Thanks for the response can you please hyperlink the slam article? I assume you are saying i need to continue to add (increase) chlorine to get the level up to 16 with a cya of 40 ppm? How do i calculate how much more chlorine to add?? Thanks for the help.

Thank you for all the responses! I have performed the SLAM process and lowered the PH Level. Pool algae is mostly gone as i have had pump running for last couple of days full time. I tested the water this morning and below are my numbers. Please let me know where to go from this point? I still...

Correction CYA=40ppm

Have an inground saltwater pool. I have used a pool service company since i have owned my home, but with COVID have had to start taking care of it myself. If anyone could help steer me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it. Saltwater Inground Pool approx 17,500 gallons Pool is...

Thank you for that response. Yes, i agree that all you said makes sense. I have one skimmer, 2 jets, and a drain. Any advice on figuring out where the leak may be?

I have an inground pool with vinyl liner. Pool slowly leaks water down to a point just below the skimmer. Would this most likely indicate that the leak is located somewhere in or around the skimmer? I have put putty in pretty much every place around skimmer that i thought the leak may be. Even...

Thanks much! It's spongy when you walk on he bottom. Theres one crater in the shallow end that small (size of grapefruit) that needs to be repaired but other than that i don't see any other damage. However, i am very aware that just because i cannot see any damage DOES NOT mean that there's not...

Thanks to all of you for the advice. I greatly appreciate it. I have shopped around liner and installation prices from everywhere i could find within an hour or so from my home. It seems like a decent liner can be purchased for around $1,000. The least expensive quote I've got (for liner and...

Hi All, Complete newbie here.....any advice would be VERY much appreciated. I recently took over my pool maintenance needs, as opposed to having my local pool store handle everything for the last 4+ years. I have a 16x32 inground pool with a Hayward Aqua Plus system, paired with a Hayward T-15...

Hi All, I have a 16x32 inground pool and am just now starting to maintain it myself, as opposed to having my local pool store handle. I purchased the Taylor K-2006 kit and performed my first test yesterday. Everything went well and i had no issues until I did the CYA test. Added pool water to...

Thanks to both of you for the advice. I think after doing some research and asking questions it's best to leave the liner installation to a professional. I reached out to a pool contractor who lives about 45 minutes away and he provided me a quote range of $4500 (Liner, Installation, and Minor...

Thanks for all that info. It gives me a better idea of pricing and questions to ask beforehand. I also had my local pool store give me a quote on adding steps (in addition to replacing liner) to the pool when i purchased the home a few years back. I was very surprised at how expensive that would...

Thank you for the response. Yes, all the quotes seemed very high to me. The quote price included the liner and installation only. Repair work, wall foam, and anything else needed is billed in addition. Quote seems high to me given the simple structure of the pool. Which is why i am considering...

Hi All, I'm a complete newbie here, came across TFP while researching how difficult it would be to replace an in-ground pool liner myself. Any advice or opinions would be very much appreciated. I recently purchased a home with a 16x32 pool. The liner is approaching the end of it's life and will...
