i have read online that there are some tree root 'panels' that can be put in a trench, they're about 2 feet tall, but can't say i've ever seen them at a hardware store, but then again can't say i've ever had a reason to look for them before either. a trencher does sound like a good idea...

had some time this weekend to do a little digging, and i think its probably on the safer side to say that its probably roots. ran into a 3/4" root about a foot down in the dirt, pretty much inline with one of the ridges on the pool side. now the problem is what to do about it... how much...

thanks for all the suggestions/info guys, i'll do some digging around this weekend or sooner and see what i run into.

sorry didn't reply sooner, was a busy weekend/work day today. the pines (big/tall/old) are about 8 to 10 feet away from the pool. i'll try to shoot a pic tomorrow after work to give an idea. i don't have a problem replacing the liner, so not worried about it drying out or anything. i was...

seems to be pretty hard, as if roots, haven't tried rolling it out, but only because judging by the hardness when pressing on it with my hand or foot it would take a seriously heavy roller to 'squish'. ridges might as well be cement, they don't budge. its very compressed, even the tiny ones...

I've inherited this above ground pool when we bought the house last january, so I've been working with it for 2 summers now. First summer was a learning experience, made much easier after discovering this forum (Thank you). This summer has been much much easier. Been using mostly regular...

toilet fill valve?? i guess you have a built in log flusher in your pool ;) but yeah, probably the autofill-do-not-overfill drain. anyway, looks like you have quite the smorgasbord of features in that setup of yours.

nice find, i tried googling last night, but made the mistake of spelling 'quik' properly, and not getting anything useful :)

:hammer: DUH :wink: thanks, not sure why those ideas didn't cross my mind

have you noticed any water being dumped somewhere when its open? make a quick flush?

Thanks for the help guys. I left the hose floating in the pool for about half a day (was ticked off after not getting it to work before) and when i came back this evening after reading your info i tried it again. Noticed the hose was more submerged than before, so not sure whether there was...

Per the subject line... I don't recall this happening before. I throw the vacuum hose into the water and do my best to fill the hose itself with as much water as I can before i attach the skimmer adapter and hook it in (manual suction brush) But shortly after the skimmer adapter gets pulled...

nice, grabbing, hopefully my test kit arrives tomorrow for me to start playing around. :)

It was the ring(s). I replaced the main cover one and the two on the drain plugs and not a bubble/drip in sight. no pressure build up either. Now I have to fight to get rid of the green that formed in the pool with it being off for so long :(

The lid is completely closed, but I'm sure the ring has some damage, as it was apparently left in the unit over winter. In any case, won't hurt to plug up the skimmer/return and open/clean it up just to be sure, before a replacement ring arrives.

Thanks guys, I'll get a new O ring ordered. Every time I write down the name of the pump I lose it somewhere before I get around to it... tonight will be different :) If that doesn't do it I'll tear into the filter itself. Or maybe start on that anyway beforehand. Was leary of opening the...

Hello everyone, noob issue here. I've inherited an above ground 15x30 oval pool that i'm trying to put under my control. I think I understand where I need to take things chemically, but right now I seem to be having a mechanical problem... I have a Jacuzzi 190L sand filter (no idea on the age...
