    Got a small leak...

    The boxer vinyl patch kit is excellent. I too just today in fact noticed a small rust spot mid way down in the wall of our pool. After wiping over the rust area water started seeping out the tiny hole. I got in with my mask and snorkel but couldn't see anything wrong with the liner let alone a...

    Liner Bead Type?

    That looks like it is the standard bead track.

    Let there be light!

    They are great lights. Had one with our soft sided pool. It lit it up nicely.

    New deck for AGP

    You have a beaded liner and it looks exactly how it's supposed to look. The beauty of a beaded liner is the top of the pool does not have to be disassembled to do a liner replacement. It just simply snaps into the bead reciever and hangs down into the pool. That is why the liner itself doesn't...

    thinking about changing out ladder steps

    Yes these steps are the confer curved. I forget that they make different styles and not every implemented idea works for every design. Glad you have them installed so you can start enjoying them. As for the 60" height I would imagine it has something to do with getting in and out off the top...

    thinking about changing out ladder steps

    So the 1 1/2“ or even 1 1/4" doesn't fit? It actually may have been 1 1/4" that I used for the shelf pieces as 1 1/2 does look too large looking at it and I'm almost positive now that it is 1 1/4" because I remember using the pipe for the previous pool's fountain which I made out of 1 1/4 pvc...

    thinking about changing out ladder steps

    No I didn't fill the support pvc. It's only about 3ft in length and it is pretty rigid. I decided on pea gravel and bleach for the weights just because in case they happened to break open while being put in and taken out that it would be easy to clean up. And bleach was added just to keep...

    thinking about changing out ladder steps

    It's going to be a personal preference. I don't use anything but mine has the 4 feet at each corner that are about 5" square and I can't think of a way to get a pad under each foot and keep it in place that doesn't also cover the entire footprint of the stairs themselves. Year 2 and no...

    24' Out of round

    Unfortunately you do need to drain and then go all the way around and measure across at each upright and make sure it is as round as possible. Nudge and gently kick in and out around the wall as needed to get it all round. Then use a level and get each upright plumb at which point you can re...

    Liner questionm

    No problem. It's better to be well informed going into it than blindly attempt something and have a potential catastrophic mess later on.

    First time with well water, need advice on how to proceed

    Some or that could still be very fine sediment particulate passing the filter too. But you definitely do have iron!! Just have to continue filling so you can start filtering out the iron. The bleach /chlorine will cause a lot to oxidize and fall out of suspension and end up on the bottom...

    Leaking PVC hose connections

    Is it leaking where the flexible hose slides onto the pvc stand pipe or where the stand pipe is screwed into the pump/filter housing?

    Patio umbrella

    For your cantilever on a deck you could always do what I did and mount it directly to the deck. Between the joist I have it heavily reinforced with 4x4 cross members that are lag screwed in secure. The actual base part of the umbrella that would normally bolt to the big metal X base is then...

    thinking about changing out ladder steps

    No I don't fill mine with sand, they remain empty. What I did was slide some 1.5" pvc pipe through the slots in the side of the stairs and thst makes a shelf for my pvc weights to lay on. They're 4" sewer pipe filled with pea gravel and bleach and the ends were glued on. They're about 20-22"...

    What is 3EC?

    I love how people are actually being helpful on here and actually posting informative responses instead of the usual 'use the search function' response. :)
