Talk about letting air out of my solar cover!!!! :p:p:p Guess I shall stick with my solar cover then!!!

So you say leaving your pump off during the day and it will make it warm up faster and put the solar cover on at night?

Hello, I have a Doughboy sink in the ground pool. Sits about 18 inches out of the ground. Anyone have any ingenious ways to heat the pool water up as it goes through the return line? I know I could buy a heater, I am talking a cheap ingenious idea you have done that worked? Maybe wrapping the...

This is a fantastic idea! I was so flustered kneeling down by the side of the pool. Hah! Why didn't I think of just taking it inside in a nice cool environment!?!?! - - - Updated - - - Thanks everyone. Watching up on videos now. Will get out there tomorrow and try and tackle this. My fears...

Thanks everyone! I will check out the videos. I also updated my signature to show it was TF-100! Thanks!

So I was having issues with my pool. Very cloudy etc. I finally got all of that cleared up, but in the process I purchased a Taylor 100 kit (as suggested) with the auto stir. Well it arrived today. I am a bit intimidated. Any suggestions? :p:p:p

I am adding two pictures. One picture is of a silt like substance that I found coated in the inside of my basket yesterday when I found the pool cloudy. I'm wondering if the culprit might not have been my solar cover. I have had the pool open for over two weeks with no issues. I bring it the...

Thanks everyone for the help. I have added the info to my signature. I will double check on all of the models. I will also go through the links provided. It does have SOME PH, just very very little. The test I did with my test kit showed a very small amount, I just don't remember the numbers...

Hi! Thanks for your response. I bought a kit last year and used it today as well. Sometimes I get under confident in my abilities and test and still take it to the store. My test showed NO CHLORINE at all (which would be accurate due to the chlorinater being off) and very very little PH, I mean...

Hello, (Hope this is the right forum) I opened my pool a couple weeks ago and everything looked great right off the bat. I put on my solar cover a couple of days ago and everything still looked great. Last night I was outside finishing up the deck and everything looked fine.....This afternoon I...

Thank you! Yes, these were very easy to make. Really took less than an hour to put 9 together and hang them. I was able to purchase all the items needed from Home Depot. The only thing I did different from the instructions, was I drilled a small hole to put in a screw to help keep the wick to...

Deleted - - - Updated - - - You have a very nice setup! Did you end up with any wrinkles because of the deep middle? My pool installer the way he dug out the middle couldn't get around from having wrinkles. I have four decent size wrinkles coming out from the corner of each middle to the...

Wow! I wish I would have realized I could have concrete decked around ours! The deck we put around our pool hit almost $5,000 in materials. No labor costs as my wife, friends and I did it ourselves. I wonder what the concrete would have ran....On the high side the pool really only sits out of...

Yes they are! Pinterest is the way I believe my wife is trying to kill me! ;) . They are "wine bottle tiki torches" They actually turned out better than I thought they would.

We didn't add a door. I put the box on four caster wheels (two being locking) for easy roll out. I added two handles to the box to help pull it out. Also added decorative eye / bolt locks to the side of the box that attaches to the fence 2x4s for added stability The reason we didn't add a door...

I will try and shrink the pics down so I can add them to the thread. I had added 26 pics to photobucket and didn't think I could add that many here. Sorry for the troubles. When I tested it out on my phone and laptop the link worked fine :(. Thanks for the help!

Hello, I just wanted to post the images of our pool that we had installed / deck. We installed a 16 x 32 Doughboy into the ground (mostly) anyways. It has a 7 foot deep 'middle" (Think sport pool) with two main drains at the bottom. I do not have pictures of those (sorry). Anyways, I was...

That would be awesome! Thanks the link too!

Hello! I have a 16 x 32 Doughboy Sunk in pool. It sits about 3 feet or so in the ground on most of the areas and goes 7 1/2 feet deep in the middle (sports type pool). Anyways, we decided to deck around the entire pool, leave a 3 inch gap under the top rails for pool cover access and ease of...
