I have since discovered that the uprights have been installed on concrete blocks... Do I still need to take it all the way down to fix it?

Wait.... We can't reuse the liner?!?! Oh my...

Well that's not the news I was hoping for. I was afraid of having to empty it and reset it so I'll just go cry in a corner (joking, kind of haha). Should we hire somebody to do this or realistically is it something we could tackle ourselves or would that be crazy? Is it going to cost a fortune...

A little update, looking for suggestions on how to proceed please. We have not had time to take apart the top rail yet. The pool has been significantly warmer for the last week and I was finally able to hop in during a pool party. Upon further inspection I can see where there is a decent...

Your comment about the gaps is comforting. I'll try to take the caps off Friday or Saturday morning as I'm sure getting it all squared off is not a one person job (maybe it is?) I think all of the screws are OK, the piece I'm saying is broken it the actual hole on the top rail pieces...

Our pool came with the house we bought and this is our second pool season and I don't have a lot of information on the manufacturer or model. Previous owner said they thought it was one from Watson's here in KY. Our railing hasn't been secure (see picture) since we've owned the house. A lot...

Ok so I've met all 3 criteria but my pH is a bit high at 8.2. My FC held overnight at 16 and I'm going to let it drift down to normal today, shouldn't take too long since the pool is in full sun. We're having a party this afternoon and I'd like to be able to swim as it's going to be 90°+ here...

Thank you

Since it was holding FC, I brought the CYA up to 30 and kept the FC within SLAM range as much as I could while also having to work. I tested this morning and when I got home in the afternoon it had gone from 12 to 7. I added bleach to bring it back up to 12 (I actually think the app was set to...

Should I just keep SLAM-ing and keep my FC up?

We got the pump figured out and I brought the FC up a little earlier and brushed the whole pool. I tested my FC and pH and I'm at FC about 5 PH went up to 8

Do I need to bring my TA up?

I'm having some issues with my filter shooting sand into the pool when I went to start it I'm waiting for my husband to get home to help me deal with that issue. Previous owners had it hooked up backwards (outlet to pump/inlet to pool). We switched the connections around and bam sand in the...

Ok so we finished vacuuming the pool late last night. I think it actually looks a lot better. We're also waiting on a Dolphin e10 to get here tomorrow. I'm hoping that helps the clean up too. Do I need to SLAM it for a couple of days?

Yes! I discovered the PoolMath App. It was my best friend last summer. I'll use it to get my numbers.

Well... Nobody said pool ownership was easy haha. I guess we'll just have to make the neighbors think we're crazy haha. Thank you for the hope! I have liquid CYA. Can I use that instead of the powder/sock method? How long after should I add the chlorine? We're in the process of vacuuming it...

Thank you for the reply. I was hoping to hear that. I didn't want to stir it up too much and cause it to become a SWAMP. I think I will have to SLAM it as my water has a slight green hue to it but I'm hoping I won't have to do it as long and maybe have it open for the weekend... However, that...

We bought our house last year and the pool was practically open and I was able to maintain it with TFPC method. I don't think I closed it correctly last fall but I can't go back. We took the cover off this morning to this.. Everything is settled to the bottom and I'm not sure what we should do...

My CYA is at 0 currently. Do I need to bring that up first? Can I use liquid conditioner/stabilizer instead of the granules?

Done! We have a sand filter and I just thought it would be better to not vacuum everything into the filter.

I'd definitely consider all of my options. Honestly I'm so new to this that I don't even know the difference. We don't get any leaves or large debris in the pool.. Mainly pollen and small stuff.

We bought our house last year and it has a 33' above ground pool about 4.5' deep. We made due last year with a little push vacuum with bag filter and no way I'm doing that again.... Debating on the E10, active 20 or Escape. The e10 lists a max pool size of 32', is this definite or is there...
