So based on advice from here, we are trying to SLAM our pool. The online calculators for how much bleach I should be using must be WAY off. We really want to swim! I added bleach last night, then took readings again, no FC loss (it went up 2ppm) but I have an autocover. I see from a past search...

Vinyl liner pool with water getting behind liner. Constant problem. Have installed about 15K worth of drains around pool which is not working (some are just drain tile, some are huge in diameter). Live in NE Ohio so clay soil. Would a sump pump help remedy this? Is this even possible in my...

I just got my first TFTest kit and have questions about CYA. I'm relatively new here I appreciate your patience. 36,000 gal 40 X20 with auto cover SWG salt set to 3000 chlorinator at 40%, it was set at 45% yesterday (we just had pool ppl open about 2 weeks ago) FC: 6.5 pH: 7.5 Not sure what...

40 X 20 vinyl rectangle IG. 4 ft to 8 ft with AC. Can either do corner steps with a bench ( I would do a bench away from the steps, I don't personally want them attached) or a few steps the width of the pool (downside is this eats up some of my shallow end). What would you do? I have 2 boys...

It's from a stamped concrete web site. Is this the painting technique, like in bmoreswim 's pool? Mods--hope this ? goes here, feel free to move. http://www.greystonemasonry.org/portfolio/displayimage.php?album=12&pid=468#top_display_media Amy

20 X 40 IG SWG vinyl liner pool with AC., starting construction hopefully end of this week. Was looking at 8' concrete decking all around, but now think we will need more, like maybe 12' on the one long side and 16'. Common sense tells me to put extra decking on the shallow end, but I thought...

PB gave me books for 2 manufacturers--GLI and Pegasus. Thinking of going tan (any negatives to that?). Pegasus has only one and it's more grey and I don't really like it that much (1st image). I just read on here that someone put them in their large jetted tub and I might do that. Any other...

Thoughts on this? We are supposed to start digging June 24. IG vinyl, 20 X 40, saltwater with auto cover. Live in NE Ohio. We are still deciding the liner and amt of decking (some type of concrete). I keep getting the runaround on whether or not stamped concrete is too slippery. Super...

It may sound silly, but having my own pool has been a dream of mine. Starting in spring, we will be building a 20 X 40 IG vinyl liner pool (saltwater filtration). Although I've been lurking, I can't wait to read even more info here. I can't remember the pump size recommended to us. Since we...
