Liner failed on my 15x30 oval, all water emptied out. Liner is not in the budget until my wife gets off furlough and more income starts flowing back in. The pool otherwise is in really good condition. Is there anything I can do to brace the walls for the winter so I don't end up losing the whole...
I have 20 gallons of 12.5 just itching to get in the game. :kim:
Im ready, I’m going to beat this swamp down.

Excellent call, was doing 25ml tests. No need right now.
I did this to myself. Cover blew off mid April storm and I had it in my head that I was going to replace the liner this year anyway. After some sage advice here and thoughtful consideration, I determined that my liner pulling away at the top in one section was not cause to redo the whole thing...
Leave well enough alone? I don’t want to overthink this. At functional full, it bothers me but no one else. My plan was a half drain of the swamp, refill and SLAM. I got nervous when it seemed to pull away in that area the more I drained. If only we could spot shrink loose liners (and beer bellies)
15x30 above ground pool. Purchased the pool via the home we bought 3 years ago. Pool was covered at time of closing and inspections but previous owners said whole pool was 4 years young. Had receipt for purchase but no installation receipt. Think they put it up themselves. From that opening the...
I came here last year after purchasing a home with a pool. Had somebody open the pool for me that first year, which consisted of dumping a gallon of algaecide and a couple gallons of "shock" in. Oh and he folded my cover up nicely. Wasn't too long before it started looking murky and green...
I have had good luck at Ollie's all year with Austin's pool "shock" its 12 or 12.5% for $2.49 a gallon. Just picked up 4 more today. So far so good on freshness this year. A couple bottles last year were old.
Was away yesterday for work, got home this evening and checked my chlorine per usual. Sitting at 6, happy times. Went to empty skimmer basket, and there is dead bird floating there. Removed said bird, but now I'm wondering if I should slam. And maybe change cartridges? I know birds can carry...

I think my brain must be wired like the OP. I initially winced at the contrast, and think I would prefer matching myself, but looking at it, it does do a nice job making the pattern on the side pop and certainly doesn't look hideous. It's actually a nice unique look.
Would something like this be safe?

Bought our house last May that has a 15x30 above ground pool. Caught on here, got hooked up on the BBB method, had a great year of swimming after replacing the neglected and defective sand filter/pump. Pool pump was run on extension cord all last year as that is how it was previously set up...
Previous owner was a jackwad...didn't winterize any of the equipment but did manage to throw a tarp over it held down by water pouches. No pillow but rather an inflatable floating chair. Needless to say this method worked and the pool was clear and mostly free from debris. As I now have a new...
When I purchased my test kit from the pool store, they told me to keep it stored at room temperature. I had a buddy of mine over to check levels while I was away on vacation for a few days and I forgot to mention to him to put it back in the house; so he stored the kit in my detached garage...
