I'm curious to know how did you end up securing the winter cover. I'm in process of building a parcial deck at the end of my 18'X33' AG and I'm not sure how to go about securing the winter cover. I wonder if I could install the brass anchors that they use on IG pools on the decking boards. Thanks!

Nice job. Would you please tell me how you plan to secure the winter cover? I'm in process of building my deck and wonder how to deal with the cover and skimmer access. I found some ideas, like collapsible round anchors (brass/SS), but they're expensive, around $10.00 ec. as far as the skimmer...

Hi, just do the bucket test as fallow: 1-Fill a bucket with the pool water , no matter which size, place it near the pool, on a +- level ground. 2- MAKE SURE it receive he same amount of sun light as the pool does. 3- Mark the water level on the pool and on the bucket. 4- Next day, or 2 days...

I got now. I had the 50 ppm borax goal in my head, 824 oz according to my water volume (14.500gl). How long should i wait to test the water, than add the rest of the borax, 288 oz according to the poolmath to bring the PH to 7.4. Thanks!

I though about the PH been low, but wasn't sure how much the borax will raise it. Whiling waiting for your response, i did dump 9 boxes of it (689oz) if my math still working properly. I add 1/2 gal of acid to in case. Keep the pump running? or stop it until I add the rest of the borax? And how...

Prior to add Borax: I think I lowered the AL too much (40ppm) from 90. Here is how I did it: After chlorinated the pool to 6 ppm FC, brushed and vacuumed the pool to waste, tested the water last evening, FC 6.0 PH 7.5, TA 90, CYA 40, TH 230. Pump ran all night. Shut it off wait a our, dumped a...

Could I placed the solar cover on the pool right after shocking it? Thanks!

Thanks! To shock the pool, should i use the liquid Clorox 8.25%? Or use the powder package that I have left from las season? i don't have to use it, if you think will mess up the water going to the BBB method and adding the 50ppm borax. Thanks again!

Total agree. Also, the motor last longer and more cost efficiency.

Hello every one! I intent to open my pool today (NY) and i like to add Borax (50ppm) to my 14.500 gallon AG pool. I know what to do and how to used both products, borax and muriatic acid to keep the PH at normal levels. I learned all here, thanks to you guys. The only question that i have is...
