I believe because of really poor installation. A couple of the leaks were pull aways and or cuts to large around openings. Last one we had fixed by another company was because the liner had an opening by the light. The original installer just placed a small piece of vinyl over it. I happen to...

No, no idea where the leak is. Been fighting leaks since we got a new liner a couple years ago. Keep patching and finding them, but still seems we have more. Plumbing was pressure treated this year and found no leaks there.

How low is too low? We apparently still have a leak and level continues to go down slowly. Wondering how low is too low and should I add some water before we start to freeze? Thank you.

I can feel the water flow out with my fingers so it's a significant leak. This place will not stand behind their work. We had a hard time getting them to pull the liner back into the track when it kept coming out right after installation.

We had a new linear installed in our pool two years ago. Not a great job in my opinion. Liner kept pulling out of the to track, leaks etc. This year still more leaks. I found a spot near the light where it looks like the liner had either turn or pulled out from the light ring. It's a...

I am wondering if tree growth may be a contributor. Yes have grown more over the pool. Maybe trimming them back might help.

I do an overnight drop after I shock. Typically I go with clear water, no drop for two consecutive nights. Yes I have fallen below 3.5 a few times but not for long. Typically I will test at night and adjust. I've had a few nights where I've been below 3.5 so from morning to evening it gets...

Tf 100 and I chlorinate manually adding liquid chlorine daily. I can not say that I never fall below a certain level FC but I've been very different this year and have general been on top of FC levels. Once or twice falling low, 1 ppm or so for less than a day.

But why am I having this issue the last two years and not the previous five? Nothing has changed that I can tell. If anything I've taken more care, watched chem levels, more regular vacuuming etc than I did the first two or three years to be certain. Getting a robot vacuum is certainly an...

I'm manually vacuuming with a brush...as you can imagine not fun doing everyday. It was my understanding that 3 to 4 hours a day is what you should be running. It has only been the last couple years that this has been an issue and I've been running 3 to 4 hours the entire time.

Current numbers. FC 3.5 CC 0.5 PH 6.8 purposefully running low to descale TA not tested since I started running lower PH. CH 225 CYA 35

I've had this pool for seven years now. My frequency of vacuuming seems to continuously go up. Last year I thought I had an algae issue so I shocked it. Still had the problem. Shocked again and left it shocked for quite a while despite otherwise clear water and no overnight drop.... Same...

Last year I fought PH all year. This year same thing. Got TA down to 110 and PH down to 7.5. tested today and PH is off the chart 8.2+ and TA is 150. Im also thinking this probably has something to do with the rough feeling liner. Current numbers. FC 3.5 CC 0.5 PH 8.2+ TA 150 CH 225 CYA 35 I...

Still struggling with this. I went thru the SLAM process again and thought I was being very conservative. Left it at SLAM levels for a couple days after having a success over night drop test. I let the levels drop back down to normal levels. Didn't vacuum for three four days and the attached...

I printed the SLAM process out when we first moved here and have been following it ever since. My guess is that I've been fighting several things for the last couple years. Had a small leak so we regularly had to add water probably causing issues. Aeration issue. Not keeping chlorine levels...

Aeration is probably the issue. I've got one jet that probably needs to be redirected.

Define "Consistently" :). I'm definitely guilty of not keeping it exactly at the correct level all the time and know that a few times I have left it to long and that's why the algae. However for the last couple years it seems the algae just grows. I even tried keeping the levels higher than...

What would cause you PH to spike? I typically don't check PH religiously. I checked it this spring when I SLAM'd it and adjusted it to ~7.2-7.3. I checked it a few times since then and it stayed in the same range. Today when preparing to SLAM it was higher than I have ever seen it. I was using a...

Ok I'll go thru the SLAM again and check everything. Just does not seem to be doing the trick this time.

I've had this pool for ~6 years, liner is new a couple years ago. Each year I seem to have more and more problems with what I'm assuming is algae. Water is clear, but unless I vacuum every day I get a green film on bottom and sides and eventually, couple days, clumps of the stuff. I was under...

So I've been looking at covers and reels for a while. Looks to me like Doheny's has considerably better pricing than others on the solar covers. I saw a couple reviews for the one I was looking at Clear/16mil, that said they delaminated quickly etc. Anyone have experience with these covers...

So another question. The down tube was REALLY stuck into the multi-Valve. In my efforts to get it apart the one single screw holding the plastic part onto the bottom of the port broke. I'm not sure what function this screw serves, it sure isn't holding anything in place under any pressure. Am I...

So I took the multi valve off to take a look at the sand levels and do a cleaning. The laterals pulled out. Not really thinking "Gee how are those going to go back" I continued on cleaning the sand and then realized....well that was stupid all that has to come out anyway. I then went to drain...
