I have the same problem. Neww cover every year!! I have a lot of trees near my pool so I have leaves dropping all the time and then the cover starts sinking. I have tried the pillow- moves all over when putting cover on, thought about filling the pool with pillows, but when the water level is...

I can't get the build up off the side of the pool. I vacuum the bottom and looks great but the vacuum I have does not hit the curves of the side of the pool. I walk around and kick it off but it clings again. What can I do? Also I have a 33 ft pool amd hose is just a little short, can you...

Thanks I didn't know circulating made any difference. It will be tomorrow before i have it circulating for several hours. I will post then Thanks.

I was ill last year and didn't get the pool open. So it was drained and all leaves, debris is removed. I am now filling the pool, about 3/4 full, so shouldn't be much longer. I had the water tested today and here are the results. I want to use the BBB method. Pool info is in my signature...

So do I not put any chemicals in at all? Won't the algae just keep growing and getting worse.

I went away and came back to a green pool, and I am getting ready to close for the winter. What do I do about the green algae, will the winterizing chemicals take care of that, or do I need to pre treat before the winterizing. Also how much antifreeze do I put in. If I run the filter, am I...

I have sungrabber and I think it was 119 or so a panel. I have 3 for my size pool 18X33 ABG. Research the net and you might find them cheaper. I got mine at www.intheswim.com.

I use nylon knee high stockings, they work great and are much cheaper. I have been amazed of the little settiment that was getting into my filter, now it is stopped before it gets there. (I learned this on this great forum!!) I have a new filter and pump this year, so I was so happy to learn...

Well gone fishin I might be able to do that. I would like to see a pic too if you have one. The building party sounds nice but NJ is a long ways from Missouri!!

Well I am not a person who knows how to build things and my husband had a massive stroke, so he is not able to help out, so I was trying to find something that was easy and simple to do. The third "here" you had is the directions that came with the items I ordered from in the swim. I was...

I ordered from intheswim what I thought was something to put on the side of my pool to hang my solar panels. I got straps that you attach to the roof to put your panels, mine is not set up to put them on the roof. Does anyone have any suggestions how to put the panels on the side of the pool...

Just adding to raise. Thanks for your quick response. This site is the best!!!!!!

Do You dilute the borax and baking soda before you put it in the pool or just sprinkle it in. Do I do it near the intake and outlet?

I was just reading a forum and saw that someone said they had a pool cage so they don't have "things" in there pool. I have a lot of trees and I am curious as to what the pool cage is-- Mikmctx posted they had one.

Well pump is running and no problems or leaks, so I lucked out on that. I have had a busy week, but I plan to vacuum the pool today. Thanks for the advise of putting the hose at the return, makes sense for getting the air out of the hose, something simply that I wouldn't have thought of...
