Yeah, the walls are fine.

I called the guy he said he’ll have to check, depends on the pattern I picked. But probably 27

Idk I’ll call and ask.

Hi Everyone, haven’t posted here for a while—probably because you all have helped me so much to become a semi-competant pool boy! I just got a quote (and some sticker shock!) to replace my pool liner and I have some questions. Background: this is a IG kidney 14k gal, 33 x 18 pool. I replaced...

Also, what’s the other forum?

Thank you! I will need to shop around for that. I have done most of my own maintenance but I do like to have some close and open my pool and the 2 stores I’ve used here in Yakima really suck! I’m thinking doing the wet test thing will provide some insight. I really want my wife to try some of...

Wow thanks. Some of that I never would have considered. I agree with you about the highly molded seats and the jets—but I think my wife is the opposite. Maybe we can find one with both bench seating some “Lounge chairs“ with lots of jets. She has a lot of back issues and the jets help. Gets...

Lol yeah I found that! I should have known! This forum is the best!

Also, anyone aware of a similar forum/group for hot tub owners! Thanks!!

Thanks for replying, it was a smartpool. But it is finally dead after 4 years. They stopped making them. And I decided to just go ahead and get a nice new Dolphin. I appreciate it though!

Hi, I am replacing the cord on my pool robot. When I unscrewed the part that screws over the plug in for the electrical wires there was a silicone type substance which I am thinking you are supposed to put on the threads when you screw the part in. The threads are plastic on both sides. I need...

Thank you Kim, pools full now and it looks good!

Thanks Dave, haven't really looked yet.

Hi everyone, haven't posted for a while. I am hoping you can put my mind at ease. We had a lot of snow here and the snow melted and brought the level of my closed pool up past the skimmer. I put my little pump in to bring the level down below the skimmer. It's a very slow pump and I planned...

I am going to incorporate both these ideas, thanks. I also have my robot in there to help circulate the water.

Hi, my pump will be in the shop for a while. I have a new-this-year vinyl liner that I would not like to ruin. I am thinking I can delete the bleach I need to add to about 10 to 1 in a bucket of water and walk around the edges pouring it in real slow? Do you guys think this would be safe? Thanks!

Sorry for the typo Joeg!

I'm talking about blue bubble wrap.

Jong, I thought that also but a couple of my friends who live here told me that their pool would really heat up with the solar cover on on a sunny day. So I tried it, and it's true. We get a lot of sun here and it can also get really windy so the prevention of evaporation probably has...

:hammer: :hammer: :hammer: :hammer: One time only. Do I need to get a new vial for chlorine testing now? If o, where's a good place to get one?

Thanks Richard I went to Home Depot and they had the goof off in gallons so I bought one. Tried a little yesterday just to see how it will work and it looks like it will do the job with a lot of elbow grease. Might look into renting or buying a pressure washer to make the job easier...

Johnnybonz, I finally got a chance to do it tonight and it's working great. I just used the ABS pipe and drilled holes in it and then pushed the fasteners that I bought from the Solar Roller website directly into the holes and it worked that worked fine. Whole project costs me less than $50...

I don't know about cutting it but you could probably sell that on Craigslist even if it's in bad shape. They cost $1,000 new so you should be able to get a couple hundred bucks for it or at least give it away to someone that would haul it off.

Thanks again Mark. I have ordered all the parts, I'll let you know how it turns out! You have a very pretty pool and deck, BTW. I love the brick coping.

Hi, I ripped out the old ugly green outdoor carpet that was covering the concrete deck around my pool when I bought this house. It's been there a while (I'm sure) so it came up easy. However, in some places there is yellow residue from the carpet and the adhesive they used to lay it. I know I...

Thanks Mark!

Mark, That solar roller looks great, and expensive! How did you make one yourself?

Nope, wouldn't work with returns on the bottom.

Believe it or not I don't work for pool skim but you can use it no matter where your return is located. At worst you might need to buy a length of PVC pipe. But I have been astounded at what a great job it does at getting all the tree junk off my surface even on a really windy day. It does such...

I highly highly recomend the poolskim and they are only about $110 including shipping.
