It was a thought. I do so like the clean look of the steps outside the pool area.

I was the recipient of a 27' above ground, round steel wall pool. I plan on setting it up in the next 2 weeks. A friend has a steel sided pool with concrete bottom, vinyl liner and thermoplastic resin steps. I was wondering if anyone has incorporated these type steps with this type pool. I do...

Thank you for the replies. I am hoping I can get away with a non metal top rail. Update on dimensions. 27 ft across and 52" sidewall and each top rail is just over 53". Everything is galvanized except for the post caps which are plastic. I am trying to get the installation documentation now...

I was given an above ground pool and have to take it down myself. I am pretty sure the top rails are galvanized and some of them have rust through pinholes. 1-Where can I purchase new ones? 2-Can I change over to non metal ones? I have no idea what types of pool it is. It is large, 19 sections...

Any one with any car is welcome to come. Let me reiterate, it is NOT a show, just a get together to make new friends and see old friends. My car doesn't look half as good as any you have posted. But, it is what I always wanted and it is mine. Beside, it isn't so much about the cars as it is the...

-------Fri pm------Sat am pH------7.5---------7.5 FC------7.5---------6.5 TA------240--------200 I didn't do the other tests for CH and CYA. Last CYA Friday morning was 70. Water is clear and has an awesome texture to it. Not slick like treated municipal water. It reminds me of water you find...

Thanks Dave, I will try that tonight.

I didn't test it last night. I will tonight. Pump 24/7 for almost 2 weeks. How will I go about getting the TA down? Also, what are ideal levels for my pool? My niece has the same pool and I want to get her started on this method. Her water turned green and my nephew drained and refilled. After...

I replaced water last night and then added approximately 100 oz of Clorox. These are my numbers as of 6am today. Faint cloudiness. I can still see the bottom of the pool, but the blue squares are not as blue. Also, replaced filter with a cleaned on last night after the water add...

The pink/red swirl at the bottom appeared after 16 drops. I switched tips on the bottles. The drops were larger this time. However, to get the WHOLE solution to turn, it took 25 drops.

CYA test

Re: 3 days of test results Sorry about the double post. Wasn't sure. I have no idea how any result go to the level it is. I have added nothing to the pool. It has rained here almost everyday since Sunday. The CYA test I will redo and post pictures as I add water to the tube. The first CYA...

3 days of test results Merged topics:jjparrish I am on the right track? I have children who will "DIE" if they cannot go swimming today. Weather and doctor's appointments have kept them out so far this week. ------Tues--------Wed--------Thur pH----7.2---------7.2----------7.5...

I have had gobs of mass suicide ants this year. Also had several of those diving bugs. I chased one in the pool for 10 minutes before I caught it and squished it. :-D
