So I went outside today to add some chlorine to my pool when I discovered my pool was empty, it freaked it me, I looked, no hoses popped, how the heck did this happen? I climbed inside and moved my just recently purchased generic kreepy crawly and there behind the ladder is a nice 6 inch long...

When I made the switch the BBB method, I stopped putting my solar cover on because I wasn't sure if it would handle it, I was adding bleach almost every day or other day and it was a pain to put on and off and on and off by myself. I ruined my prior cover by shocking the pool with the cover...

So I'm tired of buying Air Pillows just to not have them last the winter so this year I'm using a tire inner tube, Amazon should have it here on Thursday. I'm assuming the same thing should apply like the air pillows...don't inflate it 100%, just 50-75% full. Any thoughts

I'm wondering what procedures everyone else uses to protect themselves from chemicals. It never seems to fail, no matter how careful I am I end up with bleached clothes while adding pool chemicals. Either a dot splashes of the safety seal when I open a new bottle, or splash back when pouring...

I've owned my above ground pool for maybe 6 years now, I've never run in to this before. A few weeks before opening my pool I was hearing what I thought was a strange sounding bird in the area, usually during dusk. Never saw it. Then one day last week I've decided it was time to remove the...

is it possible/feasable to fix an unlevel above ground pool without draining the whole thing and losing the liner? One side of my pool is about 2 to 3 inches lower than the rest, and I generally don't notice or care, except when it rains because that side of the pool then starts to overflow...

So today I had some free time and was looking at my pool when I got to thinking (its dangerous, I know) Chlorine I can buy anywhere Bleach is sold. To change my pH I can buy washing soda and/or borax wherever I buy laundry detergent or Muriatic Acid at the Hardware store. To change my TA I use...

I'm not ready to start my pool opening quite yet, maybe in another week or two, but I did sneak a peak under the cover and noticed to my surprise the pool is clear this year, the first after 3 years of swampy messes caused by incorrectly closing or the cover falling in (2 years in a row) over...

I know its a few months away, heck I'm still trying to open my pool and clear it up, but not having any instructions on closing (I've just always tossed whatever the store said into the pool, put a pillow in and covered it up) I have a question. Pillows.... Is more than one better than just...

When I moved into this house I was sort of thrown into learning pool maintenance.....we had one as a kid, my grandparents have had one, but now it was my time to own one. My Grandparents had a Sand Filter, my parents had a DE Filter, and I got a Cartridge filter. It's a Hayward Missile type...

*sigh* So I've creeped on this board for a few years, read the pool school, and use The Pool Calculator to figure out what I need to add, but for some reason every year I can never get my openings correct. So I end up at my local pool store saying..."It's cloudy, now what" Once I get it clear...

This is the third year of living in our new home that came with this AGP, and this year appears to be something special as I'm not sure what to do. This is also the first year that I discovered TFP.com and have been successfully saving money using bleach instead of pool store products. So lets...
