Hi, late in the season last year I noticed I was losing an inch or so of water a week. After looking around, I found a couple holes in the liner forming where the metal part of the pool walls are joined together (the liner is very tight and stretched out in that section due to the rivets that...

Hi, I tested the pool water today through the skimmer (still covered w/ mesh cover and leaf net) and here are the results: FC: 1 CC: .5 Ph: 7.2 TA: 80 Temp: 61 I am just so busy for the next week at least, so don't know how quick I can get to opening it up...so I was just wondering what you...

:goodjob: :goodjob: :goodjob: :goodjob: :goodjob: :goodjob: Needless to say, I was quite happy to see this! Not too shabby for the first time I've ever closed or opened a pool :) Thanks BBB method and TFP!! Here are my numbers after uncovering, without adding chemicals yet: FC= .5 CC=...

Hi, our pool was installed last year in July, so we didn't have time to do much besides getting the pool itself up (and that was a pain, but hopefully in the past)... but I was able to get a decent backfill around the pool. Our pool/yard is at the bottom of our road, thus we receive a lot of...

and now I need to drain my pool down a few inches because we got poured on overnight! Go figure, I just finished filling it up to the skimmer yesterday too (they didn't forecast this much rain...grr!) Anyways, since I just added stabilizer to the skimmer last night, if I were to set my...

**WILL RANT LATER** Installers were out yesterday to replace my half-year old liner (had a tear from their last installation). Started filling it up yesterday evening and it was about 3/4 full this evening when my wife noticed the beaded liner had come off in two spots. We have stopped...

Currently, my skimmer does not seem to be bringing in much at all, in regards to leaves, bugs, etc. Throughout the whole day, I may only accumulate 4-5 items in my basket, but there are always a bunch of small things still going around in the pool (sweat bees, small leaves for example). I...

Hi, I had a new pool installed a couple weeks ago, but want to focus on the negative items first. -Liner tear around return jet: Before filling the pool, they cut the return in, as normal. Once the water began filling and tightening the liner to the walls, the cutout around the return started...

Before the dig (after one month delay due to rain) ----------- After digging for about half the day in mud, then more rain on the way! ----------- After peeling back the tarps...can't hold all the water back (yes, that's my shop vac) :( ----------- The shop vac cleaned up most the big...

Out of curiosity, is it normal for an installer to wait atleast 2 days after a good rain, to install their next pool? Are they worried about tearing up the yard or would they rather work with dirt when excavating? Or, is that BS? Reason being is that my wife is doubting their installation...

Hi, hopefully getting my pool installed soon (you may have seen my "rain rain go away" rant last week...it's still an issue). Decided to try out the TF-100 kit though on my tap water. Do these numbers look legit? CL= 1 (left side of tester) PH= 8.2 (right side of tester) FC= 1 (2 drops) CC=...

Anyone else suffering installation woes? Ours was suppose to be installed last Wednesday, but due to rain, the other 8 installs in front of us got partially delayed. It was rescheduled to this Wednesday, but that appears like it will not happen with rain over the weekend, and very good chances...

Hello everyone, great information posted in here...I think I killed a tree today printing out a bunch of posts on chemicals, tips, etc. The above ground pool I ordered is a 27', 52" high, 16,420 gallon capacity (according to my flyer). It is to be installed within a couple weeks; so just...
