    Groundwater Between Liner and Wall?

    This is far from the house, and the issues occur on the farthest walls away from the house. It is flat, poured concrete, though it does have very deep relief cuts. I am wondering if heavy rain has found its way through these and made its way behind the wall, and ultimately behind the liner. I...

    Groundwater Between Liner and Wall?

    Looking to see if anyone has ever had groundwater getting behind the liner along the wall. I know it is groundwater due to no measurable salinity of the water behind the liner in my SWG vinyl pool. Thanks, Ted

    Best Pool Cleaner for curved side walls

    Found an old picture I took after S300 cleaning. My Blue Diamond doesnt do this, and I need something that will clean like it does (or better).

    Best Pool Cleaner for curved side walls

    When I open it, or with pollen, or if I have been gone for a week or so, I will have some silt on the vinyl. I also have cantilever concrete coping that overhangs the pool, and the salt does tend to bring some of that into the pool. But regardless of how it gets there, the S300 would not...

    Best Pool Cleaner for curved side walls

    I am nearing time to replace my second Blue Diamond pool robot. This has the foam rollers vs the paddle type. Prior to finding my second one, I tried a Dolphin S300, and had a terrible time getting my sides clean. I have a mountain pond-shaped pool with a vinyl liner, with curved soft-pack...

    Longest Life of T15 Cells?

    Thanks for the clarification. That grinds me. I specifically called Hayward for clarification, and was told W within part number was 1 year.. Oh well, $400 out the window due to buying the T-Cell-940. :cautious:

    Longest Life of T15 Cells?

    I did look at these, but "W" models are only a one-year warranty vs three. I called Hayward to verify.

    Longest Life of T15 Cells?

    FYI - My cell finally died. It was coming up on its 12th season. Got more than my monies worth out of it. Then I went to buy a replacement, and Hayward only has the T-Cell-940, basically an "extended life" version of the T-Cell-15. I shopped around, and best I could find was $1250. OUCH...

    New Liner - Am I being too picky?

    I had a similar situation with GLI about 10 years ago. I had some lighter panels and requested a warranty on the liner. I decided to take the new liner and store it inside for several years. This was after a discussion with GLI, and they said to I could store for 4 years in a controlled...

    Solid safety pool cover - reasonable price options someone aware of?

    I am on year 12, only a mesh cover, follow TFP to a T, and always open to crystal clear water.

    DIY Fence Around Safety Cover

    So I just had to order a new safety cover after 12 seasons. It would have lasted longer, but my mountain pond pool has concrete coping that is very rough. My current two Golden Retrievers have found that running entire length of yard AND on pool cover is a fun way to get rid of the zoomies...
