@Texas Splash @JoyfulNoise @Gotta Pool apologies all for the delay getting back to you and thanks for all the input! I did not record my readings right when I closed it. I see in my logs my last reading was in september but i didn't close it until into october. I know i checked it and chlorine...

Yes we do, but that particular spot is in the tanning ledge so the robot doesn't go there ever because it's not deep enough for it.

It's both the winter/closing water line and the summer waterline. We have an auto cover so we don't drain it any when closing. This past winter was the first year I closed it myself. We've had all kinds of issues with this liner, it started wrinkling horribly within the first year. The company...

All, Can anyone tell me what I have wrong, chemical wise or other, that would cause the finish to come off the liner along the water line? It's happening in 2 corners of the pool, in the past we had waterline scum problems we've tried to clean off and caused some of the finish to rub off, but...

got it, so even though i happened to pass the OCLT one night doesn't mean i've successfully beaten it. i'll continue to monitor and maintain SLAM until i'm confident its been beaten! :D

ok, i'm not sure what i did wrong or if this is just something that can happen.... So the other night when i passed the OCLT i tested FC at 24 at night and then in the morning it was 24.5. I just figured maybe i miss counted 1 drop when i tested the night before on why it went up. I decided to...

i passed my OCLT last night! so hopefully i'm out of the woods now! :)

I'm now 99% convinced mine is dead algae that i've unknowingly been fighting. we were busy for a couple of days so hadn't used the pool, but uncovered it during the day, so it had a lot of time for stuff to settle. This is what it looked like yesterday afternoon @sum1els i copied your idea of...

Uncovered the pool this morning and back to tons of whatever it is on the floor of my pool 😕 seems excessive to just be dirt..... I haven't been able to run an OCLT but plan to do that tonight. I'm assuming if it's algae my FC will drop and if it's dirt it won't.

don't mean to hi-jack your thread but i came here to make a post as i'm having this exact problem, saw your post and figured i'd add to it too. I thought maybe it was a constant algae bloom that was forming and dying so i've been attacking it from that angle. found my phosphates were at least...

thanks for the reply! So far the past 3 years its basically stayed at 7.2 and doesn't change. same with TA being around 120 avg. i know thats considered "high" for a SWG but is in line with the overall range. i don't want to have to constantly put acid in to keep it down but i'm also unsure if...

thanks for the reply! would being covered overnight (roughly 12 hours) each day for 2 days plus 1 day of being covered for 24 hours be enough to drop the PH by .4? (7.6 from when i put the borax in to 7.2 today) Timeline is essentially Saturday - open all day with swimming, put borax in to...

hey all. i'm on my 3rd season of having a pool. been following the TFP method since the start. details of pool are in sig. for the most part things have been going well for me, have had some random incidents of water cloudiness pop up due to trying to strike the right balance of pump run time...

thanks! thats good to know! I asked the pool builder when i talked to him today if there would be any issues storing the liner for several years and he said "no". I was planning on storing it in the basement so it would at least stay temp and humidity controlled. my wife likes the idea of...

Talked to our pool builder today. Latham initially said there was nothing they could do because it wasn't a warranty issue. Pool builder kept talking with them and they let me know today that Latham decided to go ahead and replace the liner for us as a courtesy 😮 they were very adamant that it...

So you are thinking its just "natural" wrinkling thats happening and not an indication of some larger issue like a tear/leak and water getting behind the liner?

Hey all! We are on our 2nd season with our vinyl liner pool. We noticed a few weeks ago that some significant wrinkles had formed on our tanning ledge. We took a picture and sent it to the pool builder, they sent a couple of guys out who had no idea and said they would need to send someone else...
