Thank you!

I don’t even know if there are any down there, my main concern at this point is taking a pool cover off if there is freezing weather and if that would be bad for the vinyl liner

I had a roof replaced and they weren’t being careful when tossing the old material down and it fell on to my solid tarp pool cover. That included nails and shingles... I noticed water was pooling on the top and then I saw there were two dime sized holes and and one half dollar sized hole. I...

Thank you, my hole is underwater and the black tape would look pretty bad in there.

So I’ve been having trouble finding someone to come repair it, either they are booked up or don’t offer the service. Is this something I can do by myself? Or should I wait to have a professional do it ? I feel like waiting may create more issues with the liner.

Here are some pictures

Ok I just did that with a 25 pound weight on it, any other ideas? once it’s repaired, are you able to get the water out from under it?

I just found a quarter size hole on bottom of pool, I noticed it because I found water underneath the liner. It’s Sunday night so I’m curious if there is anything I could do right now to stop the damage or will it be fine if I wait until tomorrow to call a repair company.

Hi - the gasket for my strainer basket for my pool pump is deteriorating. I have a super pump SP-1601-Z1-M. I can’t seem to find the rubber gasket anywhere online. How do i find this replacement part ?

Thanks!

when I replaced the liner I noticed that I had a very small leak around one of my return jets. I had a guy come out 2-3 years ago to fix something else and he put some sort of caulk adhesive around it. This stopped the leak I can see that the caulk is now peeling away and need to replace. Any...

bump

Thanks Maddie, roots can definitely be the problem. Wondering if anyone else has any thoughts?

I posted a couple of years ago that I've been having some issues with protrusions on my liner.

Thank you for the response! So instead of using a coupler and gluing to splice the pipe, I would use the union? Also, does the type of glue used matter? I have thought about the housing being damaged too and will check when i get back from work, but I am hoping the housing thread plastic was...

I made a big mistake earlier this week by leaving my filter setting "closed". I was careless and didn't move it to "filter" after "rinsing". When the pump turned on the next day, the pressure cause the male threaded connector on the flexpvc pipe to pop off the pump, dethreading the male...

Thanks again, this is good stuff. Will be buried in clay soil. However it wont be buried in concrete and I do have a chipmunk problem, but not near skimmer or shed where water pump goes. Sounds like flex makes sense in this application?

Pat - thanks for this response. I am typically a DIY'er but I have a deck that I am in the process of fixing. I pulled the deck in that area so once I put back together in the next few weekends I wont want to revisit that fix if I mess something up! He mentioned using a flexible pipe as...

Hello - I noticed a lot of bubbles in my pump and return jet when the skimmer line is open. I have one skimmer and one main drain. When just the main drain is open there are no bubbles. I think it is my skimmer line. Any other possible reasons that could cause this? I had my pool guy check...

A couple of them were there last year, they are rock hard. Definitely too cold right now!

Hi everyone, popped off the pool cover today and noticed some more of the tennis ball shaped bulges. What the heck could be causing these? The liner is only a few years old. The last one was like 12 years old and there were no bulges at all. Definitely not an issue with roots here. I am so...

Guys - awesome information here. Thanks for the time you put in to the responses. Definitely planning on having a licensed pool company install, just wanted to have some background information to be more informed during process. I did not realize the shed had to be vented, will make sure the...

I am reading some negative things about raypak with their limited warranty and it being voided by unbalanced water claims. I see some Pentair units having good reviews with 2 year warranty, which is definitely appealing. Thoughts on Pentair?

Thanks for the input! Definitely natural gas.

Can anyone recommend a gas pool heater to heat my pool? I see raypak and Hayward as brands on Amazon and it looks like Hayward has more reviews, but would love some feedback from owners on this site! Also, what size should I get? 350k?

wow what a relief!!! thanks again for your input!!!

So you can patch an area that big, like 3inches around? I have never had to patch before so curious if that would be a legitimate option. Just trying to alleviate any unnessecary stress because the last liner set me back quite a bit!

thanks for the input Isaac, I am hoping whatever it is miraculously goes away. I am afraid its going to poke thru my liner and if that happens there is no way I will be able to replace it again.

There are trees in the lot next door but this bump is on the side closest to house so I doubt that's the issue. It would have to go all the wayunderneath the pool and pop out on other side. And even then the tree is pretty far away from the pool

I just opened my pool and I noticed a protrusion in the liner of my pool. I had this liner installed within the last 3 years. The protrusion is on the bottom of the pool on the angle down to the deep end. I didn't really notice it in the past, so I think this may be new. It looks to be about...
