Looks good!

Happy to hear the news, water looks better in each pic you've posted! I was nervous about that tear and didn't want to scare you, but I was hoping you guys were tending to it ASAP. I'm going to leave the specifics about your pump/valve/chem questions to the pros on here. I'm in a completely...

Hey OP, good job with how things keep coming with your pool. I keep checking up on your thread and feel bad now that I see the liner:( I came home to the same type of tear in the liner earlier in the season, but my pool had lost about 5,000 gallons of water by the time I had gotten home from...

Before we had our solar blanket we would use our pool heater on the weekends to bump the water up to the 80's. Over the course of the week with the cold Vermont summer nights (58...

I'm in the same situation, up here in Central VT spring has brought with it lots of pollen. I opened 4 days ago and I'm holding chlorine fine, have a nice blue pool but cloudy in the deep end. I've added DE to my sand filter and now have the skimmer socks in every day and i'm changing them...
