Thanks for the quick responses and helpful links, the kids will be thrilled to swim today!

I just got a new liner installed about 2 weeks ago and filled the 35,000 gallon pool with well water that is high with iron/ copper, my pool guy also added some Algicide to the pool as it was filling up. I had leftover chlorine pucks (etraBlue) and put them in the feeder thinking it would help...

I can't find any flexible PVC. I need about 250'. The pool guy I'm having install the liner said poly would work and he likes it better than Schedule 40.

is this Poly Pipe Ok to use? https://www.homedepot.com/p/1-1-2-in-x-100-ft-IPS-100-psi-NSF-Poly-Pipe-X2-150100100/205903478 Is it recommended to use schedule 80 T 's or Y's ? Also when the pipe comes up out of the ground to connect to the equipment, just use Schedule 80 pipes and connectors...

I just pulled back my winter over to find this huge liner rip in the side of the pool. Is this liner salvageable? Can I fix this or does it need to be replaced? Thanks.
