    Liner at edges of steps leaking

    I may have brought this upon myself.......I bought some Borderlines, a product that freshens the top of the liner. I got the 9" high version. I drained the pool about 12-14" and I started at the edge of the steps.......I loosened the top 5 screws so I could tuck the Borderlines under the plastic...

    Borderlines, adhesive tile borders

    While researching vinyl repair options I stumbled upon this product and I am curious if any member has tried this and was a positive outcome. To me it looks perfect to extend the life of the liner 2-3 years while I properly capitalize the project. BEFORE: AFTER:

    I thought I had it..

    I may be assuming too much by the math, but my cya was about 90...so I dumped appx 6700 gal ( 896 cubic feet) of water and it shoud have dropped it appx 20 points to 70......shocked at 15ppm until zero loss overnight.

    The pool is green and Im mobilizing my army

    I lost the handle a couple of weeks ago due to my stupidity. This is my plan: My robot will be here on Wed and my CYA was 90. Over the weekend I replaced about 20% of 33.5K gal but have not got my new CYA yet. The pool calc suggest a drop from 90 to 70 but will check before I attack. Prior to...
