smell

You should post a full set of numbers for us to take a look at. It is hard to diagnose and treat problems without them.

Well it seems mother nature corrected the liner scum buildup. We had some rain so I guess it knocked it off. Funny I sprayed it with the hose and that did not seem to want to remove it.

The debris collected in various pockets on the deck side of the pool. I read a tip here on another thread about using the manual vacuum head and just letting the water siphon out to remove the fine stuff and not send it into the filter. That worked great! Very little impact on water loss rather than using the pump through the waste of the filter valve. I'm glad I saw that tip!

That is one of the main reasons this forum works; people learn from reading about the experiences of others!

Good job. Did the smell go away?

I was in it yesterday with a scrubber getting the little bit of remaining stuff the rain didn't remove I did not notice any smell. The upper portion of the liner looks much better.

Forums like this are great tools for DYI'ers! I work on all kinds of things and forums are my first source for info. Often I can find the same situation posted and if I get lucky the solution as well. Its a great time saver.

Glad it's resolved.

Nearly all homeowner pools develop the same problems eventually and you're right, with a little bit of searching you can generally find a solution or at least get some good ideas to try.
