    Pool Cover Protection from Rough Coping?

    Thanks very much bmoreswim. I've decided to take a chance on the Cover Guard product I linked to above. It looks pretty similar to the loop-loc product included in your google search list (which was better than mine). It will act like that second layer of mesh you have with your cover. We...

    Pool Cover Protection from Rough Coping?

    My first thought too Geebot. Unfortunately the edge is too shallow for a noodle to grab onto. Thx.

    Pool Cover Protection from Rough Coping?

    Greetings all. I am installing a Loop-Loc cover over my new 11'x24' fiberglass pool which has granite decking slightly over-hanging the pool edge. I'm worried that the abrasive edge will damage my cover, especially on windy days and if I get a heavy snow. Can anyone recommend a tried & true...

    Question about piping for cartridge filter

    Thanks everyone. It made sense to me, but my contractor isn't the most "forward thinking", if you know what I mean. I will be sure to work it in to the system. Jim

    Question about piping for cartridge filter

    Greetings. I'm had a new FG pool installed using a VS pump and cartridge filter (also a propane htr and SWG) Is it typical for the 2" PVC piping to include a bypass valve to drain excess storm water? Or should I be looking to use a submersible pump instead? My last pool had a DE filter and...

    Greetings. I am in the process of installing a new fiberglass pool that will use (18"x36") granite decking blocks up to and slightly overhanging the pool edge.

    Greetings all: I am in the process of finishing a new fiberglass pool and surrounding granite decking. I've purchased a Loop-Loc cover and full set of 15" Aluminum Pipe Anchors to relieve cover stress from the decking. The pool is in a sandy area (Cape Cod), and my builder and I are concerned...

    Compu Pool SWG

    I bought what appears to be the exact same unit from Woot last May, only it was re-branded as the Circupool RJ45. It installed as promised, seems well built and works just fine. I use the default control by paralleling it with my filter timer, but it does have the ability for programming...

    Tips and Tricks

    Re: A couple of tips I thought everybody knew. Anybody got some I use a Kreepy Krauly vacuum-type cleaner connected to my skimmer. After I let it knock around awhile I pull about 4-5 feet of hose out and in line with the pool edge and hold it in place behind an old chemical bucket filled with...
