    I used the shock and flock because I knew of nothing else at the time. Im a new pool owner, but I have "old school" family, who still call it the BBB method and told me to look into it. Which is why I am here. Like I said, I'm new to all of this so rather than stumble around and screw up what I...

    Suggestions on how to fix bowing oval pool...

Things looked great until it was completely filled, but now the sides are bowing out bad and the pressure plates under the pool have lifted.
