Go, Jesse, Go! Go, Jesse, Go! (Where is the cheerleader-with-pompoms smilie when you need it?)

I just ordered some reagent refills... wish I'd known these were available. I ordered a replacement gauge from amazon a few days ago. :neutral: I thought that was how you're SUPPOSED to get a reading! Kind of like how my husband taps the screen of his phone with increasing pressure when it...

Anything technical or electronic is my domain; I'm a geek from way back. DH is the mechanical one -- plumbing, construction, design -- with decidedly creative vision. The man has remodeled our entire house from the studs out; it's amazing. My kitchen is beautiful -- good thing since I cook three...

Re: Pool Expansion -- from 16' Intex to 21' Sharkline Herita Kids went in for the first time today. DH is already griping about wanting to hard-plumb the pump and filter (gotta love that guy) but it's OK for now. Picked up a bunch of toys for the kids and just made one of these; it's for...

Excellent! Which pool model do you have? (Can't see signatures in tapatalk)

Re: Pool Expansion -- from 16' Intex to 21' Sharkline Herita 4x4 retaining wall with landscaping cloth attached. We're coving against the outside of the pool wall with dirt to prevent the inner sand cove from washing out, then landscaping material (tbd) over it.

Re: Pool Expansion -- from 16' Intex to 21' Sharkline Herita Despite threat of bad weather, we were able to get the pool installed yesterday! We filled for about six hours and shut off overnight; going to continue filling and install the skimmer today. I have pics but haven't uploaded yet. All...

Re: Pool Expansion -- from 16' Intex to 21' Sharkline Herita You're a wiser woman than I. :(

Re: Pool Expansion -- from 16' Intex to 21' Sharkline Herita One friend injured his back and another had something come up, so we rescheduled the install for today. I'd opened most of the boxes to count parts, but left the liner box and wall box intact so it would be easier to move them to the...

Re: Pool Expansion -- from 16' Intex to 21' Sharkline Herita Basically. Since we were expanding our existing pool site, hubs set the pavers in the dirt, then we filled with sand. There are extra pavers along the lower track line to help distribute weight (I don't have a pic of that yet). He...

Re: Pool Expansion -- from 16' Intex to 21' Sharkline Herita Thanks! The site prep is slow going, but of course, the most important part. Set the final paver this afternoon. Tomorrow hubs works a ten-hour day, so we're back at it on Thurs. Have a few friends lined up to help out; hopefully my...

So we bought and set up a 16' Intex three summers ago, and the new 21' Sharkline Heritage was delivered this morning. Ordered from ThePoolFactory.com, they offered liftgate shipping for $39. I'm glad we took advantage of it, as the entire shipment was on a pallet, and the delivery guy used a...

Sharing the excitement! Our 21' Matrix is on the truck for delivery tomorrow; hubs, our nephew and I are going to complete the install by the weekend, as long as the weather holds... not looking good, though, as we're expecting major storms here tonight/tomorrow.

Finding this site was miraculous when we were looking at buying an Intex... Hubs was smart enough to realize that bleach = chlorine, and it was a no-brainer from that point on.

I just called a distributor and they told me to double-check with GLI that their fencing would fit our pool; even though they say it's universal fencing, it really isn't. So I called GLI and the CS rep indicated that the mounting surface for the uprights must be flat, not rounded, or their...
