I may have brought this upon myself.......I bought some Borderlines, a product that freshens the top of the liner. I got the 9" high version. I drained the pool about 12-14" and I started at the edge of the steps.......I loosened the top 5 screws so I could tuck the Borderlines under the plastic...

We have an AquaBot Turbo T2......we call it.............wait for it.................. Robby......not too original but we talk as though he is a person. "You get Robby in the pool yet?" "Yep, Robby started about 8 am" :party: :party:

While researching vinyl repair options I stumbled upon this product and I am curious if any member has tried this and was a positive outcome. To me it looks perfect to extend the life of the liner 2-3 years while I properly capitalize the project. BEFORE: AFTER:

Thanks, thats what I'll do

Hello all..... I have received a lot of great info and now I need some more. I just noticed a moon-shaped tear in the liner in one of the corners. The tear is about 3" long and about 1/5" wide at its widest. I am thinking just duct tape, but Im looking for a more aesthetically pleasing...

OK, we have decided that we will get a 2 speed pump...I have a call into Pool and Spa warehouse and hopfully Paul will do me as right on a pump as he did on a robot

Hey All...longtime no posts.....but My Hayward 1.5 hp single speed pump bit the big one... Do I: get a new single speed get a 2 speed or get a variable speed Thoughts on which way to go!!!

I really appreciate the assistance on this. How do I add CYA so I dont overshoot............sounds reasonable....when you start to add it how long does it take to register....

OK, so is there any way to make the test kit cya test to a finer degree? It held 11ppm over night and will see what it does during the day today....supposed to be overcast and 80's

I got home at 6p and check the clorine........3.5 fc and .5 cc 4ppm TC. It held that all day........any thoughts?

If I get home tonight and there is still clorine......is it safe to assume that there is some cya maybe. I know it held at 4ppm overnight.......does night time matter??

with zero CYA....its gonna be a few days until I get the stabilizer... I bought bleace...but did I get enough?? Thanks guys........ :party: :party: :party:

OK, update on the war.....I can see a dime in the deep end (very clear) Latest numbers FC 7 CC 1 (I have never had CC's before------although I saw one at the pool store The new VW CC Ph 8 TA 120 CYA 0 tested it last night 2X and once this morning I originally had a CYA of appx 90...

I may be assuming too much by the math, but my cya was about 90...so I dumped appx 6700 gal ( 896 cubic feet) of water and it shoud have dropped it appx 20 points to 70......shocked at 15ppm until zero loss overnight. Then I was maintaining appx 10ppm and when I check it again at the end of the...

I decided to use a tactic that you may have heard of.......Surge, I surged the chlorine to 20ppm and checked hourly yesterday and it was doing pretty well.....it held the Algae armies at bay overnight. Now as part of my exit startegy: (Ive modeled this plan on our position in Korea) The war is...

I put bleach in the other day to bring clourine to 15ppm, an hour later it 3as 13.5 ppm, and it stayed there for 3 retests(taking samples from same spot, thanks Duraleigh) I dont remeber what I was bringing it to 15 ppm from. Before I get started again, I dont think I shocked long enough (got...

Can you check to get a gauge of where you really are ppm wise :whip:

Personally, I cannot wait to get rid of the grass.......with no grass, for the most part no doggy droppings. :party: :party:

Can I put anything on top of the concrete or would I have to rear it up and do it (I will live with it before I DO THAT) Thanks in advance

ooops......PH was between 8.0 and 8.2. is what Im doing able to change the ph.......the ph is probably not accurate due to the high chlorine

I tested this morning and got FC 20 shock =28 will check this evening and add cal hypo TA 110 CH 120

Im hoping that its normal and that it will clear up again. I was told to sift it into the skimmer and that I did not need to pre mix, even said so on the container.......

We found a good size wasp or hornet nest in a piece of furniture yesterday. As part of her strategy, my wife pushed the chaise lounge into the pool and probable 20-30 really ****** off wasps were on the surface of the water She did several pretty long "attacks" with the spray, it seemed to...

Thank you for the kind words. The pool is very clear(I can se the liner pattern in the deep end 8.5') The robot is doing great, i ran twice yesterday and will run again today. I think I know the answer but I have to ask.....do I keep at shock level until the overnight drop is zero? Im going...

Well, the latest. I had run out of bleach and could only bump it back to 12ppm, over the course of the day it was 6ppm, Andrea had picked up some bleach, got it back to 20ppm and over night it dropped to 18ppm. It looks like I might be turning the corner. Today will be the first full cycle for...

OK, I went right to BBB and Im not sure what the cal hypo is....is that the trichlor pucks or whatever........I was afraid of raising my CYA I will be Grasshopper.......teach me

The pool is officially blue again Threads Merged for Consistency very cloudy but blue....Im hoping the cloudy is the dead algae I had an overnight drop of about 12ppm and I did not have enough bleach to get it to 20.......will I lose the battle or will I be able to get back in front after I...

Hello form the front I brought the chloring back up to 20 ppm and ran the robot for about an hour....pretty cool. This morning the the chloring was abot 7-8 so there was about 12-13 ppm consumed and the water is continually looking less and less green and more very cloudy blue.... Man I cannot...

Well. I just got home and over the course of the day it consumed appx 14 ppm of chlorine. From 20 to 6, Im going to bring it back up to 20 and then get the Robot to work....it was waiting for me. One more thing, over the course of today, the general appearance of the water has gone from green...
