Show us a pic looking down at the surface you want to pressure wash.
I attached 6862 and also zoomed in to highlight the discoloration; it's an old image from when I bought the house ~8 months ago, but that green discoloration is what I'm curious about cleaning. I tried scrubbing it with a brush to no effect. I've tried monitoring its copper levels but it also didn't make a change.
I think it's important for me to say this pool was disgusting when I bought the house (You can see on the right side). I did follow a lot of the guidance on this website, and started going faux chemist mode every morning. By the end the water quality was amazing on tests, but I still couldn't get rid of that green scathing in the sundeck. (I still don't know WTF to call that)
Show us pics of the liner folds.
I can once I re-open it. While I owned it, the water never got low. The folds are extremely tight creases; I can barely see them but I can feel them easily. It looks like what I see when I look up pressurization and liners.
I don't think you move jets. If you want to add returns to your liner pool that is a trenching and plumbing job independent of filling in the kiddie pool.
Well the sundeck has two jets (I think is the word?) going into them so if I filled it, I would have to move them. Or I guess you could close them off and then all my returns go into the main tub, but I do like the idea of the waterfall
if it is not the cause of this folding.
Lots of spraying in the crevices is all you can do. What you have is a poor design. It should be smooth tile that does not provide nesting areas. Rip out the bricks and tile it.
Yea, poor design is def what I'm learning about this pool. I will likely rebuild it all in 5 years if I keep the house. I'll keep just spraying the heck out of it, until I decide what to do.
I think your concern should be relying on a pool service.
Yea, I knew I'd get that from here. I will say I only relied on them from closing; this is my first ever pool and while I figured I could figure out the chemistry piece quickly, the closing felt too big of a risk for me to take on last minute. Maybe next year. (I dunno how to evict pipes, pump, what to remove, how to close off inlets). And yes, I am absolutely relying on THEM having done it right as well, which I am a bit concerned about.
Usually pipes are trenched along the sides of the pool and there are minimal runs under the pool. However there is no telling what a builder may have done.
Got it, I will wait to address that if I have too.
If you want to discuss the timer then open the timer and expose the wiring inside and post pics of it.
I will see if I can do that this weekend; I don't know the answer to any of your questions but I assume I can figure some of it out by model numbers etc.
Appreciate your help - I am trying to be the responsible pool owner, but a lot of this is hard to understand what I should be asking. A "What you don't know, you don't know" situation. The pump setup is a good example - I've taken a bunch of serial numbers and googled but outside of playing with the valves I still don't really know what they do/should do.
