Water is fairly cheap here so i siphoned it off the cover after scooping the leaves and crud off. I would guess is was down a little over a foot from where we left it so not too bad. Amazingly the water underneath is sparkling clear and still smells of chlorine, we are topping it up today and...

FYI: Doing that will likely drain the entire pool down almost 2 feet from the full level So you suggest scoop as much of the solids as possible, dumping the water off the top of the cover quickly, remove cover trying to keep as much Crud out of the pool as possible and then top it up with 2' of...

Above ground 15' round The center of the winter cover is submerged approx 18" below the surface, weighed down with water, leaves and Crud. Im guessing that the ice tore a small hole in the cover which caused it to sink. Under the cover, the pool water looks quite clean and I can see the bottom...

Did not use the pool yesterday and neglected to check it....... This morning, Total Chlorine and free chlorine are both at zero. Which in effect is a good thing i guess..... Added 42oz of walmart bleach to bring it up to 4-5 Looks sparkling crystal clear How long before water goes bad if FC...

I am a little confused over Total Chlorine, Combined Chlorine and Free Chlorine The HTH 3 way test kit to my knowledge, measures Total Chlorine My test strips measure only Free Chlorine I currently have no way of measuring Combined Chlorine. It is my understanding that Combined...

Go to hardware store and get EZ outs or some similar tool for removing rusty screws....... probably better for you to spend the time getting them out, rather than they have to do it, it could be time consuming depending on how bad they are. Try tapping a bit into the head with a hammer...

The new filter arrived the next day and i hooked it up the next day. Seems like a decent unit for the price. Local pool ripoff store only had a jacuzzi 19" in stock and wanted $368 for it when poolsuppliescanada had it for $209 ! so im glad i ordered online. The sandpro pump was connected...

Good luck with the Sandpro 75 ! WE bought one last year and have replaced the top ring clamp and gasket 3 times and its leaking again !!! Searching the web , it seems to be a common problem due to poor design with lots of negative reviews (amazon) Im ready to dump the Dang thing and get a...

New AGP this year, 15' round 52" deep 5000 gal currently using a " GAME Sandpro 75 sand filter / pump which has a constant leak around the top ring which seems to be a common problem.......... the ring and gasket has already been changed twice and its leaking again. Im looking at...

More props from my house ! Started late last year when we had the old intex easy set, after having the usual cloudy nasty pool 3-4 weeks into the season, I started with BBB got it cleared finally and have never looked back. This year we have a 15' round Sharkline ABG and its been crystal clear...

And finally the deck extension and upper platform is complete, along with extending the privacy fence. Turned out just as planned and gave us a nice private back yard area ! Kid's love jumping in ! And the gate with lock keeps the dog (supervisor) safe from falling in :-) Both decks were built...

Hope everyone is enjoying their pools this weekend ! Got our new liner in, adjusted ph from 8.6 down to 7.8 added stabilizer and chlorine, hooked up the solar panels and today the pool was up to a very enjoyable 80 deg ! We had a great weekend in the pool with the girls (9 & 15) still using the...
