    installing liner lock

    Hi! It seems every spring a small section of my liner pops out on each side of the steps past the corners in the shallow end, so this year I bought a 120 ft. roll of liner lock. There's no instructions with it so it must be pretty straight forward to use, right? Thanks to Waste, I've got...

    Hi ya'll! I've been reading your posts for months as a guest and have learned alot as a new pool owner. I've already switched to BBB for my new pool this summer and had great success (much to PB dismay since I'm not buying all their chemicals). I'm going to be a new hot tub owner (Caldera...
