    I have a sunken on ground pool that was installed last year. There are 2 jets just below ground level (soil around pool, not concrete). Over the winter I plugged the jets and filled with anti-freeze, but one plug wasn’t threaded properly. Pool guy confirmed with pressure test that there is a...

    test kit for Canadians?

    Looks like the TF-100 can't be shipped to Canada. Is there a way around this? If not, can someone recommend a kit that can be shipped to Canada. I read the K-2006 is comparable, but it's $144. Right now I just have the cheapo kit with chlorine and ph drops.

    First time opening pool/ winter cover question

    This will be my first time opening pool, it was installed last winter. I'm in Ontario, so I drained water down 18"(I think that's what it was), and filled the lines with the anti-freeze. We had alot of snow this year but i'm really surprised how much water is on top of the winter cover. It’s...

    Lansdcaping a pool without a pool deck.

    I have an onground pool, so sticks up 6-12" out of ground. Trying to avoid putting deck around. Right now i just have large river rocks but they are a pain to walk on. Would mulch be a bad idea? Anyone have any pics of pools with garden right up to the edge (no deck)? I know i'll need to walk...

    Wood planter around pool/section of metal fence? Fence ideas

    I'm having a sunken above ground pool installed next week. I'm on a very tight budget but i'd like to have a fence around the pool to prevent kids from getting in. It doesn't necessarily have to be 4' high, so i'm looking for some ideas. I like the black aluminum fencing but does not fit in my...

    Help me decide pool location/ layout

    I'm putting in an oval 15 x 30 "on-ground" pool that will be sunk in the ground. Having trouble deciding on where exactly to put it... My lot is very narrow, and there won't be a lot of privacy (new subdivision). Currently there is nothing except a floating wood deck (I might remove it and add a...

    Ideas around oval pool sunken in ground

    I'm getting a Rockwood pool which is like an above ground / onground pool. It can be sunk all the way in ground, they leave it out about 8" high so we can add deck or patio around it. It has a coping about 6" wide, but they say we can't pour concrete up to it. We're on a tight budget so I was...

    Wood above ground or Sunken On ground

    I'm looking at 15' x 30' oval. Either a wood above ground (or semi-below ground) by Auqubois OR a 'Rockwood' that is an oval sunken all the way in ground (can't have concrete poured next to it). We have young kids, so we would have to fence in the rockwood, plus the cost to add patio all the...
