    I want to cry

    My Esther Williams 27 round just went poof after a crazy storm that came through. Never seen anything like this. It’s the only single piece all aluminum wall pool you can buy that I know of. What do fold recommend?

    Hardness test

    Thanks for the reply. I have tested the house well so I have baseline for that. It came back at 150-175 give the 25x6-7 drops. It was slightly blue at 6 drops and very blue at 7 so thinking about 160. How does this break down. I see talks about grains per gallon in other places. Is this...

    Hardness test

    Hi all, I have a tf-100 test kit along with R 7062-7065 solutions as the add on. My question is around water hardness. I have two different sources of water at my house. An artesian well along with my house well. I want to see the best way to test water hardness between the two of them to...

    catastrophic liner failure

    It would have been hard for something to have scraped it, since the pool had about a foot of ice on the top at the time it let go. My guess is that the cold caused the liner contract just enough to cause a weak spot to show up.

    catastrophic liner failure

    Well folks if you need to buy a new liner I can say that the customer service at GLI is top notch. Here is what I got back from them after just two days of reviewing my case. "I have a new liner shipping out to you this morning. Thanks for your patience in this situation." Thanks...

    catastrophic liner failure

    Well folks here is what it looked like until today. The patch I put on developed a weak seal on one spot and then it started to leak again. Well lets just say I got to watch 18,000 gallons exit stage left. The seam failure opened up more as a result of the water pushing the sand away. I will...

    catastrophic liner failure

    I came home yesterday to find the center of my pool cover about 18" lower then it should be. I walked down and took a look only to find that the pool must have some sore of catastrophic liner failure very low on the pool. The whole outside of the pool on the bottom 3 -5 inches is now solid...

    Hard water

    I live in the country and have hard water so over time as I have to add water to my pool it is going to raise the hardness of it. My question is does the BBB Method increase the hardness of water more then anything else or is it the best option...? What are the thoughts on this?

    Wisconsin Residents beware of Allied Pools & Spas

    Ouch. I hope Allied is watching this issue here at TFP. I am going to take my money to Baker instead of Allied in Appleton. Rhino lots of people jumping on your side here and places like facebook can all but force them to fix it. Good luck.

    To block or not

    I am going to be putting up a 27' round once I have my site level and the install plan shows to use a 2"x8"x16" block below each bottom plate on the 18 wall uprights of the pool. In talking with others that have had their pool professionally installed as recently as last week, their installer...

    What model is this pool

    Yep - tried that but their mailbox is full so I am not sure if I will get anything back. Took the pool down tonight and moved it home. Will need to buy about 5 new bottom track sections. Its very odd since something degraded them down to almost a powder in spots, but the wall is spot free...

    What model is this pool

    Thanks for the idea TizMe, but the dealer I thought would have sold the pool seems to have just recently gone out of business. Ugh.

    It is just one of those things so I know and can pin down how old it is in case I ever need a part and they are not all the same from model to model

    What model is this pool

    There is only one dealer local for that brand so calling and asking with that address is not a bad idea. I shall give that a go.

    What model is this pool

    Not getting a lot of help from the neighbors. Best they can guess it was new in 2000-2004. The previous owner is no where to be found. I was hoping that there would be some sort of marking on the pool that would give it away, but so far I have not found anything.

    Any online dealers lurking here?

    I am looking for a beaded metric liner for a Aqualeader 27 round. The true size is 13' 4". My local pool store sells Aqualeader and can get me one, but they only have one print style. I looked at it in the store last night and I can't use it. It is so busy that it makes my eyes spin. Email...

    Aqua Leader Pool Liner help

    Thanks for the reply. My local pool dealer said a standard 27' wouldn't fit though because the true size is 26' 8". e.g. you can stretch one, but can't shrink one. Does anyone know of an online place to buy a metric 27?
