    So I opened up my pool and the side deck, which is carpeted gray, has some staining on it. What's the best way to clean this? Recommended products? I'm assuming a limited amount of products would b ok to use since you gotta be careful with getting whatever you use getting in the pool. Thx

    Leak where the valve sits on the filter. New filter. What did I do wrong?

    What I can think of, is that I lubricated where the o ring meets the valve, but not where the valve sits on the filter. Could that of been my mistake? It's on both sides where the clamp is tightened by the screw Thx Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    It's there anything I should specifically look at when replacing to replace a ladder?

    Probably a stupid question, but I'm new to all this. The ladder that came with the pool got knocked down by a wind storm and broke. Now, is there a name for these types of ladders? Is the difference between posts standard? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
