Hello!! Welcome to TFP! :wave: I started here with TFP right after I took my first batch of water in to be tested and immediately realized they had no clue what to do. The guy said to add x amount of calcium, and so I returned with water sample #2 and he says "oops, I told you to add too...

Odd- I just tried to find that and my Costco online doesn't show that?

Is there a big price difference? That would be my first concern as to how much is that worth over the regular liners? The Montauk would be my pick- I like darker pools.

Never heard of that brand. Give us a full review in a couple months, okay?

I like the small wall in the pic as people can also sit on the edge of the pool.

Or something clogging it...or a cold freeze breaking it? Its a PITA to fix a main drain under all that cement.

I've seen nice looking poolside lifts online. Pool Lifts

Are you sure your cell actually needs it? Some have a reverse polarity feature and it never built up anything needing to be cleaned. Don't clean unless you see build up on the plates.

Make sure you go online and fill out your plaster registration.

I liken it to Gin Clear. So sparkly clear it begs for a Lime. :cool:

I'm sorry but I'm not clear as to whom you are replying to?

What a nice looking pool! Welcome to TFP! (the green is kinda pretty but, well, no one wants to swim in it right?).

How big is your pool in gallons?

Why not just do it once and go have fun? I've gone to Italy for 17 days and come back to a pool just like I left it. My pump and SWG run low and slow its normal schedule, but covered pool.

Me? Not that often actually. Maybe 2x in swim season.

Sorry, they are older and just a generic type the pool store sold. If I find the name I'll get back to you.

You want a great Arugala salad? Arugula, thin sliced fresh fennel, naval orange segments cut in 3rds (lets that yummy juice out) then just dress with s/p, good olive oil and a little wine vinegar. Favolosa! Also yummy with crumbled goat cheese tossed in before dressing. Maddie :flower:

Welcome! Welcome! WELCOME!!!

I would feel safer with 30 days before robot use.

Mine is currently 14 years old. First cell lasted 9 years, never needed cleaning. YMMV.

How often do you go on vacation and use pucks? If you are using Clorox XtraBlu pucks they may be the source of your copper.

Chlorine pucks are going to cause you grief in short order. First, Pucks contain CYA, which will build up fast and requires water exchange to get rid of. Secondly- if you buy the ones from Lowes or Costco (Any with the word "Blue" in the name) usually contain Copper. Copper stains- No Bueno...

I'm inpatient some years and have used the liquid. I just brush it all around until it disappears. For your sized pool I'd be surprised if a gallon of liquid raised your CYA level over 20 points. So it would be very costly if you needed / used a lot more. Maddie :flower:

We always just keep 2 generic sets, one set in and te other cleaned out and ready to switch out. We don't use the Sundance mineral packs so that saves some green. Maddie 🌻

Well, this will be fun to watch! I hope you'll keep us in the loop right here, and add lots of pics during this whole project. We love us some pics 💙 Will you be putting up a retaining wall up at the bottom of that small slope? Maddie :flower:

While Skippy and I snuck out of town overnight, our son zipped in from Atlanta and cut back some of the trees still sitting on our cover. He was able to open the cover about a foot & send me a pic of clear water! Nine months closed and yet still clear. That's a win!! :party: Now if only The...

Take pictures of everything they do. You may need it for records later.

I dug into the archives and found one suggestion from 2012 saying - Painting was discouraged almost universally. Good Luck with whatever you decide to do.
