Ok, good to know. I only see 3.8L bottles of bleach, would a pool store have 10L or a larger amount available ? Or should I just get smaller bottles and stock up? I’ve been keeping an eye on stabilizer especially after rain and top up’s so I’m balanced and chlorine is better used. I thought...

I’ve been using granular chlorine because it’s cheap and can get in big buckets. Doesn’t dissolve very well and has caused liner bleaching and puckering issues when shocking. I pre mix in 5 gallon pales and let sit a while before using. I’m thinking of switching to liquid chlorine, and chlorine...

So no one uses algaecide which is adding copper and metals to the pools…I think it’s clear a lot of people don’t understand how any of this works responding. Most algaecide are copper sulfate. And then, I am still using stabilizer and chlorine tabs / granules for chlorinating my pool. So it’s a...

Isn't algecide copper based, so ionizer is just like an automated dosage of algecide to prevent algae blooms? I used to pre treat water routinely so it's less effort with an ionizer. Then UV, same idea just helps kill bacteria and treat water in an automated fashion. Then with a chlorinator and...

The company said you could do it as long as you had a pool floor (not just sand) and used their backing and seam mesh on the walls and floor joints. It applies with a sprayer too. I guess vinyl deals with ground shifting so wonder of this would too. Still thousands but cheaper and easier to do...

It looks like where the hole is in the pool pad going underground towards the pool the rigid PVC meets rubber tubing type stuff, does that mean they aren't using copper or rigid PVC underground? And if so, is it just cheaper and people don't bother...?

Has anyone used these products to replace a vinyl liner pool w/ steel walls using RubberizeIt products? Liquid Rubber Pool Coating System | Liquid Rubber Pool Paints, they have crumb rubber + fabric mesh + rubber paint and it can be applied with a sprayer. They suggest it's doable as long as...

You can use epoxy putty and also silicone caulking around the mouth. Depends on bad the issue is and if it's skimmer cracks or plumbing, but I've done some repairs myself that hold and just lowered the water line and cleaned it all up and the pool holds water. If it's in concrete decking it...

Are there any plumbing products designed to seal/fix underground pipes that are 20+ years old? I need to re-do my liner but the price keeps growing the company wants to redo all the plumbing, move the skimmer to the other side which is more accessible to dig then under concrete decking, etc...

Does anyone have one or both setup on their pools? I am looking for the ionizer to help prevent algae by raising copper levels (clear blue ionizer) then a UV lamp to also help treat the water as it passes through the system. I'm hoping this helps my sanitizer work more efficiently and can be...

1) My heater started saying check ignition failure and was not starting (worked fine before) 2) It started all of a sudden, then heated like crazy and there's black on the top and the digital display was so hot to the touch it burned and can't read the digital portion anymore - The tech came...

I want to build my own hot tub using blocks and rubberize it paint / rubber liner. Looking at purchasing the equipment like pumps, control panel, etc. It all adds up to more then a stand alone fiberglass tub for about 5 or 6 grand. Is there a place anyone can recommend to order all parts I...

Can't find a practical block wholesaler in my area, still looking but since it's hundreds of cinder blocks I'm not sure where I can find them and get them delivered. Blocks and rebar are 2x-3x the cost at a supply store like Home Depot here than in the US....We do have ready mix services, I was...

Awesome pool dw9000. Im okay with a liner. Plaster. New rubber seal coats. Doesnt matter to me. I just wanted to make sure I wasnt crazy for doing this in a harsh winter climate and other ppl still did this. So if i do a liner can i pour the footing seperate, floor after? No drains, i'll...

I am contacting a local shotcrete contractor. The issue is the cost of labor, and materials. Combined it doubles/triples the budget of the project, Canada materials are double compared to US and labor is insanely high compared to the US for trades jobs (finding good contractors, it's...

Is it feasible to do a concrete floor (ie 6 inches), concrete footing for wall, cinder block wall w/ mortar joints, and seal the concrete/blocks for a pool in a cold harsh winter climate? 6-8 foot deep end would be great, looking at 20'x40' rectangle but will probably end up smaller. Not sure...

Hello, I'm looking into purchasing a new home in the near future and putting an inground pool in. Around here pools a lot of older pools require so much maintenance and reno's that you may as well get a new one, and labor/materials is way more expensive here as well than the US. We watch home...
