I did add sequestrant yesterday evening cause I didn't want to wait to long so I just did it. It looks better this morning but I still need some more. I didnt want to over do it. I just wanted to make sure that it was possible for the rain to cause this and not something else. Once again Thanks...

Just by guessing I would say 2-3 inches between last night and today. Raised my pool level about 4 inches til it was overflowing through the skimmer.

I just filled it the other day (well water) and when I added chlorine it turned orange so I added a metal sequestrant. That cleared it up so yesterday I shocked it with bleach and it was fine late yesterday evening. We got a big rain today and it turned it orange again. Does rain have metals in...

I went ahead and did it first thing this morning. Thanks !!!

i forgot to lower the pH before I put the metal sequestrant. Should I do that now or wait til tomorrow? And did I just waste the sequestrant or will it still work with the pH at 7.7?

you read my mind about the chlorine and CYA. I was wondering about just what you said as I was typing it. I am planning on getting a good test kit but these past two weeks hasn't been a good time. I don't care for that pool stores test methods because they use a test strip and put it in a...

Pool place gave me a new liner with no questions asked. Have the new one in and all filled up. Thanks for the responses !!!

I just replaced my 1 month old liner and I have it full againas of yesterday. Last start up I shocked right away and turned the pool orange from metals and got a few stains from that. So my question is to avoid any more stains to my skimmer and ladder should I do the metal out first and then...

Yes indeed. :goodjob:

You read my mind. I am assuming I can use it as a patch? What kind of glue/adhesive do you use that sets up underwater?

Called the place this morning and explained what is going on and the guy said "no problem. I have one left here", so my wife went got it. They didn't even go look at the old one, nor do they want the old one back. Now I just have to change it out. :( Sucks but at least I didn't have to buy one.

I hope your right. My luck with stuff like this is not very good though.

Never installed a patch before so I am not sure but the tear (liner pulled apart) is about 8" long. It is pulled so much that I can lift it up and see the coving so I doubt a patch will help. I can also see about two feet in either direction that it looks like it is coming apart. I think I am...

So I should just leave it full. Its got my yard a mess. It's about an 8" tear.

Just found my liner is tearing at the seam around the bottom. Abouut an 8" tear. Can I drain it all the way and leave it like that for a couple days or is it gonna cause damage to the walls? It is only 1 month old Ahhh!!! Thanks !!!
