Hi All....We had a really heavy downpour a few days ago and my pool filled past the top of the skimmer inlet. I drained some of the water out but not to the middle of the skimmer. Was planning on using the extra water to vacuum to waste. My two sons and nephew got in the pool and my oldest...

Does anyone know if you can just buy new topseat rails for an above ground pool. The rubber pieces on mine are finally wearing out after 10 years. Looks like they are just dry rotting from the weather. I am thinking they will need to be replaced by next season and probably the liner too.

Good Morning All....I was previously adding 6% -96 oz. jugs of bleach to my pool Walmart brand. Last week the husband and I went to the Dollar Store and found 6% - 182 oz. of Dollar Store brand for only $1 more and bought a whole cart full. I added some to my pool the other night according to...

Yes guys, I have another question....LOL! My pump is a 1.5 HP 70 GPM Hayward. How long do you think I need to run it per day! I am thinking about trying to add bleach in the evening...let it circulate a couple of hours and then shut it down until morning. Any suggestions? My water is balanced...

About 6 years ago I found a product on Ebay called "Party Pool". You mixed it with water and poured it in your pool to make the water Lagoon Blue. I added it for a Luau party I had. It did leave a blue residue at the water line for a while but eventually the chlorine washed it back off. Have any...

I fight this stuff every year and don't know what it is! If I vacuum it is gone and then I backwash the pump and 30 minutes later it returns! It like a fine dust. Dead algae maybe???? I have always attributed it to being just dust that has settled or residue from baking soda or borax that has...

Here are a couple of pictures taken this morning. These are my 2 sons and my oldest son's girlfriend. Hubby got in too later on but I was grilling the burgers. :-D I think I will take a night swim after I put my torches back up! Thanks again for all the help! I have my little oasis back and I...

My pool is nearly filled back up after draining due to CYA being too high. Question is, when I start adding borax and then baking soda do I need to put it in the skimmer or pour in front of water inlet? And how long do I wait in between putting each in....Also, since the water is 60% replenished...
