I'm going to take a stab at this and say it looks like scaling. I can't help you but wanted to see if I was right. These guys should be able to help you out with this regardless though, keep at it. :)

So what your saying is that this is a bad idea. :lol: :lol: :lol: (I'm sure most of us have seen this but a shake my head every time I see it)

I think ,most would tell you to leave the nature 2 out (could off load it on craigslist). You could probably use the tablets for the remainder of season since you're in Illinois and will likely close before CYA would be an issue. Of course that depends on if the tablets you have are stabilized...

So you want one of these... http://www.intexstore.com/ProductDetail ... parts=list You'll notice they're out of stock :rant: which is what I discovered not two weeks ago when my Intex hose decided to start leaking. Since you can't order one, I made on out of ABS. I used a 1.5" FPT-1.5" Slip...

The builder putting the inground in next door to us has encased the flex pvc in the concrete footer as well as back filled with the clay from the hole (and let me tell you about the concrete style clay we have around here....). Some stone on top with a tamper and they'll be pouring the deck in...
