This forum has been a great place for me as I have learned a lot and saved a lot of money! On that note I want to share a recent success story. This year I had to replace my inground pool liner. I live on a lake and I have previously filled my pool with lake water. In years previous I have...

thanks this is perfect!

I am following you now! Basically I need to square up the current coping and then mortar on the remodeling coping. Can this cutting wheel work be completed with the liner in the pool or would you suggest doing so prior to changing the liner?

Thanks for the replies. I am not following you when say cut off the overhang, are you referring to the aluminum coping filled with concrete? Does this mean I do not have to replace the liner track? I have seen the remodeling coping, I didnt think it was able to go over the bull nose rounded...

Hi all, I have a 18 x 36 inground pool in Massachusetts that was installed in the 80s. Over the decades the deck hasn't moved but it does has a few small cracks, nothing substantial. The coping is in worse shape (cracking) but still robust. The liner needs to be replaced in the spring and...

Gotcha. I didnt notice that this pump does not come with an AUX out. I will add a relay from the pump to the power source for the SWCG.

First off I want to thank this forum, and contributing members, as I have been a pool owner for 5 years now and this site has helped me learn the ropes. Thus far, I have been maintaining my pool using 12.5% LC, baking soda, borax, and CYA for the past 5 summers. My pool liner needs to be...

Yes, the material is stuck on really well. I have not been able to remove any material and capture it for testing.

I will do just that. I will post an update in a couple weeks.

Yes the white material is still present and stuck to the liner floor. A minimal amount has been removed via vacuuming/brushing but nothing substantial. The little bit that has been removed was either dissolved or vacuumed out. Again this was a very insignificant amount. I even tried to...

Ohh that does not sound good.... No chemicals are left over. Anything I can do to test if it is di-chlor? Can I fix it if it is?

The liner is covered with a white material, it does not appear faded. The lake is roughly 40 ft lower then the pool and there is no main drain. This white residue was not present in Sept, then the pool was closed by the previous owner. We found the material present upon opening the pool this...

Sorry for the delay. The SLAM went well and the water is now crystal clear! Everything went as planned, thanks for all the help. I have lowered the ph to 7.2 but the white material is not budging from the walls, is there anything else I can do?

My SLAM has been completed and the water looks amazing. The white residue is not moving. I have lowered the pH to 7.2. Any idea when I may see an improvement?
