Heated pool to 83 and jumped in. Scrubbed around main drain cover with toothbrush as I vacuumed it last night. All good to go! Happy swims everyone!

What do you mean rubber-ish? If it's on the skimmer line it should be a schedule 40 PVC pipe. If not, then what would it be? The fact it's only 3" below surface also seems wrong as well as it should be below frost line unless you don't have frost but should still be buried further down than that.

Open and was swimming till a cold front came in this week but at least we are up and going!

You can guy a snake fairly cheap. I bought one from a store at 75 foot and used it and it worked like a charm. They are handy for your home as well and would save on a plumber or in your case a pool business. Just my 2 cents

Hey everyone, my multi port Hayward valve cracked. I was lucky enough to have kept my old one and re pieced it all together. Also was smart enough to keep a spare spider gasket on hand. This is why have I keep spare parts on hand when you are no where near a Pool store that carries these things...

I chose a liner called : Key West Here is the attached link: Key West Its made from Tara Manufacturers and the product that they have is 20 mill. It fits great and my pool contractors are called My Aquatic Services and here is their link: My Aquatic Services | Pool Installation | Fargo, ND...

Few more pics during the liner installation:

I also thought I would put up a picture of what that one return line looked like before we were able to cut out the metal bushings that the idiots before us had screwed into the wall. Totally messed up mess for rust. The pool guy I have and I were able to cut it out working together and save...

Hi All, So here it is as promised. I will post a before and after pic of my upgrade to my liner pool. In my previous post last fall I put what all I was going to replace and do and below is listed what I actually did and then have yet to do. Thought I would share in case others would want...

Last thing now on the list is to repaint the whole patio with my nonskid paint and she will look like a million bucks. I am now contemplating re-doing my firepit area to include pavers or something so that people can enjoy the firepit in the evenings while swimming. That may come over the...

Key West from Tara Liners. Key West

Here are the final results. No virmiculite needed once we cleaned up the horrible trowel work that previous owners did and really the water is now sparkly clean. Turned out much better than anticipated which will hopefully result in some cost savings for sure. Enjoy the pics.

I have also read on here about various ideas and well points to take water pressure off the pool. I already have that with my sump pump in my house which is right next to the pool. The old liner was in for 15 years and had no issues at all with water behind the liner or such so I know the...

Pool project began. Tore out the old liner which was just shot. What we found underneath was not as bad as I first thought. The trowel job that they did for the vermiculite was bad. Some cracks and water is seeping which will not stop as that is just the way it has been here. The pool is 40...

Planning to open the pool this week. Warm winter and overall nice weather will allow me to open about 2 weeks early this year. Plan then is to have all my pool updates completed this year. My pool company is coming out to measure liner and get started on putting together a bid for the upgrade...

Getting closer to finally starting my liner replacement and a few other home remodel projects. One of those is replacing the patio by the house and Pool. That way the concrete drains away from the home. Since we purchased it in 2007, this has really bothered me so now we can fix it so when it...

I would french drain the whole back yard if possible so that the water heads toward like the street if at all possible. If not, a pump is possible in a basin with the plumbing headed to the street too. I have seen both work extremely well but if you do it; then now would be the time for sure...
