This is not my picture but its exactly how our white strip looks like and the concrete flooring. I am wanting to resurface it, DIY if possible but don't even know where to start. I have read about painting the concrete and concrete overlays. I would like to have some kind of border around it...

The floor of the pool is covered with dirt. I brushed part of the pool and you can see it. Should i vacuum to waste or keep going with the slam process?

Chlorine test came up as 7.5 and i added recommended amount of bleach 56oz

Pipe was fixed. We started the pump now, added 2 gallons of bleach 10% and hang the sock with some stabilizer. Will update later.

Im not sure how to leave the mineral pack out. My husband is out buying bleach and more stabilizer now. I turned SWG off. There is a pipe leaking a lot now (probably from when i opened the cell) and I will have my husband seal it. Will provide update later today. Thanks again!

Yes i do backwash regularly. I did not know that's all that was to cleaning the filter for this case. Would that make the SWG not show the check cell message anymore?

Thanks for the prompt response. So you understood correctly. How do i clean the filter? The SWG shut off because of that. I assume i can have my husband do some plumbing to take the mineral pack out and reconnect the pipelines?! Would the shock bags from Leslies work or it needs to be the...

Also, we have never opened up the sand filter. I assume it needs cleaning but we don't know how to do it.

Is that the cheapest/best option? My husband said even the screws are rusty.. i should have asked him to take a picture

Hello, This is our very first year with the pool and the booster pump worked fine for about 2 months then started making a sound. We havent turn it on in a week, know we have to do something but dont know where to start. My husband opened it and said everything is rusty inside and thinks we...

I am not sure since this is our first year in this house and we only replaced half the water, added fiber cellulose, powder shocks from pool store and lots of Metal Free. After finding this site, i fought a green monster and have used soda ash last week to bring Ph up, bleach almost every day...

I added the recommended 20 oz dry acid into a bucket of water and then to pool while walking around it... not correct? I did that and about an hour later added the bleach i needed.. it has been 1 hour since then. So i guess i need to buy Borates, what product and where can i get it? So when i...
