Mine is drained and folded up and in the garage... Next year I need to do a better job leveling and then the pool will stay up year round.

Hey Waterworx, how are things going?

66 degrees this morning... I'm thinking it's time for closing 'er down. Sad Day!

If the timer circuit is on a GFCI, you can remove the GFCI on the cord end and install just a regular cord end. A lot of the cord end type GFCI devices are made to trip when power is lost.

http://www.familyleisure.com/Discount-P ... nter-Cover What are your thoughts on this cover? Anyone using this? I think I would have to do a lot of modifications to make it work with my Intex, but the idea seems right...

I use a Myron L 6Psi. I use it for work and all my calibration solutions are also supplied by work. I calibrate it weekly. I think as far as price goes, if you are willing to buy a high quality meter for upwards near $1,000.00, those electronic meters are very reliable. Now my experience...

See, another reason I need a plaster in ground pool... So I can learn things like this!!

Although it does not skim all the water, having the cover like in the picture allows the cover to not get sucked into the skimmer and thus some skimming will occur... [attachment=0:yscli047]ImageUploadedByTapatalk1344283459.724682.jpg[/attachment:yscli047] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Add bleach!

I use this with my 2650 gph Intex filter system. Works like a champ! http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007P ... 02_s00_i03

Ok, that whole bring over the house thing would freak me out just a little bit!!!

I use the skimmer with my cover. I have to pull the cover up the bracket a little bit to keep it from getting sucked into the skimmer.

I hear ya!!! I grew up with a large rectangular plaster inground pool most my whole life until I was 18 or so. Moved out and haven't had a pool of my own until about 3 weeks ago. Only 18 years later I finally bought an 18'x4' Intex Ultra-Frame. I think with all the equipment rental for the...

Intex states in all their paperwork to not return it to the store. I would consider setting it up if the ground will be ready for it and just treat it like any other above ground pool and plan on winterizing it. I set ours up this summer hastily and am not 100% happy with everything so I will...

This build gives me ideas for an area in my backyard!!! I wonder if I can save enough cash over the next few years to maybe get something like this done!! It looks awesome!!

Wow!! This website is gonna be bad for our pocket book when it comes time to build our next house...

I think with these style pumps that the lower the water level gets the harder it will be for the pump to remain primed. The sump pump I got emptied my pool so fast that I had started draining and doing all my work and refilling it all the same day and dosed it that night still so it was well...

That looks awesome!! I'm hoping to get rid of the Intex in a few years and install a larger above ground with a deep end. What part of MN are you in?

I just picked up a case of 4 gallons of "Liquid Shock" for $9.95 and Mills Fleet Farm. Looks like they are already getting ready to clearance but I think with the warmer temps this year, they may re-stock but we will see...

I went to a hardware store and bought a sump pump. 3000 gph for 80 bux made draining the pool quick and easy!

I bought a 2" drain hose, the flat rolled up type. I was able to stretch it over the threads but I still wasn't happy... I ended up buying a fitting like this: [attachment=1:2r5ux4xy]ImageUploadedByTapatalk1343180405.524176.jpg[/attachment:2r5ux4xy] And then just threaded it on until it was...

Iron isn't an indication of hardness. If you have 50 grains hardness, how much of that is calcium? That and alkalinity are the more important numbers to look at when filling a pool. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
