I second this request. I have a deep end also and all of the above ground automatic cleaners are for flat bottom pools. I 've been concerned that the inground cleaners would somehow damage my pool. My pool bottom is not the smoothest and I have numerous wrinkles in the liner. Johanna

Nic, Where are you in NC? My pool bottom looks a lot like yours. My water is clear and my chlorine seems to hold so I was unsure. I vacuum and it comes back within a day or two. I was thinking it was algae as well. I do use a solar cover but it still comes back. Hmm, haven't been using...

I've been meaning to ask a similar question. I have an AG pool with a deep end. I assume I can't use the AG pool cleaners, because I don't have a flat bottom, but have wondered if I can use the IG pool cleaners. Johanna

Thanks guys. For some reason I thought the TA should be lower. It if won't hurt anything I will leave it alone then. I did aim my eyeball up this morning before work. I suppose a day of it splashing won't hurt! Johanna

Ok tested my water this am. FC 6 ppm CC .5 ppm Ph 7.2 TA 120 CYA - didn't measure because I just added 3lb two days ago. I know I need to lower the TA. I read the sticky on lowering my TA. My concern is that I only have one return and no fountains, etc. I can direct the eyeball up...

I second that question.

Quick update. The chlorine has been holding and I got most of the gunk vacuumed up. We changed the sand in the filter. Was that old sand full of nasty clumps of gunk! Put 3 lbs of CYA in the pool and am letting the chlorine levels decrease. My CC is zero. This really was much easier than...

A few years back I woke up to find two stray dogs in the pool. They were treading water on top of the solar cover. They couldn't get themselves out. They had collars on and finally I was able to yank them out by the collars. They had rabies tags and we called the vet on the tag with the...

The hole in the bottom of my skimmer is the same size as the vacuum hose, so I just stick the vacuum hose in it so there is no leakage on that side. To just clean the basket on the pump I usually just stick a rag in the return. A little water gets through, but not enough to be a problem. If...

My chlorine did hold overnight at over 15ppm. Am I correct in thinking I should vacuum out all the crud on the bottom of the pool before changing sand? I'll see if the chlorine holds tonight as well.

I opened my pool on Saturday and started the conversion process Saturday evening. By Monday evening my water was looking great. I tested my water this morning and had the following results: FC - 19 ppm CC - 4.5 ppm Ph - 7.5 TA - 130 CH - 220 CYA - 0 Although the water is beautiful...

I found a website, PoolGeeks.com that sells it. I may give them a call tomorrow. A 32ox bottle is $17.99 plus shipping. Considering the amounts of bleach some people report using for conversion, it may be worth it. I'll update what I find out tomorrow. Johanna

I was nosying around the GLB pool and spa site, and saw a product called Xchange. It is to be used to convert from biguanide to chlorine. According to the site, you can continue to use the pool during the conversion. The basic instructions are: 1. Dilute in a water-filled pail. Use 32 oz...
