We just installed a new liner in our pool and went j hook because we thought it would be easier to DIY. The only tip I have is that it had to be stretched. We started putting it on the wall and it didn't fit, had to go back have someone stretching and pulling while someone else installed the...

How far is the depth?

K... New plan of action... :) would black plastic underneath help? Or would I need something thicker? A quick run to lowes for some fittings and I can switch them to parallel. Thanks everybody for the input, will let you know how it goes. :)

not sure which brand, but just a 4 x 20 setup. Hubby could build it, but unfortunately right now he's working 11 hrs a day 6 days a week (on midnights) so I don't think building it ourself right now is worth it. Tomorrow I'm going to change out the intex filter for a new one. It's not dirty...

Thanks Isaac. Need to do some more thinking. How long do the solar panels usually last?

Okay, my solar panels are about 7 years old and still going strong with no leaks. :) But..... this year they are just not raising the temp as much as usual. Flow is good, run them seperately off an intex 2500gpm pump. I think the problem is that they are no longer the dark black that they once...

Picked up 2 of the same ones as Durf at Kmart for $13 each. One would have been plenty for a soft glow in my 18' AG.

usually may to sometimes end of september. I heat with solar, which isn't up and running yet. We don't cover our pool, just drain it down. Ours is already open and the water is already 72 degrees.

Looks awesome!! We are also in the Boro. Blackman area.

I have used the vacuum hose to drain. I stick it through the skimmer and down to about the level I want to stop at. It's a little harder to get the syphon started, but drains the water way quicker than garden hoses.

sometimes a sense of humor is the only thing that gets you through times like this. :) We were lucky, only the pool and outbuilding got water in them. And suprisingly, after being underwater for two days in a row, both the pool pump and the intex pump are running this morning. I'm amazed...

so glad it's sunny here this morning......we flooded both Saturday and then again Sunday. My pump was most of the way underwater on Saturday. Suprisingly enough, Sunday morning, both main pump and the intex I use for solar panels both fired up.....hoping they do today. Haven't been able to...

Here are ours...... we've buried the pipes since this pic was taken

We've got Junior....and LOVE him.

My next door neighbors no longer speak to us, which really doesn't bother me. :-D We refused to make our pool a "neighborhood pool" and they got ******. We only have an 18' AG, so it really isn't large enough for a ton of rowdy kids. But we also had the problem in the winter because they...

Already working on getting everything from around the pool. Just didn't know if rustoleum was the way to go, or something else. Thanks!

Hey everyone! I've got a problem here that I wanted to see if I can get some input on. This will be the third year for our pool. We noticed some "bubbling" of the paint along the bottom and when we investigated further it seems there is a line that is about 2" to 2 1/2" from the bottom track...

I've got a 1 1/2 hp pump. Definately stirs up this little 18' pool. :) Sometimes Dave pops up when I burp him and sometimes he just raises a little. According to how well I filled him with water first. We got .5" of rain Friday, just enough to make the weeds grow. I'll admit I've been...

Thanks for all your help guys! I've relubed that stupid o ring so many times I lost count. :lol: I also sprayed 1/2 can of shaving cream all over everything and nothing showed up. I also posted over on PS, and Waste suggested drilling holes in the vacuum plate and it worked like a charm...

Hey Mike! I've burped him and anything else I can think of. I even blew out the hoses with him hooked on. (He didn't look like he liked it. LOL) It even does it when I've got the regular vac hooked up with a different hose. I've even hooked him up straight into the hole in the bottom of...

I'm having some problems with my pump. I have a sand filter and a 1 1/2 hp pump. Last year we had no problems and did take the pump in for the winter. I started noticing that when I ran my suction side cleaner (diver dave) that the pump basket would get about 2" of air in the top and the...
