My old liner lasted 22 years. Unbelievable. But it was rice paper at that point lol. Going on 9 years since it was replaced.

Often behind the liner in the shallow side is a serial number, that can be used to cut a new one. Also need the brand. It's that or it gets custom measured for a bit more.

Waiting for an expert to chime in but that doesn't seem right and I would not sign any paperwork that it's ok as is.

That's pretty much impossible for a pump motor that's both grounded & bonded. Canada code has bonding to the sub panel ground.

It makes no difference. A puncture would still happen with either. Not worth the extra in my opinion, when I had it replaced.

Seems normal. I had to do a major water replacement some years back and it was green like that for about 2-3 days then it was blue, normal.

Lol I know the home I own/live in now sat with no offers because the pool was in similar shape, except there was no debris. I was so excited to get it and rehab. But that's very rare in a buyer.

Your liner was probably a tight fit. Mine is too. I have a very small section like that. Not quite pulled out as much. But it's right next to the screws that hold the rope thingy on (to divide the shallow end from the deep end) so it's not a worry since it can't go any further out. Fortunately...

Mine was rubbed off and unreadable. Serial numbers are often found on the back side in the shallow end.

I had that with my install, only it happened on the shallow side. Same weather conditions on install day. I sent photos to Latham and they said they would honor any warranty issues. It was just stretched a lot. Didn't pop out on filling it. It's amazing how much a new liner can stretch...

Ugh I hear you. New neighbors on the other side of my immediate neighbor. They leave the dog out in the backyard and if I go in my backyard and make any noise, the dog hears it and respond. Very annoying. This area was dead silent for years before they moved in.

Well at least it's not blue, it would probably look worse. Seeing so many new plaster jobs with bad mottling in blue, I don't think I'd do anything but white, if my pool was plaster.

Having owned a pool that was painted by a previous owner, trust me when I say it is not worth it. Everytime you brush, or have guests over the water will slightly cloud up with paint particles. My backwash was always white colored from the paint. Save up for a plaster job.

I'm surprised to hear Ecofinish isn't responding. There's a former installer on this forum named BDavis. Maybe send him a pm. See if he can offer any advice.

I'm sure Casey's fence is up to code. The installer would not have used it, if it wasn't.

Ya those angles on the steps are crazy!! Steps are supposed to be flat. Totally unacceptable imo.

The open square looks like a temporary relief hole, to let ground water through, so the shell doesn't pop out. Pretty sure.

I had a good friend and his father try to argue with me about diving being ok, even with my sign on the fence saying otherwise. I told them: "you can tell that to my insurance company." Meanwhile, obey the rule.

Mine is 7ft deep. When the liner was replaced I was given a fence sign: No Diving.

Oops mispost. Mod feel free to delete

Could be a big issue. Generally not recommended. Do you have a main drain with a hydrostatic valve? You would want that to be opened, if you have one. Any idea how deep the water table is?

One thing I've noticed, even when a pool looks small, it actually seems bigger, when you're in it.

Every skimmer has to be at the same height. Period. I'd make them fix it.

Does it not have a float switch to pump out water when it reached a certain height? That's what I'd want if I had to have one.

Nice. Installers put back all the liner lock pieces in mine and almost the entire liner is locked in. Every first swim day of the year I get in and go around to push back in any that have come out ever slightly. A firm shove with 2 fingers works. It boggles my mind when I see just a few or no...

I have that setup. 7ft deep. Had a 9 foot deep diving well previously. I miss it. But the smaller current pool is definitely easier to maintain.

Awesome. I miss my solar setup from the last house. If you get 8-10 degree F rise on the return jets on a clear sunny day, your golden. That's how mine worked.

This company isn't mentioned often but they make a great panel kit and was one the first companies to offer them. I had these at my first house /pool. They were well out of warranty and still operating rock solid. http://www.solarindustries.com/

How annoying. The rope anchors, I could be wrong but I think are required by law. Safety feature for children to isolate them from the deep end.

Always like seeing these. Someone else just finished their digout & restoration recently.
