I may have brought this upon myself.......I bought some Borderlines, a product that freshens the top of the liner. I got the 9" high version. I drained the pool about 12-14" and I started at the edge of the steps.......I loosened the top 5 screws so I could tuck the Borderlines under the plastic...

We have an AquaBot Turbo T2......we call it.............wait for it.................. Robby......not too original but we talk as though he is a person. "You get Robby in the pool yet?" "Yep, Robby started about 8 am" :party: :party:

While researching vinyl repair options I stumbled upon this product and I am curious if any member has tried this and was a positive outcome. To me it looks perfect to extend the life of the liner 2-3 years while I properly capitalize the project. BEFORE: AFTER:

Thanks, thats what I'll do

Hello all..... I have received a lot of great info and now I need some more. I just noticed a moon-shaped tear in the liner in one of the corners. The tear is about 3" long and about 1/5" wide at its widest. I am thinking just duct tape, but Im looking for a more aesthetically pleasing...

OK, we have decided that we will get a 2 speed pump...I have a call into Pool and Spa warehouse and hopfully Paul will do me as right on a pump as he did on a robot

Hey All...longtime no posts.....but My Hayward 1.5 hp single speed pump bit the big one... Do I: get a new single speed get a 2 speed or get a variable speed Thoughts on which way to go!!!

I really appreciate the assistance on this. How do I add CYA so I dont overshoot............sounds reasonable....when you start to add it how long does it take to register....

OK, so is there any way to make the test kit cya test to a finer degree? It held 11ppm over night and will see what it does during the day today....supposed to be overcast and 80's

I got home at 6p and check the clorine........3.5 fc and .5 cc 4ppm TC. It held that all day........any thoughts?

If I get home tonight and there is still clorine......is it safe to assume that there is some cya maybe. I know it held at 4ppm overnight.......does night time matter??

with zero CYA....its gonna be a few days until I get the stabilizer... I bought bleace...but did I get enough?? Thanks guys........ :party: :party: :party:

OK, update on the war.....I can see a dime in the deep end (very clear) Latest numbers FC 7 CC 1 (I have never had CC's before------although I saw one at the pool store The new VW CC Ph 8 TA 120 CYA 0 tested it last night 2X and once this morning I originally had a CYA of appx 90...

I may be assuming too much by the math, but my cya was about 90...so I dumped appx 6700 gal ( 896 cubic feet) of water and it shoud have dropped it appx 20 points to 70......shocked at 15ppm until zero loss overnight. Then I was maintaining appx 10ppm and when I check it again at the end of the...

I decided to use a tactic that you may have heard of.......Surge, I surged the chlorine to 20ppm and checked hourly yesterday and it was doing pretty well.....it held the Algae armies at bay overnight. Now as part of my exit startegy: (Ive modeled this plan on our position in Korea) The war is...
