I Have never winterized a pool and am trying to figure out how a mesh center seam on some covers works. More specifically, what do you do with all the water in the pool that drains into your pool thru this mesh seam over the winter? With no pump hooked up to drain down water accumilating into...

Got an Aqua Bug vacuum with my pool package. Have watched it run a few times and just can't fugure out what pattern this thing runs around in the pool. Do the antenna actually do anything besides make it look like a bug? Does it just "randomlly" move around by water being sucked thru it or...

A week ago my TA was a bit high at 120 & PH was 7.7. I wanted to lower TA so i added the appropriate MA & TA was then 110 & PH 7. I aerated for a week & PH raised to about 7.2 (didn't increase much). I then added MA tonight according to calculator for PH to 7.0 , but will not test TA again till...

Is there a summary or article on Borates on the forum? If so, I can't find it. I have a gap of knowlege on Borates and their source. I assume they are produced by adding "Borax" but not sure how the affects of adding them have on PH,TA, etc. All I found was this BORATES Borates can...

All except the post caps as didn't have the screws, now starting on the other 1/2 of deck today. I won't have any problem running water for slide at same time as waterfall as had to actually turn the valve pressure down on the waterfall as it was like a whitewater rapids when i turned it on full...

The Skimmer level is obviously the lowest water level point on the pool. Lower than the wall, so excess water levels from rain, splashing swimmers, etc will obviously overflow the skimmer area before ever reaching the top of the pool wall. Trying to figure out someway to divert any water...

Working on framing the wood deck up next to the pool and wanted to ask first. I have a j-hook liner under an 8" resin top rail. My framing height will put my decking pretty much level with top rail (not above and not going under the top rail). Each end of a board will be ending toward the pool...

Pool store person said may need to add calcium increaser if level is too low. (haven't tested mine yet as trying to just clear it up right now). He said if there is not enough calcium in water that it will be pulled from "wherever" it can, like the liner and make it brittle. I have read on...

Timeline: Tuesday-pool company calls & says we are pouring concrete ring for pool to set on today. Wednesday- pool company calls, says setting up pool today. I said pool water delivery guy i was gonna use is out of town for 2 weeks. Pool company says, no problem, you can work on putting water...

I tried searching the forum for pics of how people have decked over their pump/filter and did not come up with anything on the search. Would anyone be willing to share how they did this? Maybe pics? Pool is being installed today. Thanks

I am reading the forum before pool is installed to make informed decisions. Will be installing a waterfall on the deck surrounding a 27' round AGP. Do i need to consider placing the waterfall a far distance (such as across the pool from the skimmer) to not interfer with the skimmer's water...
