    Can I close my pool without draining below the skimmer?

    Just concerned if water could get behind the liner track as that's still on the inside portion of the pool just below the top of the wall.

    Can I close my pool without draining below the skimmer?

    I use an aquador and plug the return. Water is not able to go through the aquador and I'm sure the level would rise above it. The liner is also tucked on the inside of the pool near the rails at the top (6 inches or so from the top of the wall). That's why I'm concerned with water getting...

    Can I close my pool without draining below the skimmer?

    I've read all that in the past but curious to hear from members who haven't drained any water when covering the pool and leaving it be over a cold winter. I live in the N.E. I would like to know if water can/will get behind the liner if done that way.

    Can I close my pool without draining below the skimmer?

    Aquador won't seal.

    Aquador won't seal.

    I used pool seal around my Aquador and it still leaks very slowly. Maybe a couple drops in an hour. Will a new one seal better?

    Blackbirds/Grackles

    This time of year again. These evil things are dropping it in and around the pool, on the asphalt driveway, and even on the cars. Sick of this every year. Has anyone actually figured out a way to get rid of the Grackle?

    Grackles - Blackbirds

    This has been a major problem every year since I've had my pool. The grackles are out there in full force in my yard. See them dropping that mess in the pool every 30 minutes. Has anyone beaten this behavior yet? Nasty every spring.

    How to remove copper bars in Intex SWG

    Instead of using silicone, couldn't you just replace the two rods back into the hole after removing the bars? Wondering if they would leak that way or not. I have an intex also and am glad you provided this.

    Winter cover for Above Ground pool

    I didn't cover mine either last year. I will this year though because just about every week, I was constantly fishing out debris and leaves. I think it's more work to leave it uncovered. Another issue was early Spring. Pollen was also too much hassle prior to opening and starting for the...

    I wish Ma would allow them. They tell me anything over 3' in pool height requires footings in my area.
