First I'd like to thank everyone here who has helped me keep my pool sparkling clean for for 3 yrs now :) After 6 years of Intex pools my hubby has finally agreed to let me upgrade...woohoo! :party: I think this record heat might also have something to do with it :wink: I already have my...

Okay, I've been working on shocking my pool since Thursday. Last night my FC was 22.5 after sun down. This morning it was 20.5. I did put a 3" puck(hth dual action chlorinating)in the skimmer. Took it out of the skimmer and put it in a floater around 3:30 today. Hoping it will slowing help...

This is my 4th year with my Intex pool, but, it's the first year that I've left it up all winter. It was only covered with the solar cover all winter. There are leaves in the bottom still. I can't see them to get them yet. I'm in SW Iowa and like everyone else I was getting antsy to open...

I have a relatively small space for my new pool. Unless I can convince my hubby to move a shed...and I don't think that is going to happen :( This summer we had a 16ft pool. Next spring I want either an 18ft round or 12x18 oval. (I want a 12x24, but, just not enough room)! Guess I should...

Okay, I know that we have had a HOT July/August here in the midwest....but, we didn't run our air full blast either...we kept it about 75* Went to pay my bill today....and it's over DOUBLE the normal amount.... :shock:

We are looking into buying a 15x30 above ground pool next spring. Just wondering if there is a time of the year that you get the best deals. We are in the midwest....so short pool season :( Thanks

We have decided to stick with our smaller pool for now. We might be moving next spring. So hubby said I could look into getting a hot tub instead. At this point we don't need a fancy one with all the bells and whistles...just looking for a nice older one. There are so many brands out there...

FC 5 CC .5 TC 5.5 pH 7.5 TA 220 CH 390 CYA 10-15(the dot is almost gone, can barely see it) It's been 8 days since I added CYA. Should I wait a couple more days before I add more CYA? And what should I do about the TA & CH? Off to read more in the pool school. I should add that it has been...

Okay, here goes. I tested her water--- FC 0 ph 7.5 TA 110 CH 150 CYA 0 She's added a ton of bleach...I keep telling her that it is just burning up without the CYA. I had my hubby get her some today(I will take it to her tomorrow). She also put in a bunch of clarifier....I'm not sure on what...

I would like everyone's opinion here... Is $1200 a good price for a 12 yr old 13x21 Superpool?

My SIL is renting a house that has an IG 20x40 pool. 40,000 gallons and has a liner. It has a wall skimmer and one return in the shallow end. It has a "main" drain the deep end(12ft). She is a total pool newbie and is having a horrible time keeping it clean. I'm going to help her thursday...

I'm new here and been reading all the very helpful info. I've read many threads, but, haven't found the answer to my question. I need to add CYA to my pool. But, I learned from reading thread that just pouring the granules in the pool is bad. Read that you could put it in the surface...

Hi all, I found this site a couple of days ago and can't stop reading :) I only have an Intex 16'x48" Ultra Frame pool. Someday I hope to have a "real" pool!!! I just can't say Thank You enough for this site!!! I've have learned so much in the past two days!!! I even told my SIL about this...

Okay, set up my pool the middle of May. I test daily with the test strips that came with the pool/SWG. According to the test strips has been at normal levels until last week. It started reading 0 FC. We have had a LOT of rain lately, pool overflowing. I've had to backwash to lower water...

I have found one for a good price on craigslist. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with them??? Thanks!
