    Got a new vinyl liner put in last Summer. This Summer put in a new robot purchased from a huge pool supply company in Long Island, NY Long story short, the robot has been cutting the liner. This is "only" where the walls of the pool meet at a 90 degree angle with the bottom of the pool. This...

    Pool tear at inlet

    Hello everyone! My wife Kim and I are new pool owners. We were gifted a Coleman 16’x48” used above ground pool last summer and we love it! Sadly with the NY winters not being very kind to us combined with our complete lack of knowledge of proper winterizing, we ran into a big issue. The pool...
