20 year old Double bubble liner pool

[SuevG]

We have, here in France, a 9 by 5m double bubble in ground liner pool which is well past its sell by date, but the company who built it, Crystal pools, no longer exists. This year I have battled storms and algae using cartridge filters which are too old and a liner which is also to old and loses 2 cms of water in 3 days. I have searched the Webb for filters and have finally found that spa Daddy has 6 of them but to post them from U.S.A. to France....! I am searching for alternatives and have discovered that pentair make them of the same diameter, but shorter. They of course are made for a closed filter system, mine is open, but I can buy them in France, so I have bought 2 to try them. I was reading your replies to someone with a cloudy pool and white slime. My sister chucked in floculant before she left for England, so I could see my problem! I have to keep working with what I have, as I am an old retired woman who can not afford to start again as the pool "expert" that I called recommended (for a mere 30,000 euros). I would happily grow flowers in the space but my children and grandchildren who liked to holiday before Covid and hope to again next year, love the pool. It is such a comfort to see that I am not the only person who has a blue cloudy pool which refuses to clear completely. It is slowly getting better, but the deep end still has sediment which likes to collect there. When it is clearer I will find a scuba diver to repair my holes. I have found them but can't hold my breath long enough to glue patches on them. I will keep reading with interest.

Welcome to TFP. I cant really help with your filter carts but maybe you could get one of the kids to swim down n patch your holes. It's hard to stay down there because the body likes to float.

Hi
Have you had any success finding replacements? We have the same Chrystal pools double bubble setup.

@stewartvm, the poster you question has not returned to TFP since 2021. Perhaps your post will alert @SuevG to your question if she has that alert option chosen in her settings?
