Thanks mknauss! It is in back of the skimmer and just above the normal water line. Looks like it had been abandoned at some point since I don't see it at the equipment pad. We're changing the pool deck so I may bring the line back to the pad and use it to top off the water level. The kids...

Perfect, thank you Jim!

Hello all, I have a suction side leak so I did some digging at one of the skimmers. I found that the skimmer has two lines - a 1-1/2" flex on the bottom and a 1" pvc pipe near the top. Any thoughts on what the pipe near the top was used for? It's a vinyl pool built sometime in the 70s. Thank...

Thanks James. Yes, the old liner was in the pool when the track was installed. And what ever system was used to hold the liner walls was definitely still in place (was a track type system used 20 years ago?). I did ask the pool guy about the gap and the response was that he got it as high as...

Thank you for the input everyone. The track was installed well before the liner was delivered so I don't think they adjusted the placement of the track to account for a liner mis-measurement. I'm guessing they can't stretch the liner to fix the issue given the skimmers and returns have been...

Thanks James. No, there was no gap with the old liner. The pool guy said he put the track as close to the coping as he could. Is the track typically placed much closer to the coping?

Good morning everyone, I recently had a new vinyl liner installed. There is a 1" gap between the liner track and coping. Any ideas on what I can use to cover the concrete showing in the gap? Thank you in advance.

Thank you for the feedback everyone. Yes, I didn't think the wrinkles would work themselves out - thankfully I didn't give him the final payment yet!

Good morning everyone, Our pool guy replaced our liner on a 20k gal IG pool. There are deep wrinkles throughout the bottom - low and deep ends. The pool guy claims the wrinkles are creases from the factory fold on the liner and will smooth out by themselves with the pressure of the pool...

Thank you very much for the help guys!

Thanks Woody. Should I work on getting the PH up first or the TA?

Hello Guys, Tested my 520gal spa yesterday and found the Ph was over 8 (I checked the TA about 4 days ago and it was 30). I had planned to use the muriatic acid and aeration method to bring it back down but I misread the calculator and added way too much acid( 7.9oz). After an hour of...
