just one i know of...acid rain. make sure you test and keep your water balanced and you'll be fine
Hmm, have you looked into a barrel of rainwater lately? It was probably green. Rain water that has come off of a roof or gutters has a lot of contaminants in it. And why would you want to add water to the pool if it is raining?
k
I would be inclined to agree that there is a slightly better chance of picking up the odd algae problem, However I do know one guy that has a rainwater tank that he used for topping up the pool his toilets and his washing machine He reckons he has no problems to speak of ant he never pays excess water rates. Every time I see his pool it looks great

How can you determine what your inground pool surface is What is gunite?
Gunite is covered with plaster. It is sprayed on concrete sorta. They mix it in the hoses and it is blown on. You can go to youtube and see them gunite a pool. I am only aware of plaster, vinyl or painted pool surfaces. The vinyl is just like thin rubber.
For inground pools is liner gunite concrete or fibreglass best?
Our experience shows that gunite or fiberglass are good. Gunite would probably last the longest. CONCRETE tends to crack over years with normal ground shifts. Had two pools with concrete, so many cracks after 10 years, buried the thing, the repair costs were astronomical.

What is a vinyl lined inground pool?
An inground pool is typically lined with either gunite (concrete), fiberglass, or vinyl. Gunite and fiberglass are roughly the same cost, whereas vinyl is considerably cheaper. With the lower price comes less durability, as vinyl lining has to be replaced every 8-10 years or so, whereas the other two can last for decades. Vinyl is also much easier to puncture or otherwise damage. That said, many people still prefer vinyl inground pools due to the lower cost.
Once a gunite pool is converted to a vinyl liner pool can you convert it back to being a gunite pool I live in the Panhandle of Florida and have no problem with ground water?
If it was working ok before you lined it and you have no problems removing the liner you should have no problems.
What is the cost of a vinyl or gunite in-ground pool in the Chicago area and are the quotes you have received for 35k and 55k too much?
In the Chicagoland area a small, basic inground pool will cost between $20,000 and $50,000. Some of the larger, deeper and more high-end inground pools can cost as much as $100,000. One of the most difficult aspects of planning for an inground pool is estimating the total cost. There are several variables that affect the overall cost of building and maintaining an inground pool, including the size of the pool and the material will comprise it.
