Thats what i was hoping to hear lol. Its so much more relaxing not having to deal with the awful tarp material and water tubes. Id be out checking and tinkering all the time with the old setup. Thanks for the response bmore :)

Hello all. We closed our pool this year with a merlin solid safety cover with pump. This will be our first winter with this on lol. My only question is, should the center of the cover be sagging or have a shallow low spot? Im assuming its either natural or done to channel the water to the...

Ive been a pool owner since last march. Been in poolw my whole life from an infant to swimming on my high school team but as far as owning one just over a year lol.

Id like to but as in most cases when I try stuff myself I make it much worse lol.

Ive got about 2 more hrs to go until shes full. Gonna finish it tomorrow. Waiting to here back from the store to set something up. Is it possible to reset a liner with it full and fully up and running?

Not far at all lol. Im in york :). Just outside of Dover.

Erinkline im not sure yet. We have never had a winter and spring quite like this. Except in 1993 when we got 28" of snow dumped on us but I was only 10 lol. Ive definately considered it but dont know what would be involved as far as cost.

Im waiting to hear back from the contractor that did all the work in 2011. I keep getting the run around so I may have to go to the local pool store amd see whats up. There actually pretty decent but I still refuse to buy any chems from them. Only whats needed parts wise and etc

I found the paperwork on the guy who did the install on the liner. Me and my wife just bought the house in march of 2013. The liner is only 3 years old so im hoping it wont be an issue it get these out. I also wanted to ask since I stopped the opening process at removing my cover...lol. I...

Hello all. I noticed over winter upon doing a quick check there was a sag right below the shallow end return jet. Didnt think too much of it at the time. But upon taking the cover off yesterday I noticed a star shaped set of small wrinkles in the shallow end bottom. Needless to say I was...

Thanks for the replies :). Well the flex section across the concrete is only temporary until august. Id prolly wait until all the concrete work is done and my return lines are replaced.

I definately go over that. Its right in between 60-70. Sounds weird but id say closer to 60

Fill to 10 ml line for .5 ppm. Add 2 scoops of dpd powder. Add 0871 drop wise until clear. Multiply number by .5 Then i add 5 drops of R-0003 then add 0871 again until clear and multiply number by .5. Just tested right before the rain started 10 mins ago and im at 16ppm fc and .5 cc. I am...

Ok im still stumped lol. I added 2 gallons of 12.5 liquid chlorine, waited an hour and it went from .5 fc to 3. CC was 2. So i added 2 lbs cal hypo about 2 hrs later and tested an hour after FC was 5, CC was 1.5. Came home at 5:00 and tested it was FC .5 and CC .5. Im just not sure why im...

I stumbled across the liquidator shorty after joining this very informative site :). I have been calling my local pool places all day and all of them but one get snippy with me when i mentioned liquid chlorine. None of them even heard of the product. The reason i called around was to see if...
