    Need Help Liner issue - Air or Water

    Cloudy Water

    I went up to the cottage for a couple days and upon my return the water has become fairly cloudy in my pool. It is not that bad and we still swam in it. The pool was covered for 2 days and it was very hot over the weekend, we think the pool pump stopped circulating water because we had a power...
