We are installing a vinyl liner ourselves. So far we have repaired the vermiculite, done a fine job on a coping repair :whoot: (which I will have to tell ya'll about - really smart thing my hubby did I think), and put the wall foam up (which I think was the hardest job of all, oddly enough)...

When attempting to drain the remaining water from our pool so that we could measure for a new liner (leak and total liner loss) we found our pump not working. It is humming, but not pulling water. It is a hayward 1 hp super pump. It did this last year and we replaced something :oops: well...

At the very end of the season last year I began to notice our pool was losing water pretty quickly. We were adding at least a couple of inches of water every day or two. This was with the pump running 24/7. We went ahead and closed the pool. Over the course of the winter (7 months) we have...

We have a Hayward S220 Sand Filter and have had to remove the sand to check for a problem with laterals and center pipe. We were concerned last year there wasn't enough sand when we put the new in (although I would have thought we put the right amount as we were putting new(: ) Anyway, we...

I posted earlier about something in the bottom of my pool. I first thought mustard algae, but that is not it. Numbers are good, no FC loss overnight, no cc. Deep end is slightly cloudy. I then started thinking it must be sand, but it is fine particles that seem too small for sand. After...

Our pool is several, well, many years old and so is the diving board. The base finally cracked and needs replaced. It is so old the bolts and nuts have rusted together. We are having a terrible time just removing the base. I believe it can be replaced with a La Mesa dive stand and matches...

Hi, love the site! Used it last year with best season ever, though still have a lot to learn... obviously :? OK, we have a green swamp. Actually, when we uncovered yesterday, we could see the bottom of the deep end. After the water has gotten stirred we can no longer see the bottom of the...

Our pump quit so we have to replace... should we buy a 2 speed? Just wondering if anyone has used a 2 speed and has an opinion. Thanks!

Hi folks, I have been attempting this BBB method this year and have saved so much money and have stayed pretty trouble free with our pool - best season ever! I have not mastered this yet, but as I said, it is much much improved. We had several days of rain and I did not maintain so now I have...
