    Pool Leak

    I suspected a leak all last season, but now that the pool is closed I definitely have a leak. My pool has lost water down to only about a foot of water in the pool since it was closed. So does it mean it's the liner, since everything is plugged and closed? So sad that the liner only got 6...

    Pool numbers before closing

    My pool closing is scheduled for this Thursday. I noticed last year they put in 4 gallons of 12.5% chlorine (yes I should have asked before they did anything last year). I suspect that is why I'm seeing significant fading on the bottom of my vinyl liner when I opened this summer. The liner...

    Power problems after pool liner replaced

    We just had our liner replaced and the installer told us that the light hook up in the pool was bad and he couldn't get the chord pulled back through so he didn't hook it back up - I don't really have proof of what was wrong, I wasn't there and he called my husband about it. Then when we went...

    Just saying Hello

    Just wanted to take a minute to introduce myself, I'm new to TFP this year, have been a pool owner for 7 years and finally got tired of running to the pool store. We just replaced our vinyl liner in our IG pool, so I wanted to start off right with good water chemistry. Thankful for this...
