I just noticed what looks like burn marks on the floor of my pool (vinyl liner). I'm pretty sure they weren't there this morning.When I brush them, nothing happens. I turned on a Hayward chlorinator this morning with pucks (I usually don't use but wanted to add some CYA). I turned it off now...

I picked up JB Water Weld which had mixed reviews, but it worked really well as a temp fix. I also replaced the pump lid. When I had the backwash issue, I heard water coming back from my Hayward chlorinator. I likely need a new check valve for that but I turned that off also. Not sure what...

I started with the dry stabilizer and attached a pic of my makeshift contraption. It was bugging me that it was cloudy because even though my CYA was low, in the past that just depleted my chlorine fast but the pool was balanced a few days after opening. And when I had low PH in the past, it...
