    Skimmer question...

    My skimmer has some sort of waterfall feature that comes up over the intake and I've tried to find something like it online but am coming up empty. Here it is in action: Does this have a specific name? I'm probably going to have to replace it and I'd love to find one that does the waterfall...

    AG pool Solar Reel?

    It's not much....

    But it's ours. Moved the offset (left umbrella) to that spot today, not fun when it's 87! :shock: If we're lucky the fabric will last the season. Next project, deck removal and reuse as a "pool stuff box", hoses, toys, all that jazz. Thought I'd share.

    New to BBB but it's defintely working!

    Lil background, we just moved into a house with a pool, an unmaintained for 2+ years pool. So I started off hitting Leslie's and going that route, spending a lot of money and not really seeing any result, then I find this site. After just 3 days doing the BBB method, after draining 1/3 of the...
