    New Pro Series installed

    Based on me lifting a leg, I would say it is in the 150-180 lb range

    New Pro Series installed

    I just looked at the TF 100 and TF 50 kits. Seems the 100 is the better value when you factor in the added test solutions. Not exactly sure what you are referring to as "guessing". Are the strips not accurate? Thanks for the link to the pool math in your signature. I had somehow skipped right...

    New Pro Series installed

    I will be glad to take some tomorrow. Overall, it is much nicer than the Intex set up we had a few years back. This would be comparable to the Intex Ultra series though, and the one I had was the blue with white round rails. I am pleased with this pool. I checked my levels this evening. From...

    New Pro Series installed

    HA HA. That is exactly what I have been doing! It doesn't work too good does it? Funny we both came up with the same solution, albeit one that doesn't work all that great.

    New Pro Series installed

    My daughter is enjoying this pool for the last few days. The skimmer and vacuum seem to work great on this particular set up. My biggest problem so far is in changing the cartridge filter. I can't seem to get the filter out of the skimmer without all of the collected trash going right back into...

    New Pro Series installed

    Trichloro-s-triazinetrione: 94.05%, Other Ingredients: 5.95%, Available Chlorine: 84.65% http://www.lowes.com/pd_289810-1772-05470AQU_0__?productId=4747203 This is what I put in. It did bring the PH down from what I consider 7.8 to the ideal range. I felt like that would be the best way to get...

    New Pro Series installed

    I am testing it with the 3 way kit from Walmart. I know I will need a better test kit and will get one in a few days. My main priority was to get chlorine in the water before the liner had algae growth on it. I did not add stabilizer. I am reading pool school now. Edited. I just learned the...

    need advice on sediment at bottom of pool

    I have seen something similar in all of the pools I have had from the small plastic up to this last pool I just filled. In my case, it is free iron that settles to the bottom. My well water has so much iron in it it will turn a cartridge filter orange within 8 hours of run time after filling. I...

    New Pro Series installed

    Well, decided I couldn't go with one of the real nice AGP, so the family bought a Pro Series 16x48" from Walmart over the weekend. I installed it on the same site as the old Intex was a couple of years ago. I had the Intex SWG setup on that pool but it only lasted about 3 years before the frame...

    Looking to install new above ground pool

    Great tips. Have looked at the Sharkline lineup. Not quite ready to spend what it will take to get what I want and not ready to sacrifice for less either. I am thinking a Venture with carribean liner, cartridge pump, and upgraded ladder. I am thinking I like Suzy's signature set up.

    Looking to install new above ground pool

    Hi, first post. I am wanting to install a new above ground pool. I am suffering from analysis paralysis. :shaking: I had an Intex basic frame pool several years ago we loved, but it only lasted about three years before the frame rusted out. We did have a salt water generator on it and loved the...
