Mine did that same thing last year when I was filling it up. Definitely do not fill the pool overnight. Let the Sun beat on the liner and get warm, then fill it up. The buckle in our wall came right out when full and has been fine ever since.

Pool deck is almost complete! Still a few finishing touches to add, but it’s ready for the season. Just gotta get the steps put together now.

I did the electrical myself. My panel was probably overkill because I only have 1 out of 6 breaker slots used at the moment and I can’t see having much more to add. I did run 40amp 240v incase I ever wanted a heater or 240v variable speed pump. My feed wire is connected to the home panel via...

I’m doing AZEK brownstone for the whole thing. I guess it’s Timbertech now that they bought AZEK. I love the fully composite boards.

Framing all done! Next up, Composite decking.

Another progress update. Waters already at 72 degrees.

Starting work on the deck! I’ve been checking water parameters about every 2 or 3 days just to get everything balanced before swimming season.

Just updating this post for future reference. The pool wall is fine. Verified that all the blocks are within 1” of level. I think the problem was the liner was “fitted” well to the pool and we were filling when the liner was cool. Once the sun was on the liner, it loosened up. That, along with...

Do I need to get my chlorine level correct before adding salt to the pool? Not sure if there there’s an order of operations for getting the chemistry correct.

Couple of updated pictures. Put in a French drain around the entire pool to keep the erosion to a minimum. Finished plumbing up all the equipment. I was getting a lot of leaks around the threaded connections. I had a friend come check it out (who happens to be a service tech at Hayward). He was...

Ya good idea. I want to get the water to the right side where the yard slopes down. I think the edging around the pool will help to redirect some of that surface water around the pool too.

We had our first big rain since the pool has been up. Looks like there’s some water flow from the left to right of the yard (see picture). Our soil is clay and sand so there’s not a lot of drainage. I was thinking to put a French drain around the left half of the pool to give water a path to...

Pool is in and almost full! Everything came out great. Finished up the electrical panel and leveled out some equipment blocks. Now just need to get the salt system installed and then I can get the skimmer and return cut in!

Ya the water looks level and our patio stones are good too. I’m just getting nervous about every little thing because I’m a perfectionist hahaha. Thanks for the reply!
