This is a good idea... Thanks!

The pool is not buried! I appreciate the extra advice. I do have waders, and will be going in to get up close and personal with it. I have many nets, a couple manual vacuums, and a shop vac. We'll be gettin it nice and clean. Why would the liner shrink at night? I thought the warm weather is...

Awesome. I feel MUCH more confident about this project. Cheers all!!

Thanks, Newdude! So assuming I drain it out to about 18inches, and then shop vac all of the leaves and gunk out of the bottom, I should be good? When I start filling the water back up, do you suggest I start slamming, or wait for the pool to be full again and the filter running? My pool has a...

Hey all... this post will likely make a few of you shake your heads at me, and for that I apologize. However - there is no where better for me to ask. TL;DR - How serious of a risk in damaging my liner am I facing if I drain my pool, deep clean it, and refill it in the same day? Full story -...

So, IF I leave everything as is... do you think I am at risk of any dangerous explosions? That is my only fear. Since we paid the electrician already I don't want to make that worthless....

Okay. Cool. Thanks. For the record, I don't have any PVC pipes really.. it's all the hoses. But as of now I don't have any leaks - though the bottom of the filter where the drain plug is has a slow leak, but it always has. I put new plumber tape on in the spring but it didn't stop it. For...

Honestly, if I were to do anything it would be buy a new sand filter. It's over five years old at this point. Besides wearing my filter out faster - do I run any risk of my filter exploding or anything? Also - I can't tell what my filter is. All of the labels are sun damaged. We bought the...

This makes me feel better. So in it's current state I could leave it as is?

Hey all. So, my pump died last Wednesday. Ordered a new one and it came on Friday. I am an idiot and know nothing about electricity - old was 110V, new 220V. Electrician came Tuesday and ran a new line, so now the new pump is locked in and ready to go. Everything works great, but after...

I absolutely will.. need to let my finances settle a bit first haha.

Alrighty gang. Pool is crystal clear. Chemicals balanced. We got to use it this weekend and yesterday. I will be done with this post and start a new one if I run into additional questions. Thank you all so much for your help over these grueling weeks. I appreciate you all.

This is wonderful news. I will get some of that! THANK YOU!

It's not easy to see in the pics, but I snagged these this AM before heading to the office. I will try to get a sample of the material after work. The reason I thought it was algae and not sand is when I brush it, it doesn't move like I would suspect sand would - it clouds up and disperses...

I hope that's the case. If it's sand does that mean my filter has a crack? I'll jump in there tomorrow to try and grab some

Pools completely clear, but I think I have mustard algae really bad on the bottom. That or sand...

The pump is plugged into an outlet under the deck. So far, it's started working again but I suspect I need to plan for it fully breaking in the future.

It looks like it's part 62018 for the pump itself. I did some digging, and it looks like maybe a Rocker Switch, Dpdt, 6 Connections is what I need? Am I safe to order one from Amazon, or do I need to find one with a water proof housing?

Alright guys... new problem... Went out this morning to check the skimmer basket and the switch wouldn't work on the pump. I finally got it to turn off, but now I can't get it to turn back on... It's that yellow globby looking thing in the front. Any ideas/suggestions? I am 100% not an...

I CAN SEE THE BOTTOM OF THE POOL! WERE FINALLY CLOSE!!
