    Equipment to drain last few inches of water?

    Confer 7000 ladder issue w/AGP

    Hello! I have an above ground Coleman pool. I’ve had a Confer 7000 ladder for 2 seasons. This season, the ladder is very unstable.

    Intex over wall skimmer/filter issues.

    Over the course of the last week or so, I've noticed that my filter is just not pulling any water into the over the wall skimmer I installed last year. It worked just fine last season but for some reason it isn't working so well now. The filter is very loud and sounds like it has air in it, but...

    Intex Deluxe Wall Mounted Skimmer for Coleman pool

    I have a 16' Coleman ultra frame pool and today I installed the Intex Deluxe Wall Mounted Skimmer to it. Thankfully, all parts work for the Coleman pool, but unfortunately it doesn't appear to be working. My guess is because my pool has two inputs and one output. The skimmer is only attached to...

    I have a 16'x48" Coleman Power Steel pool that was set up this week. We filled the pool and added chemicals yesterday.
