Swim maybe?
It is normal for the sides to bow to the middle of the pool, as the pool fills the sides will right themselves by the weight of the water, it happened to me but it is normal.
Yes, I have used it for more than 5 month(total) now. The important part is how powerful your pump is. I am using the 1500 GPH pump.
There are 4,264 gallons of water per each foot of depth for the pool. You must make your calculation based on the depth of the pool now that you have the above info.
Our pool has been over filled with water and is now got water under it with bubles, i just put it in, can it be repaired or do I need to have one reinstalled????
Muratic acid or Sulfaric acid
Wow what a tough question! This is a real head scratcher. After consulting with other Guru's here on top of the 3-meter diving tower here is what we came up with. One of the issues here may be that the leak may not be on top of the inflatable ring but underneath and/or at the seam where the ring meets the wall of the pool, which will make it awkward to apply the soap and water mix. So try this. Mix a soap and water solution in a 4 to on mixture. 4 parts soap and 1 part water. Then try applying it with either a spray bottle or on a very wet rag up under the ring on both the inside and out side of the pool. Now for the catch, you really do not want to get this mixture into the pool or the water will start to foam when it is agitated so try to keep the solution getting into the pool to a minimum. We all feel this is really your best bet. The other options buy a new Intex pool or buy a hard wall above ground pool, but these are very expensive options soap is much cheaper!
eye dint now Well, you probably could, we have a pool and we mix chlorine and salt together for our water.
The pool pump does suck the water from the pool. Then it goes thru the filter and (if you use have the following) thru the heater and chlorinator then back into the pool. So - nothing will keep it from sucking water from the pool - but that's a good thing. Now - if you set the valve to a different setting - then it might actually send the water to a waste line - maybe that's what you meant. If that's the case -then the pool pump will eventually drain your whole pool if you have it set to get the water from the bottom drain (another valve).
If it worked before and the leaf basket is not blocking things up and the pump motor seems to be working you may have to see if there is not something wrong with the impeller against the pump.
Assuming you have a chlorine generator and actually need to add salt, the amount is determined by the manufacturer of the device you purchased. Looking in the instruction manual will tell you what the required sodium level is for your particular unit (somewhere around 3,000 ppm is typical). Then you must test the water to see what the sodium level is currently. The difference is what needs to be made up. It takes roughly 25lbs of salt per 1,000 gallons of water to go from zero to 3,000 ppm. So you need about 112 lbs if your 4,500 gallon pool is at zero ppm now. Pool & Spa
Sure you can turn off the pool pump, the water won't be circulating anymore but since you are not using the pool it does not matter. Make sure the outside temperature is above freezing until winterizing because non moving water freezes earlier than moving water. Here is my blog on how I handle my pool: http: //live-efficient-green.blogspot.com/2009/07/pool-with-no-harmfull-chemicals.html
You can't remove minerals in water either by filtering ( with standard pool filters) or "shocking" it. Run filter 24/7 until you are able to see the main drain at the bottom of the pool clearly then add your chlorine. You may have to do this (24/7 routine) each time you add large quantities of new make up water.
