Bump for morning crowd.

We are getting ready to close our new above ground 21' pool. It has a safety fence attached to the top of it and a partial deck. I was looking at the Hurricane cover, but I do not think that will work. Any tips for a cover that will work with a safety fence?

Bumping for afternoon crowd :)

I think everything is going pretty good so far, water is clear and I'm getting the hang of testing and using the calc. Chlorine has been holding really well. Last night we added acid to drop ph to 7.2 to try and get the TA down and have the return pointed up for aeration to bring the ph back up...

Thank you!

It is liquid stabilizer/CYA it has been discussed on this forum before.

Hi! We are in the process of having a 21' round Doughboy put up. It has 52" side walls so I believe it is 10,400 gallons. Right now the pool is up and the liner is in with about 4 inches of water. They still need to run electric and gas, so it will be a few more days until it is complete. I have...

We were going to order our pool, but now I think I'm going with a local company package because they are offering free install. We are looking at the Aqua Leader Spirit and we were wondering if there would be any issue using a salt system with this pool. Here is the description: • 7' Injection...

I also have a Leslie Pool in the area, might go and check out their prices also.

I was leaning towards poolsuppyworld, but am open to suggestions.
