    crack in step

    The pillar was never talked about. That would have made sense though. Thanks for everyone's replies. The PB should be out to check it out by the end of the week.

    Well, I finally started to clean the rust stains on the floor of my pool with vitamin C tablets. It worked pretty well but my issue is I am having a hard time staying under the water deep enough to use the tablets. The pool is 3 feet to 5 feet deep. I keep floating to the top. How can I stay...

    Dig day july 20th

    Thank you for your reply. I guess I should have bought the 400k heater instead of the 250k. It is a new pool with all new equipment, so I think I will stay with the 250k heater for now. I will look into getting a bigger gas meter. I think here the gas company charges about $85 for the switch...

    The last two days I have noticed little specks of what looks like a brown rust color on the steps and the floor of the pool. Here are the things that have changed in the past week.
