But then how do I winterize or put the eyeball in?

This is the adapter and Schmear they sold me.

I just changed my pool liner and am refilling my pool when I noticed this. A crack in the return adapter. My pool store suggested using Schmear and an adapter to fix it. But having the adapter permanently stick out of the wall isn't ideal(to me at least). So, searching the internet, I found...

A friend of mine just moved into his new house this past weekend. I know, I know, he is using test strips at the moment. The strips are reading nothing(brand new). The owner had been running pucks and my friend added 2 bags of shock. He added about 2 lbs. of pH up and a lb. of baking soda...

I am in the process replacing my inground pool liner. The old liner is out and I need to move some sand around due to washout. It seems that there is some type of hardener in the sand, more than just compaction. Is that a thing? If so, where do I get it? Thanks in advance.

No, I don't. But, I would describe myself as fairly handy though. In my first liner replacement, I did the measurements myself and made some measuring errors that were obvious from the start resulting in some big wrinkles in the liner. Having learned from that, I feel pretty confident in what...

This will be my second time replacing my vinyl liner(2008). So....I think 16 years is great. Problem is, I can't remember where I got it. I know the place was somewhere near Detroit. Looking for suggestions as to brands to look at/avoid. 16 x 32 inground hopper. Thanks in advance.

I have replaced the liner once myself. Then I learned that I had inverted a measurement and created a big wrinkle in my pool. Been there for 10 years now. It will be a custom liner, but none of the sites I have found allow for the variations in the side wall of the deep end. I have found...

Hi, I am in the market to replace the vinyl liner in my inground pool. I have downloaded measuring forms from various sites but my measurements are showing inconsistencies that aren't addressed on the forms. I will include a pic with my measurements. My main concern is the hopper in the deep...

About 3 weeks ago, I was a bit lax with my pool and came home to a green pool. It wasn't to terrible, so I just got it cleaned up and never SLAMMED. Pool looks good/clear. BUT, I keep getting persistent spots of algae in my pool. Especially the south side(shaded). I started a slam on Friday...

Went to out of town softball tournament this weekend. When we left on Friday, all was good. Checked it today and pool was cloudy(you could strain to see the bottom.) Put in a gallon of 10 %. After an hour it barely turned pink. Put in another gallon. After an hour, it was at 2. My CC's...
