I'm in my first summer season with the new pool and having way more water loss than I was planning. I think the problem is that we've had little rain and have been consistently between 95-100 for weeks (with no end in sight) Is there anything I can do to mitigate this? Has anyone used the...

I guess I need to run a new test. Total newbie here. We just had a major repair and stopped heating for the season. My vendor does testing with the expectation of buying chemicals with them. Is it hard to do personal testing that is as effective? They seem to run theirs through a computer...

We are starting to have days that have highs in the mid-50s and lows in the 40s. When should I drop the first chlorine tablet?

The whole liner came out and was reused. I don't see any flaws in the liner. The primary repair was in the deep end with a major crack repaired. They resealed the whole of the pool though, and smoothed out the bumps and divots that had formed.

Finally had the repair. The primary concrete needed to be redone. They used a different type to hold back ground water. Looks better now, hoping it will hold. Of course it turns out they didn't install enough drains or returns for our setup, but that's not something that can be easily remedied.

Thank you, that's what I was suspecting. On the one hand, at least it's still their problem. On the other hand, if they don't think to re-order the vinyl before starting, we may be looking at a concrete hole again for some weeks. I just want it right. I appreciate your help James, and I'm...

Thank you again. We are definitely "not right". I got in again last night with the goggles and there has been more deterioration in the last 24 hours along the bottom and even on the opposite side from the major issue. I suspect the contractor for the final phase of the project didn't do what...

Thank you, James, for your feedback. My understanding is that they will empty the pool and remove or partially remove the liner to repair. My bigger concerns are these: Will the repair take or will this problem persist and Are the other "imperfections" indicative of a problem. I don't care...

This is a brand new pool, the dig started in August. They did not hit water nor was water apparent to them when they did the initial dig. We dropped 2 feet with a retaining wall and then another 8 feet for the deep end. For a few weeks the concrete was in optimal weather conditions. Then we...

We opened our pool yesterday, but not before finding that the concrete in the deep end has already collapsed. Pool company is claiming that there must be a water source beneath. They intend to repair in a few weeks, but I want to be sure that they do what they need to do and we don't have a...
