We had a huge rainstorm with flooding in the area a couple days ago (like 4 inches in a couple hours). Now I see wrinkles in my liner in my shallow end and if I look directly down at the edge I see some small bulges on the walls in some areas. I haven't been in the pool yet to tell how high the...

We have pool cover anchors in a paver patio (see picture) and many of them are failed in different ways. Some free spin/come out of the ground, some are no longer screwing in and out, etc. So we are looking to replace them. I would appreciate confirmation of what kind of anchors to buy and...

I'm so demoralized. We opened our pool a week ago. It was green but not too bad it seemed. This is our third year of pool ownership by the way. Previous years we SLAMed and then had pretty low maintenance seasons with our swg. This year its been staying green looking due to staining on the vinyl...

Opened our pool yesterday and got the pump running and the robot cleaning. Still some debris in the pool this morning but not looking too bad. Yesterday afternoon I dumped in 2 gals of 12.5% liquid chlorine to get me to a FC of approx 8.3 just to get stuff cleaning while waiting for the water...

Husband and I opened the pool ourselves today for the first time!! Figured out everything and it all seems to be running smoothly (swg off for SLAM). It was a little green but after some bleach and a brush it's already not looking too bad. Eating up the FC though! Here are my test results...

So I have the Taylor salt kit, and it's reading 3200, exactly where I want to be salt-wise. The cell however is reading 2500, low salt and it's been running for more than 24hrs. It is still generating (ended today at FC=4 when yesterday evening was FC=2.5 so I have it a little high). We go out...

Was waiting to clear some algae (still keeping FC at 10 for another day), but I think my tests say I can start up the swg? We need to add some salt, wait 24hrs then figure out how long/% we want to run. Good plan? Am I missing something?

New pool owner, husband just spent hours vacuuming the pool with one of those cheap small triangle brush vacuums. He is already ready to get a robot ? We have what I think is called a hopper shaped pool (see picture) with dimensions of 20'x44', half of the pool is around 3 feet deep and the...

Hello new friends! First time pool owner and ready to take control! Going to use this thread to keep all my testing in one place til I am no longer a newbie! My TF100 test kit, stirrer, and salt test kit are supposed to arrive tomorrow. While I waited I gathered my pool info (will update my sig...

New pool owner, Swg system, I see the swg cell and the sand filter. And the black pump. The pool guy who opened the pool said the gray thing wasn't needed and he only reinstalled it because it was in line. I believe it is abandoned from when they switched to Swg. Was the pool guy right about the...

Hi lovely people! My husband and I purchased a house with a large in ground pool in southeastern Connecticut and are trying to figure out what to do!! Its a SWG and is quite large at 20'x44' with steps and swim out ledge. We had a pool company open the pool on Monday. They threw shock in and...
