Finally got my 3rd pool installed, and this time we had the overlap liner installed instead of the beaded. Even the place i purchased all the pools said they dont offer the beaded liner anymore, because of this particular issue. Wish they would have told me this on the last pool..lol..

Ive posted in the past about my rust issues on my last two pools, and Im hoping we have a solution. I had someone finally come out and look at my issues, and to see what my options were going further. Before I even showed him the rust issues, he automatically said water is getting in from the...

Curious to how many people on this forum own a Stealth Semi-inground pool, and if anyone has or had any rust issues. Still debating and researching before replacing my rusted well name brand pool.

Im dealing with my 2nd pool in less than 8yrs with rust issues. Ive had different groups ask me questions on what im doing that could be contributing to cause the rust. Ive been asked if I use salt system, and the answer is no. They asked what chemicals do i use for my pool, and i reply with...

I guess when i was weed eating, i broke off the on and off button, and now the pump is off..Anyway to turn back on manual until i get fixed. I dont want to get into water issues, since i cant circulate water at the moment..

Well the 70 degree weather yesterday help thaw the 4" thick ice in my pool yesterday. I was able to turn pump back on to see if motor was going to work, and it did, but water shot out of the return pipe from the filter. As you can see in the photo, im hoping this is the only damage to the pool...

We are going on 5yrs with our hot tub, and last year my wife started to get skin irritations, but only in certain spots of her body. The first thing you would think is that we have bacteria in the tub, but even after draining, and a very deep cleaning, she broke out again with the fresh water...

Well I closed my pool down for the winter a few weeks ago, for the water turned too cold. Now when I say I closed it down, I basically mean I took the wedding cake stairs out, and still run the pump through the winter months. When I shut it down, my numbers were on point like I had it all...

Our new above ground pool was installed not long ago, but the ez clips for the beaded liner has some gaps, and not butted up against one another. I have a few that is an inch apart, and that can let water get behind my liner, and rust out my wall. Wondering if I could buy a piece of the clip...

Now that the has moved out, it will be a swim weekend for sure...

Now that the new pool is up and ready to go, im going to bite down and get a robot cleaner. Looking at the Dolphin E10. Looks like most of the reviews are good....

My brother in law is not on this site, but sent me these pictures, and asked what these dark spots could be. I waiting on his numbers, but thought I would help him out and get ahead start with some pictures..

Well yesterday the old pool was finally torn down, and the new one going up today, barring the storms hold off. I was at work when the installers tore it down, but I took some pics of the pool when laying in the trash pile. The entire pool was in this condition, and the pool was only going on...

As you might know, I had a major rust issue on my 4yr old pool, and was going back in forth on buying a new one, or get a inground pool. Well, we went with a new ABG , and looks like it will be going up next week. Still a little salty that im having to buy a whole new pool and liner, and now pay...

Last year around this time, I had a new Carver 1.5hp 2 speed pump installed, and now im noticing when its on high speed, water is coming out from the bottom, but if I keep it on the slow speed, it dosent leak. First off, should it be leaking for just being a year old? We had no winter this year...

Well im sad to say, but after 4 1/2 years of our above the ground pool, we have serious rust issues on the pool walls. I had recently noticed a pin hole on the outerside of the pool wall, and a streak of rust where the water was dripping from, so I assumed I might have done it with the...

So far this year, N. Texas has not been a good swim year, but finally this weekend looks to be prime!!!! The rain and a very late cold front has kept the water just a tad to cold, but its perfect now. Who would have thought pool season in Texas had to wait til mid June...I plan on baking this...

I had a company come out and install a new pump, and while they were there, I had them to go ahead and upgrade to media glass for the filter. My gauge was working before the sand change, but now its not reading anything. I called the company to tell them, and they said since I have a fountain...

Well over the past 4 years, Ive been very good about running the pump 24hrs during sub-freezing temps, but I totally forgot this time, and left it on the timer. The pump runs approx. 4hrs a day, and it's in the evening until about 11pm. The next day after temps in the lower 20's, my pump would...

I bought one off amazon last week, and im very pleased with it so far. Really gets that dirt the sand filter seems not to catch, and thats with skimmer socks!!!!!!

Bring on July 4th !!!!!!!!!!!!

Ive been having a issue of the very fine pollen, dirt, etc et not catching in my sand filter. I called someone out to change the sand, or see if I have some channeling going on, but once he saw my water clarity, he said I dont want to take your money. He said if i still want him to do it, he...

Last few years, the water had not warmed up enough to swim until mid June, but we might be swimming in the next few weeks with these temps..Current Water temp is 82...Getting decked cleaned and re-stained this weekend. Lets go summer !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks like I might have come channeling going on in my sand filter. I can vacuum all debris up, and it will not return if pump is off, but after a hour or so on, then bottom of floor dirty again. Skimmer sock does help, but still getting through the filter. I do have good / strong flow out of...

I closed down the hot tub last week, due to the warm weather, then wouldnt you know, two cold fronts.. Bring on the pool season please

Anyone else have problems with the flying ants that will fly into the pool? Ill scoop from the top daily, and the dead ones will eventually sink to the bottom. Most ofthem I can vacuum up, and are caught in the skimmer basket, but im seeing some getting through, and coming right back out the...

As of Sunday morning, I passed the OCLT, so I started on the 24hr mustard algae slam. I was checking almost every other hour on my levels, and a few times it got below 30 (my cya is 50) so I would add enough to just go above 30, just in case it was getting eaten up quickly. This morning was the...

5th day on slam, and ive kept my FC at 20 or above, for my CYA is at 50..And same exact spots keep showing up all over pool floor. Ive brushed, vacuumed, and backwashed, but to no avail..My stairs still havnt been put back in for the season, and ive taken fountain off and cleaned and scrubbed...
