Hey All, I'm nine years in on the 16x31 inground pool that came with our house. So far I've only outsourced having the liner replaced one time. I prefer to do most things myself unless it's a job that one guy can't really do. (Honestly, when I saw what went into replacing the liner I thought...

So this might be a little chintzy looking - but I'm not in the market to build a new pool and inherited the one we have with the house we bought. (It's an inground vinyl pool.) I was thinking a tanning ledge would be nice but haven't been able to find any sort of post-build options. What I'm...

I just got a Hayward SP2303VSP to replace a 3/4HP single speed 3400RPM pump. I'm still playing around with figuring out what speeds and times to use. I don't like the idea of letting my pool water sit with no movement so I thought I'd set 1000RPM from 7pm to 7am but I've noticed that the...

I had a new liner installed this year and I can feel rocks in many places underneath. Should I be worried about this? Is it unreasonable to expect that the installer would have addressed this before putting the liner in?

Does anyone have tips on this? Using only premixed chemicals seems like a good idea versus ever putting any powder directly into the pool water. Are there any products out there specifically designed to take it easy on vinyl? When I inherited our pool two years ago I didn't think anything...

My pool coping isn't in the greatest shape. I've already done some epoxy patching and used some SEM paint to try to rehab it a bit. Are there any better options short of tearing up all of the concrete? Maybe something thin that can go over the front of it?

I'm having my vinyl liner replaced on my inground pool and there are some spots where a gap has formed between the concrete and the coping. Is it OK to tighten the screws up a bit (pictured) as long as I don't over-torque them? http://puu.sh/pbVrY/89dd3980c7.JPG

The pool came with our house two years ago; vinyl liner was ancient and gave up the ghost this year. I pulled it back and this is what it looks like. Is this really bad? Normal? I have no basis for comparison. Thanks! Deep End http://puu.sh/pbFK4/b71fc1a4ea.JPG Shallow End...

Hi all, I've been sleuthing a bit since we acquired a house with a pool two years ago and this is my first post. Our liner was on borrowed time when we bought the house two years ago and this April it gave up the ghost. I've already contracted with a local outfit to replace the liner and it's...
