Back story on this pool. I used the horrible free cover without a pillow and the thing sunk all the way to the bottom over the winter. It didn't collapse, it was still tight on the walls, but it sunk. And it got gunk on it. Lots of gunk. So I decided to treat said gunk for algae before we...

I'm in Southern Middle Tennessee and while it can get cold here, it doesn't get "my whole pool is going to freeze" cold. I do winterize with a cover and I even use a pillow (mostly to keep the leaves and water from collecting smack in the center of the pool), drain below the skimmer, etc. This...

I suddenly developed two wrinkles in the bottom of my pool liner, side by side, a few inches long. Any idea what this could be caused by? My chemicals are in balance but we have had a TON of rain this year. Drainage doesn't look like it's going under the pool and it doesn't seem like I'm losing...

Hi everyone! My new pool has been installed today and I'm going through the tedious "fill it while it's daylight" process. But I've been doing a lot of research and reading about back fill. My pool has steel walls and I've seen a lot of mention about plastic around the pool before you back...
