The only other issue I can think might give you a problem is where you have to drill the new holes...it won't have the rolled end that gives it more strength so that the bolts don't tear through the single layer. You could try bending the end back on itself and adding a strip of steel or...

Hey welcome fellow Canuck to TFP :wave: I know what you mean about the cold water...mine hasn't been above 76 all summer :( Kids don't mind it though.

I bought my pool used as well and it wasn't a demo from the pool store either :) I had to take it apart and set the thing back up myself as well. If you're a handy person it's not that hard...just takes time. Most important part is to make sure the ground is flat and level. I had to buy a new...

Hey I don't think the TF-100 kit is expensive :) I wish I could find a kit that only costs $70...In Canada the Taylor distributor controls the prices and the K2006 is at least $150 :shock: So the TF-100 is a GREAT deal! :goodjob: I bit the bullet and bought a K2006 because the strips I was...

Maybe an airleak in the pipe between the pump and filter...or a blockage in the line between pump and filter or in the input to the multivalve???

Here's another one for the slideshow :) Thanks Edit: Deleted attached picture

Sorry to bring an old thread back to life...but I'm curious Axl, if you had any luck building a reel system? Do you have any pictures if you did build something? I'm trying to figure something out for my own pool. Thanks

Thanks to all for the kind words. I have purchased a solar cover but I have to figure out a way to mount a reel system to make it easier to get the cover on and off. The white fencing makes this a bit of a challenge. I was actually going to post this as another topic elsewhere :)

We bought this pool and the deck used and rebuilt the entire setup to create our "new to us" little piece of heaven. It's not much but our 3 kids love it and we enjoy sitting on the deck sipping a nice cool drink :) The only new parts are the liner and the gate door...oh ya and the new coat of...

Picture number 1.

Would that be the Lake of Bays area...near Baysville or were you north of Huntsville. Know the area fairly well. All that talk about BBQ'n is making me hungry :)

Boy that almost sounds like it could be fun :-D An underwater trampoline! You'll have to post some pics if it works out.

I'm not an expert...but from what I understand is that an expandable liner just has some extra material in the bottom portion that allows it to go deeper into a dished out bottom. As far as I know they are made from the same material. I bought a normal liner and dished out the bottom of my pool...

That's bad...but funny, I like it :)

Some of the public pools in our city use platforms for the small kids to stand on during swimming lessons. The frame is built from PVC piping and I think the floor is just a sheet of plywood or plexi glass. They aren't very big...maybe 4' x 4', and they just drop them into the pool for the kids...

Use the 3" chlorine pucks as a hockey puck to practice your wrist shot. :)

Hey do you want to swap some water, mine's only at 72 F! :-D Hasn't been a very warm summer up here. :santa:

I just ordered a kit from Paul as well but there is a link to another site that sells them in Canada in this thread place-to-buy-test-kits-in-canada-t7694.html As stated by others you won't find it much cheaper than what Paul is selling the kit for. I even tried contacting the Canadian...

Cool Thread! :wave: Lets see...live way up north in Ontario...had recently watched the movie Northcountry when joining another forum and needed a name...it seem to fit. Northcountry I became and use it on most forums I lurk on. This forum is the best though...It's has a great community and...

One question...where in the hard drive can you find the earth magnet? Never taken one apart so not sure where to look :) Thanks for the post and the pictures.

For pool building regulations in Sudbury - Canada, I just went to the City website and found the bylaw regarding pools and fencing requirements. Chain link is ok to use in Sudbury but it has to be a certain size. Even the wood fence has to be built a certain way.

Yeah I'm about 3.5 hours away from the nearest crossing, so at about 2 tanks of gas @ $100 per, it'll cost me more :shock: I do have a brother that lives in Fort Erie so that idea might work :roll:

Good to know...I didn't realize that the owner of Apollo was a member, and I do like the idea of having the stirrer and was leaning towards buying from them. Thanks for the review.

I've been looking around trying to find a place to purchase the Taylor K2006 kit in Canada. None of the local pool stores carry a good kit like this one and they usually say something like "why would you want a kit like that". I finally found a couple of online places in Canada that sell them...

I actually grew up in Muskoka...played a few hockey tournaments in Midland. "Molson" a true Canadian beer :cheers:

Perfect...thanks for the great information. Sounds like I have some digging to do :shock:

I did a search for this but didn't find the answer I was looking for. I'm installing an 18' AG with a standard overlap liner and was wondering: 1. Is it advisable to dig the center of the pool out to make it a bit deeper in the middle? 2. If so how deep would I be able to get away with? 3...

Hello from the Nickel City in Northern Ontario. I found this great forum a while ago when I was looking into buying a new AG pool after owning a 18' portable pool for a year. Glad I found the "pool school" section because I lost the pool last year to algae because I didn't have a clue what I was...
