Wanting to get 75 lbs of boric acid. No free shipping at Dudadiesel, where I got it a few years ago. Here is what I have found, calculating the most cost-effective sizes from each site and the lowest cost shipping to my home zip code in Missouri, 64801. I also called the local farm supply...

I read through all 29 pages of the “So you want to add Borates” thread in one sitting today. I read with interest the two posts from Big Island Pool Service about Solubor vs Granubor on pp16ish. I also read the links to Richard’s posts on Borax sources and the first inquiry about about Solubor...

We successfully built a huge, unconventional AGP this summer, but all through the process, the plumbing is the thing that causes my eyes to glaze over and makes me feel like a complete dummy. I have read for hours on here about how to winterize, and I am mid-process in putting grommets into a...

Anyone know very much about Pentair sand filter varieties or have any of these? I am buying equipment for a new 34k gallon DIY pool, and planning the plumbing is the trickiest part for me so far. 1) BARGAIN OPTION: Pentair Sand Dollar SD80 is $350 75gpm/3.5sq ft (this is $100 less than I paid...

Been agonizing and hounding Craigslist ads long enough. We laid tarps out in our yard this evening and chose the spot and size we want. Ready to pull trigger on biggest oval we can find that is rated for partial bury and eventual saltwater use. Found the Saltwater 8000 or Saltwater LX on...

After learning to do BBB on this site with various softside pools the past 10 years, our 26' intex ultra pool has died. We want to upgrade to bigger (33' round unless I can find a bargain on 20x40 oval) and more permanent. I was hoping to spend under $5000, but if I have to go higher to get it...

Hi. I am a pool-frustrated mom of 6 married to a traveling, non-handy guy. We bought and put up a used 26' ultra intex pool last week. The previous owners told me to check out BBB here (which I did and was using), but now I am having trouble with the filter pump. We've had too much rain, so...
