    Liner issues?

    Keep the rails off, use those plasitc or metal "hand" clamps to hold it up in the mean time, let a little out every few inches when it looks like its stretching. Looks like your bottom is Bowled out a bit too... you'll get it.

    Liner issues?

    I thought overlap liners you were supposed to start with the floor of the liner a little off the sand base... then as you put water in you let a little out as you go.... make it fit nice and tight all the way around.

    Knowing your pool

    No real trees dumping stuff into the pool, CYA is good, i've kept an eye on when I put bleach in... I run the pump about 8 hrs a day give or take. I put 1 gallon in just after the sun goes down, leave the pump running for 3-4 hrs after I put it in and test in the morning. Usually a little on...

    Knowing your pool

    My pool chemistry has gotten to the point this year where I no longer check it with the Taylor kit ( maybe once every two weeks, just to make sure ) I check it with the cheap test strips ( mostly for my FC levels )once a week, everything else has stayed spot on ( no drift, no nothing ) I've...

    Above Ground Pool Purchase Help

    I was stating that the Sharkline Matrix is labeled on that site... The only two pools that Sharkline sells that are Aluminum are the Navigator and the Oasis semi inground... The matrix is in fact a Steel Wall pool with the rest being Resin.

    Above Ground Pool Purchase Help

    Gityler, i'd be careful with that website. It lists the Sharkline Matrix ( which I have ) as having a Aluminum wall. Unless there are two versions of the same pool and same model floating around I believe the site to be misleading. Also Mine is most certainly NOT aluminum :-) Sharkline Matrix
