I tried to get the liner out of the track in that section, but it wouldn't budge. The liner is 11 years old, so it's been in there a while. The heat gun / hot water trick is a great suggestion. If I ever get in this situation again, I'd look into doing that to try and soften the liner a bit...

Thank you both. A rubber gasket would be much better. I have put some butyl tape behind the liner where a gasket would go, and done the same between the outer housing and the liner where the other gasket would go. I was able to get the bottom 4 screws in, but now I have to get the liner above to...

My vinyl liner is leaking. Last fall I was hopeful I got the source when I found a small slice in the liner by the stairs and patched it. But the water dropped below that over the winter. It’s now at the light niche. I had plugged the back of the niche in the fall with putty. While there’s a...

Thanks, Herman. Yes, it met that after the first day (probably because the pool has been open for a few weeks and the water was clear already). CC was 0, hardly lost any chlorine overnight (a few days later it's still pretty high) and there were no visible signs of algae. Now to adding enough...

Finally was able to get the time to work on this and get the CYA above 30. Started the SLAM process last night, putting in 3 gallons of liquid chlorine (that's what the calculator in the app recommended to start), and almost a day later the FC level is still a 14 (basic chlorine measurement is a...

Thanks for the advice. I’ll take the grids out of the filter and rinse them clean once I get the CYA taken care of.

Thanks! Waiting for pH to lower now and then CYA next. Will be heading out to buy liquid chlorine soon. Pool has been ‘open’ for a few weeks now and I’ve cleaned the filter a few times, especially after then stain remover cloudy issue. Would you recommend cleaning de filter again after pH is...

This year was my first 'opening' after adding SWG last summer and boy was it a mess. I had some ugly stains on the pool liner by the main drain from the winter (looked like leaves, possibly some worms in various spots). I made what I believe are a few mistakes and am now trying to do this right...

Thank you guys! I will get the load/line squared away this weekend and do the 30 minutes before/after as suggested so it can all run on its own. The wiring is secured, just not in the picture I shared (nothing was hooked up at that stage). That said it could be a little better and I will use...

Sharing an update. The salt system is up and operational. I wasn't as 'neat' as I would like to have been on some of the glue, but it's working just fine and no one goes back there but me on occasion. The only thing left for me to do is figure out the timer situation. It's all wired into the...
