    Roots growing under the liner? (With pics now)

    Our pool came with our house and I always thought that this pool was just not installed correctly. The bottom of it is extremely wrinkly / folds / pits and valleys, etc. My question is, is it ok to see what looks like systems of roots making their way around the bottom? (Look like lightning...

    Yikes! There is a ton of water on my AGP cover.

    Did I install it incorrectly last year? I get out there to look at it (things finally melted here in Buffalo) and there is a TON of water on the cover. It has to be 2 feet deep at spots.

    New Pool owner: Vacuuming the pool. Is it hooked up right?

    Let me start by saying that I just bought a house and it came with an Above ground pool. I have never had to take care of one, but me being the person that I am, took it as a quest to turn it from green to clean. (The lady at the pool store knows me by name now.) So, it came time to vacuum...
