    Time for new liner, what size?

    It’s 52 to the bead receiver but 54 to the top of the wall. I’m starting to think someone has added 3-4in of sand to the floor plus the cove.

    Time for new liner, what size?

    Getting ready to order a new pool liner and not sure what size I should order for the wall. Last time I ordered a 54 and had a lot of excess so I thought it was a 48 but apparently that’s very rare to have a 33 x 48 so now I’m thinking my floor may have been too high. Also it was a GLI liner...

    Pool Leak and Wall Rust. Can it be saved?

    The water level under the winter cover started to drop this spring then stopped with about 1ft left in the pool. I pulled the cover this weekend and found the liner had shrunk and was brittle (it was very cheap and was replaced 5 years ago. I then started to remove the liner and found a decent...

    Heating Issue

    I am trying to figure out what is wrong with my spa, I found it today off and the 50a breaker was tripped (not the gfci portion but the actual breaker). Had a storm the night before so I thought maybe that did it so I turned it back on and it tripped again about 5 minutes later. So I turned it...

    Another green pool after vacation

    I was back washing once a day since the water wasn't clear, I will try every 3 days unless you suggest waiting even longer, just didn't want it to get clogged. I certainly didn't pass the OCLT 10:55PM FC=15 CC=.5 now 4:45AM FC=10.5 CC=.5 the chart shows I should be around 12 for shocking...

    Another green pool after vacation

    I normally backwash until the water is clear which normally takes 30-45 sec but the past 2 time I probably back washed for 1min since the glass wasn't ever getting cloudy. I'm working on the CYA I don't want to get it too high so I have been adding stabilizer slowly. I'm going to get some...

    Another green pool after vacation

    Hi, I'm sure I sound like a broken record but I have been reading for hours and am not sure what is going on with my pool. I started with a fresh fill this year after I put my new liner in around may. I have been on the BBB method for the first time and started when I filled the pool. I have...

    Testing CYA: something is wrong.

    ok, I will get my CYA up and that should keep me from loosing all my chlorine to the sun each day. My pool is in full sun all day so I would think I would want a CYA of around 50 wouldn't I?

    Repairing a neglected pool

    So, I'm making progress on fixing the pool and getting close to putting the liner in. I just wanted to check back here so that people can take a look at what I'm doing to make sure it looks right. I dug out the pool track where it had fallen down due to washout then raised it backup to where...

    Pool Re-do

    Thank you for your suggestion, I have it narrowed down between 2 different liner pads. They are within $3 of each other so I'm just wondering which one would be better. What do you all think or do you think they are the same. The "Liner Armor" from Poolsupply world says its only 1/18th of an...
