    Small hole in new bestway pool

    I just got a new 16’ bestway pool to replace my 6 year old Coleman. I filled it up yesterday and noticed a small pool of water on the ground next to it. I did some investigating and found a small pinhole in it that is spurting out a tiny stream of water. I tried using one of the underwater...

    How to fix filter hose today

    Both pool stores here are closed already and Amazon is never that fast for me, usually takes 2 plus weeks for any order to get to my door. I don’t have prime.

    How to fix filter hose today

    One of the hoses that leads from my filter to the pool wall ruptured today. Flex seal tape isn’t working. Where can I find a replacement today or what can I do to repair it? I’m on mobile and not sure how to make my signature show up. Here’s my pool info: 16' x 48" (5,145 gallons) Coleman Power...

    Equipment to drain last few inches of water?

    We are draining our pool for the season. The last few seasons, we used the drain plug and hoses to drain out the majority of the water and then used buckets and shop vacs to get out the last few inches. There’s got to be an easier way that will save our backs from all the bailing. Is there a...

    Confer 7000 ladder issue w/AGP

    It doesn’t look any different so a photo won’t help. It just leans really far to one side and bows out when we use it. It didn’t do that the first 2 years. I called confer, nothing they can do since we didn’t buy it from them.

    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. It leans very badly to one side when we use it and I feel like it will collapse and day now. We’ve taken it apart and reassembled it several times and nothing helps...

    Upgraded ladder for 48” tall Coleman pool

    Does yours flex and move when you get on it? The part that is in the pool slides out quite a bit when we get on it.

    Upgraded ladder for 48” tall Coleman pool

    It ended up being a Confer 7000 model. Still a decent ladder for the price! Got it cleaned up and in the pool yesterday. It is a bit wobbly but the top platform is wide enough for us to sit at the top like we wanted! Now we’re trying to track down a suitable rubber pad to put under the end in...

    I found one on Craigslist for $40 about an hour away so I will give it a shot and see how it works out.

    Upgraded ladder for 48” tall Coleman pool

    I was looking at the confer 7200. I see the steps are 5 by 18”. So is the top platform only 18” wide as well?

    Upgraded ladder for 48” tall Coleman pool

    I really want to upgrade my stock Coleman ladder to a wider, more sturdy ladder. I want something that I can sit on the top platform part. Anyone have any suggestions? My pool is 48” tall.

    Intex over wall skimmer/filter issues.

    Yep I pulled everything apart and checked it and flushed it just in case. Could it be my cartridges? I have the same 3 from last year that I cycled through every 3 days. I cleaned them by soaking them in dish detergent and rinsing heavily. Could they just be worn out and causing the filter to...

    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...

    Confer model 7100 Evolution A-Frame ladder

    Does anyone have experience with this ladder? There is one listed on my local Craigslist for $100. I am wanting to upgrade my stock ladder for something more sturdy. I am having my niece and nephew over next weekend and want to find something sturdy, allows for turning around and doesn't wobble...

    Covering your pool

    We aren't picky about temp, we have swam twice so far, both at 74 degrees. I just wasn't sure if it effected the chemistry at all.

    Covering your pool

    Is it necessary to put the cover on your pool every night or can you leave it off all summer?

    Just got my TF-100 test kit, results:

    My test results for today... FC 3.5 CC 0 TC 3.5 TA 90 CYA 30 pH 8.2 All I've been doing is adding chlorine every day. I was going to start the SLAM today if I didn't see any difference in the TC level. I am now going to address the pH issue.

    Just tested my water today, results: FC: .5 CC: .5 TC: 1 TA: 160 CYA: 30 PH: 8.2 All I did after my last test was add 20 oz of 10% chlorine. Why can't I seem to get the TC up? Should I add more chlorine than what pool math reccomended? Also, what caused my TA to drop over night? I didn't add...

    Just got my TF-100 test kit, results:

    Thanks! That video is very handy. Now I know what to look for in the future. My TA is probably higher than 300 then since I stopped after the water turned red then clear. I was also not swirling as I was dropping. I set the tube down, dropped in a drop, then lifted to swirl and repeated. I am...

    Just got my TF-100 test kit, results:

    My TF-100 test kit arrived 5 days sooner than expected! So now I finally have accurate results to use the TFP method... FC .5 CC .5 TC 1 TA 300 CYA 25 (exactly half way between 20 and 30) pH 8.2 So I plan on reducing the TA by using muriatic acid. I was hoping to get this at Walmart... do they...
