vinyl pool

So I bought a house with a chlorine pool that has Vinyl liner. It is attached to Sand filter and and pentair variable speed pump. There are 3 PVC lines connected to the pump. Skimmer, Main, and Well point. I was told that since i live in a low country in SC with a high water table and clay...

Hoping that the TFP silverbacks can help with some advice on this one. I bought a 20x36x8 hydra vinyl pool with 48" steel walls. Just finished the excavation more or less, it was nearly ALL rock and mostly a nightmare. The problem is that there is no "ledge" of earth that is needed to set the...

First timer here. Put up our free to us above ground pool in April, 16'X48" and bought a nice 2 bag sand filter to keep it clean. Decided on using the AquaSilk system. I also added a solar cover and a solar panel. I am in Oregon and we only get about 3 months of swimming weather if we are lucky...

I have an new pool, roughly 5212 gallons with a SWG (Intex) My question is do I need to create my own FC first before starting up the SWG so it doesn't have to work as hard? or get my CYA levels to 70 min (recommended for salt based on other threads I have found) and start the SWG according to...

Hello, I’ve been receiving quotes for 18x36’ Mnt Lake vinyl pool. Below is from a builder we trust, and they are the only ones to actually give us a design (other just spoke construction). Which actually is close to what we want in our yard. Not much detail in regards to equipment (Hayward)...

Greetings, Creating my first post to TFP. I’ve been reading and researching many posts for a while and haven’t come across anything regarding licensing. What has your experience been with a PB who is licensed and one who is not? Good, bad? We are currently in the stage of interviewing and...

Hello, I’m new to this website and desparte for some advice! We just took the cover off our in-ground vinyl pool to find that some of the the liner came off the track. We thought we could fix it, but it’s impossible cause it’s so short, I don’t know if it shrunk. We are using hot water to pull...

So I’m just looking for some clarification or insight if there are other things I should be worried about now or even down the road. We are getting a vinyl pool installed. Around 925sq ft salt water lagoon shape with sun shelf. Last week they came to start pump. Then muddy water started...
