Structurally they seem sound. There is a bit of flex around the top where they meet the concrete if you step on that top lip. I don't really notice any spots that feel hollow or unsupported. Its difficult to tell the rate at which the water is lost because I'm not watching it as closely when...

Here are the pics. The water level is a bit higher than it was because I ran the hose in it when I found the water so low. Initially I wanted to get it back up to support the pool cover, but decided to shut it off and try to repair the leak before bringing the water level all the way up. It was...

Thanks for the response @jimmythegreek . Do you have any experience using any of Anderson Manufacturing's products, specifically the Flexible sealer or the pool glue that I listed above? I was considering trying one of these products and running it along the entire length of the flange and...

Sure, at work right now but I can pull the cover back tomorrow and snap a few shots.

I've got a persistent leak around my in wall stairs. During the colder months when my pool is winterized, my water level drops to the lower, horizontal flange of my stairs. At that point, it stops leaking so I know that the leak is at that level. The only break in the liner at this level is...

Where in Maryland are you located? Near Southeastern PA/Delaware? I had in inground with vinyl liner installed 3 years ago for $24K. My pool builder was very reliable. I do have one issue with the pool. I've got a pin hole leak somewhere and it has leaked since installation. I lose a few...

doesn't sound like you are testing properly. you should be swirling in between drops on the CH test. as far as your CYA goes, you will need to get some in the water. If you are chlorinating with trichlor, eventually the CYA levels will come up but you should really get some CYA into the water...

I use 5 gallon jugs to store my chlorine and I use one of these. Hand Siphon Amazon has them as well - Pump I just pump out whatever I need into a 1 qt measuring cup and then pour it into my bucket or right into my pool. Just take the siphon to your pool with you and pump some water through...

Just to be certain, are you following the Chlorine/CYA chart (link in my signature)? If your FC was 10 and CYA is 50, your SLAM level is 20. With a 12,000 gallon pool and 8.3% bleach, you should have added 1 gallon, 1 quart and 2 cups to be exact (according to PoolMath).

Peanuts, I'm no expert on pool maintenance. I found this forum a few years ago when I had my pool built because I had never cared for a pool before and I wanted to be able to care for the pool I invested so much money into. After reading through pool school several times, browsing countless...

Tony, I updated my signature with all the links you will need to start you off in the right direction.
