Thanks for the input, I'll remove today and look at replacing

We bought a new home and redid the pool that was a swamp. Once we got it cleaned I bounced fairly hard on the board and heard a crack. I weigh about 185lb. Now it looks like the board slants to one side pretty hard. I was thinking about trying to brace it but not sure if it's worth even trying...

Haha, I don't trust myself enough to take responsibility for someone else's liner, but definitely would assist someone if ever asked.

SOrry, I have not been updating as regularly as I planned. I got the pool clear enough to see the bottom and discovered a decent sized hole in the liner. I was originally having trouble finding a liner big enough but ended up going with Dohenys again. The liner was reasonably priced and...

I meant to post these the other day. Previous owner left 2 full test kits barely used. I have no idea how old they are, but do these go bad over time?

Thank you! That is a good question, I actually had a pool company come out and look at it. He pulled on it and said it still had a good bit of flexibility left in it. He recommended dropping water level and trying to get the liner back in the rail before spending the money on a new one. He said...

Thanks for the advice, I was wondering how often to add bleach. I have been buying chlorine from the local pool store. It is actually much cheaper and higher concentration. I have a test kit that the owner left here but no idea how old it is considering the pump hadn't worked in years. I plan on...

Forgot to mention the equipment I ended up going with, I remeasured the pool and came up with 28k gallons. Harris 3HP Variable Speed Pump - Harris 72522 ProForce Inground VS Variable Speed Pool Pump, 1.5 HP Harris 31" Sand filter - Doheny's Sand Filter Tank with Valve, 31 in Circupool RJ45 -...

Closing for delayed a couple times but we finally made it on April 1st. House was a disaster. Spent first 2 weeks throwing out previous owners hoard, ripping up carpet/tile, and laying new floors but finally got back and pressure washed and started on pool. I have gotten the new pump and...

Thank you all for the detailed replies. I will research all of the automation stuff later today! I will look more into the SWG's recommended. It is all overwhelming right now so I am trying to do everything right without taking shortcuts or buying subpar equipment. I looked at those review of...

Thanks Kim, and yes that is something me and my wife have already been thinking about "kid-proofing" the pool. We have deadbolts on the back and kids have never messed with windows, but we want to replace the deadbolts with ones that require a key from the inside. We are definitely looking at...

I'll research the SWG more, I want to do it right the first time if I can but I'm new to all this and trying to find best deals I can. Also is there somewhere I could look to research pool automation? I hadn't considered that but not sure what automation features are needed/available? If that...

I was curious about that, it does way to cheap compared to others. Should I stick with more known brands?

I like that idea. I was just nervous about the DE Filter, but mainly because I've never looked into them before

Hello everyone, I posted in the construction section about my future pool but thought I might come here for equipment recommendations. We are closing on the house next Friday and I'd like to get the pump, filter, and swg on order. I know for sure the pump doesn't work and no telling when the...
