I was wondering if it would be an advantage to purchasing a second butterfly gasket and installing one of these gaskets on each side of the pool, rather than cutting the original gasket in half with a razor blade? Any thoughts? It's not a lot of money in the long run. Thanks, PJ:confused:

I have an Intex Ultra Frame with the sand filter and pump combo. For other owners of something similar, what hose or setup do you use when backwashing? I have a black hose with an end that fits inside the outlet but due to the water pressure I have to hold onto it the entire time. There MUST...

OK, my K-2006 Kit is almost 2 years old, stored mainly inside, except during last summer's short for me pool season (2 months - Aug/Sept). I am in Canada so I am a bit limited to what I can get. I noticed on Amazon.ca that I the Taylor K-2006 is available for $118 and shipping. Do I get a new...

Just wondering where my fellow Canadians are purchasing the Muriatic Acid? Also, is anyone able to find larger boxes of baking soda? If so, where? Thanks in advance!

So, our new pool is on order. We are in the process of planning the layout. I really like the idea of using the extruded pink foam. I assume that everyone is using the 3/4" thickness? Anyway, my first drawing on grid paper had pink foam sheets spread over the 12'x24' area, which with 4'x8'...
