Well, just closed her up today, it was a great summer, sleep well my friend!

Chillin waiting for..................

Like the rest of the country, here in Southern New Jersey we to have been in a heat wave with the temperature being in the high 90's for the last few weeks. I had to break out the old fountain to try to cool down the water temperature this morning. Yesterday my water temp was at 89 degrees. This...

Well it hit close to 80 degrees her in South Jersey yesterday and I just had to take a look. Pulled the cover, the water looked great and I began to fill it to bring the water level back up. Water temperature was a chilly 58 degrees, brought out a lot of the deck furniture and then made a...

Took the cover off the pool yesterday 5/17/19 here in Southern New Jersey. The water really looked good after its long winter nap. Will finish filling it up today and clean up a bit, its still a ways off before I will get in and reinstall the stair rail waters a bit chilly.

My solid cover verdict finally needs replacing after 6 winters. I am trying to decide if I want to go with a mesh cover this time to help with siphoning rain water and melted snow from the top. Some of the reviews I have read from people with a mesh cover complain to much dirt and silt do get...

It seems i am constantly aiming my return eye and i was wondering if anyone else does the same? Sometimes i have it pointing so low that there is not even a ripple on the surface if just want to float without spinning around the lazy river. Sometimes i point it up to create ripples and a...

Most of you have seen photos of my pool in the past and of my particular bad sloping yard and what i did to compensate the slope by building a retaining wall and installing our pool on top of it. I got a request from a friend of mine out of state to show him a video of it. So i thought i...

Was thinking of opening today (5/14/16) since most of the pollen has stopped and the oak tree curlies have stopped fallen for the most part. I am just so tired of looking out a seeing the cover and to be able to just see some blue water will make my beer taste better. There is yet another...

I just had a conversation with another above ground pool owner and we started talking about how we manage our pools. The conversation turned to granular pool products and how we add them to the pool. I would like to get your feedback on how you add your granular products. 1. Add thru skimmer...

Did a double take walking by my sliding glass doors and looking out to the pool. Looks to be a snow goose, i have had the pool up for 6 summers now and we have mallards, swans, geese and wood ducks and never had a visitor in the pool. A little prodding with the pool net and he fly away.

I currently use the 100 watt night lighter in my oval 12 x 24 and i attach it to one end and it really does light up the entire pool. But using the 100 watt halogen bulb really uses a lot of electric. I just found this LED 12 volt light on ebay and was wondering if anyone has tried to apply...

Thinking of getting a pool pump timer, looking for pros and cons and any information on a manufacture if you feel they make a good product. Thanks

I always hated the design of the wedding cake support arm that goes from the top step upright and then screws into your deck. It has to set on top of your top rail and then you have to put a block or something on your deck to make up the difference in height so you could screw in into place...

I took the cover off actually last Friday and the water really looked good. The temperature was 47 degrees, Thursday it was up to 62 degrees. We had a pretty hard winter here in South Jersey the pool and the cover have seem to come thru fine. I know i am not the only one looking forward to...

I really miss the old site, still trying to figure this one out. Can someone explain to me how to see all of the posts that are in a topic and not just the first 3 or 4? For instance above ground pools has 5 posts when you click on it and show off your pool has 2 posts.

What are your thoughts on a dedicated Intex pool forum?? It seems 50% of the topics in the above ground pool forum are about Intex pools. Do you think it would be helpful to Intex owners t go directly to that forum for help and advise rather than search thru above ground??

Well they started already since we had a few warm days, the wasps are out and looking for a place to start there nests under my deck. This winter i checked under every floor joists cavity and removed about 20 nests. I know they are territorial and try to come back to the same nest every year but...

Well i guess this counts as my pool being open? Yesterday i had my forth liner installed in 3 years. I have a Dough Boy pool and have had some extremely bad luck with liners. First Liner split at cove when the pool was 1 week old and drained the pool. Second liner had bad areas around the seams...

Can anyone tell me what other liner besides one purchased from Doughboy will fit my 12x24 Doughboy? It is a J channel liner, but i am not sure if there are any other differnecs between makers? I need another liner and i am not very excited to put a forth Dougnboy liner in at this point.

Yesterday my liner dropped from my J channel, it seems that it either just ripped away or the seal failed where the liner and the white bead attach? The J channel is still in the track only the liner has moved. Has anyone had to deal with this problem yet and if so how did you fix it?? Thanks

Does anyone have an answer to stopping wasps mostly from flying under or crawling between the deck boards of a raised deck and making nests in between the floor joists? Every year this is a constant battle and a complete pain to deal with. I have hung differnt things to lure in Bees but they...

I thru this question out last year also....has anybody tried or come up with a waterfall that could be used on your above gound pool?

Has anyone had any experience with this step secure system or are they new? I like the concept to work along with the railing support arms that come with the wedding cake steps. But i am wondering if there may be a little rubbing and wear at the point of contact on your inside liner with the...

I am looking to buy 2 more wedding cake support arms. Does anyone know of anybody that may sell these or does anyone have some for some reason that they are not using. The style i need is like the one in the photo, i cut them out to go over my top rail and they sometimes crack. That is why i am...

Has anyone in the northeast closed there pool up and removed there wedding cake step rails and left he steps themselves in the pool during the winter? If you have can you tell me what you found in the spring or how you made out. If anyone has anything to add i would love to hear from you.

Here in South Jersy we got hammered yesterday with over 10" of rain. I had to keep letting water out of my pool so it would not over flow and run between my liner and the side of the pool. Did anyone else get hit hard yesterday with that rain?

I know this maybe a strech for an AGP but has anyone tried to incorporate a waterfall of some sort which flows into your pool. I have been kicking around the idea but i am also stumped as to how to make it look not so out of place. Let me some some of your pictures if anyone has done anything.
