This season were having to replace the frame for our 18 x 48 coleman . (water looks great for 5 months of being covered lol) Already have the frame all ready to go,, just a case of draining and getting it going... I'm planning to replace each part as i'm taking the older / rust worn part...

Yea its pretty shaded in that area. i guess that's the way its gonna be...,, when this new frame goes on,, get another 2-3 years out of it ( hopefully with liner withstanding),, then go ahead with a resin pool. Just gonna see if it makes it through winter lol

Frames only 3 years old,,,, but within the first year the frame already showed signs of rust,,, thats when i contacted coleman,and warrantied the frame.. So its been waiting in the shed till the right moment lol (Once this new one finally goes,, were just gonna go and get a resin AGP... )

So,im no expert but i feel our current pool has come to the end of its life lol ,well the frame has anyway.. I have a replacement frame waiting for the next season.. My question is, where it had rusted the most (is where the deck is,,and where the kids been getting in and out...)...

My local Walmart has an "Aiper seagull 800" robot pool vac for just under $200... just wondering if anyone on here have any experience with this model,, Last season i was cleaning manually,,, so this year its gonna be pool suction vac or the robot vac... lol

From what ive seen and reading, if i do order a cover for a 18 ft round pool,, its is infact 21ft ( giving that extra few feet for overhang), just hope thats enough when adding those winter pillows lol

We have a 18x48 above ground pool cover ,and i also know that the cover needs to be a few feet bigger to accommodate that overhang.. Would it be a good recommendation to go for a cover for a 21ft size pool,( giving 3 extra ft along with that additional 3 or 4 ft that is the norm for a pool...

From the lip of the deck to the top of the pool frame is 8". and then that gap between the pool frame and wood beam is approx 2-3"

Basically it was a straight out switch,, i did buy few other connectors to make life easier. The Intex 633T (2500gph) i bought was only $150 .I'm happy with it so far,, just realizing that there's more cartridge filter cleaning at the beginning of the season lol Saying that you could go the...

yeah,, i mean it does the job,,, barely,, but within a few months i picke up a intex 633T, worked so much better.

Upgraded from the crappy pump that came with the pool last year to the Intex 633T. I got 3 filters on stand by, lol Any particular sand filter you would recommend to look at ?,,( if i went that route)

Bought the exact one last year around this time,, of course had to add the Hayward skimmer,,(really easy to do) and upgraded the pump to the Intex 633T. Noticed a little surface rust on the pool frame this week but apart from that i'm totally happy with it.

Im sure i'm right in my assumption of this issue but i figured is run it past here. Running the pool pump for apporx 10-15 minutes and then the flow rate drops... if i clean out the filter and restart it it runs great for another approx 15 min then same thing. Im also using the Hayward...

The pools been going great and yesterday the misses suggested that we need to start closing the pool :(, Then again the kids were in it yesterday for a total of 5 minutes,, due to it being too cold, lol

The Muriatic Acid i have is 31.45%,, on the app would i select the 29% or the 31.45 % (20° Be) ?,, This is what i have > https://www.lowes.com/pd/Kem-Tek-2-Gallon-Muriatic-Acid/4570022

Yes i did the CYA was just over 30. The return valve i have is the intex one that has " Hydro Aeration Technology ". Guess that just means it lets air in to make it bubble more lol

And im back,, Fc was down to 9 this morning,so i went ahead and did the full set of tests and logged them.

So do the tests when we hit Fc of 10 or lower?

re-reading it , it does sound a little weird lol,,sorry Yes its SO clear ! Cant believe the pool's looking so good,, compared to last weeks picture. how i need to gradually let down the Fc and take care of the Ph?

Last night my Fc was 17,, this am 16.5..... not too sure why. At 6pm it was 13 , added the necessary chlorine to bring it up to 16, re tested at 7pm and it was at 17. When counting the drops, do you count the last drop that completely changes the water to clear?

So last nights reading(21h45) was Fc 18.5.. ( due to me not using the correct chlorine % on the app. This morning (09h00) it was 17... Loving how clear the pool is looking though, but the misses isnt liking the temp ,, 72F this morning... think the highest it has got to over the summer is 80...
