Thanks for the feedback. Getting some liner quotes this week.

We think this liner was around 5-7 years old when we bought the house 3 years ago - so this is probably around season 8-10 or so for it. I decided to open the pool myself this year, and I found a very unpleasant surprise. There's a 24" wide tear just below where the liner meets the coping. I...

No, thank you! :paddle:

Thank you very much for your help. :cheers: I was able to confirm dimensions on the faceplate. The new one is slightly smaller, but I can see where the old one sat - and it aligns precisely with the measurements given for the standard plate in the diagram you linked. I've gone ahead &...

PoolStored to the rescue once again! Thanks so much for the info. We did have a leak issue initially upon buying this place, so you might be onto something. Losing ~1/2" per day if not a little more. That problem mysteriously went away last year after having a heat pump & new light installed...

Thanks a lot for this information. I didn't realize pucks in the skimmer was a bad thing! I also hadn't thought to remove the ladder and clean inside but will absolutely do this. Appreciate you sharing the count of gallons in your SLAM too. I meant to ask this directly but forgot. I think...

Hi, everyone. We opened our 18x36 IG Vinyl pool in the middle of last month. It was a swampy mess! I think it was so bad in part because the winter was very mild, but I made it worse by closing early and allowing leaves to sit on the cover long enough to weight it down into the water...

Hello, everyone, from Virginia. Long time reader/lurker and first time poster, as our mild winter has thrown me for a loop with algae problems. This is my third season with my 18'x36' in ground vinyl pool and only my second opening. Looking forward to engaging more directly with the community...
