash as I always have but what a waste of water! What are the consequences of having too much water in the pool? I ask because I have a pond that I'm in the process...

Thank you! ? Melba Jr

Thanks to all for that great info!! :angel: :angel: :angel: Y'all are angels! I'm understanding the chlorine/cya chart now. Before I was doing what it said but confused as to why. So thank you again! KNOWLEDGE IS POWER & TFP GIVES POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!!:whoot: :lovetfp::party:

On the SWG chart the asterisk at CYA of 60 says 'Not recommended' has me confused :?. To me it seems that if it is not recommended at 60 because it's too high then why are 70 and 80 okay? Also, why are there no listings for lower CYA levels. I'm sure some of you are laughing :lol: right now...

It keeps flowing. I'll have to see about shut off valves. How can I tell if I have an air purge valve? I don't think I do. Yes I'm still a newb;)
