No we don't have wall foam. I agree that the cove is much more important. I was hoping that wall foam would help keep the water temperature warmer, extending our swimming season as well as offering extra protection for the liner. We have foam on the floor. We are very glad we installed the floor...

Thank you so much, Mdragger88. I realize that we need a functional cove. It does seem to be functional as we have never had a problem with the liner coming out under the wall.. I would be willing to replace it if necessary. I just wonder if a new cove would flatten just as much within days or...

Hello, We have an old steel doughboy style 15 x 30 x 48" pool. We are replacing the 10-year-old liner and coping strips. Should we also replace the cove? The cove is very flattened down so it seems like an obvious no-brainer to replace it now that we have access to it. However, the new cove will...

Hello, We are planning to replace the overlap liner on our above ground pool. Our current liner, which is the standard blue color, has lasted for more than a decade. I was considering purchasing a 25 gauge liner with a design called, "Glimmerglass" from linerworld.com. I was able to find it on...

We needed the brush right away so my husband opted for the one from Home Depot with the nylon bristles. There are many negative reviews about the Walmart brush stating that the plastic bristles begin falling out in less than a year. I would like to try a brush with a fin someday though...

Thank you Marty and Panzer. Sounds great. I will let my husband know and see if he wants to get one of those Whale Wall brushes.

Thank you everyone! I will be sure to store the new brush out of the sun. Marty, do you think the Whale Wall brush is far superior to brushes that don't have a fin?

I need to buy a new brush for my AG pool. Are nylon bristles longer lasting than poly or does it make no difference? I have read that the Whale Wall is a good brush but seems to have some issues with corrosion. Also, I need a brush now and the Whale Wall isn't available locally. The blue and...

We're still working on putting up a used 15' x 30' x 48" oval steel wall pool. The ground has been properly leveled. We installed 1/2" extruded polystyrene and a foam cove. We purchased a liner a while ago but found that it was damaged so we had to get another. The pool supply store only had...

Re: Polystyrene Foam Insulation for Pool Bottom - Pink Vs. B Twelkner, Ha ha. That's why you married her, isn't it? Well, we are finally ready to install the liner. Our liner was stored in our shed for a couple of years. When we opened the box, we discovered that the liner has been cut...
