    Recommendations for solar cover and reel

    I am wanting to get a solar cover for my 18" round Sharkline pool and it looks like a solar cover is a solar cover from what I have found. So my question is: what about a reel system? I saw the one mas985 made DIY Solar Cover Roller and that may be the simplest solution. Anyone have thoughts or...

    Solar heat question

    I have a 18' roundx54" deep AG pool, before spring we are going to put a fence around it. My plan is to put a narrow 'roof' on the east fence so that I can put a solar heater on it. That side of the fence will be in the sun from early morning to about 4pm. The fence will be 32 feet long and I...

    Solar heater suggestions?

    I have a 18' x 54" Sharkline pool and would like to have a better solar heater. I currently have one of the GAME dome and I think it does help some but would like more heat. I can put more of the GAME heaters in series, or would a panel be a better option? I do have a south facing garage roof...

    Inner Stabilizer rail too long?

    Last evening we got the wall up on the new pool; 18' Sharkline and as we went around I was putting the inner stabilizer rail on for extra support since it was just the wife and I. Putting it together as tightly as possible by hand it came out to be about 1.5" too long. I know it will come back...

    Ground prep question

When we ordered the pool last Sunday we were told 2 to 4 weeks for delivery. Well, yesterday I get a notice that it will be her Friday so it's time to get busy...

    Upgrading our AG pool

    The last 2 summers we've been using a Summer Escapes 15x48 pool that we had bought used but it was developing more leaks so we decided to pitch it and get a new one. Today we ordered a 18x52 Relaxing Meadows pool from Leslie's with a 20mil liner, foam cove and floor pad, and a DE filter. Looking...

    Herbicides in pool?

    We live in a rural area and have a wheat field right behind the house. Mid January we had several shrubs loose their leaves and some appear to have died (it's a little early to be sure). We suspect the wheat field was sprayed but have not been able to verify that. We did talk to a farmer who...

    Another newbie to the forum

    Greetings to all! We are fairly new to the pool scene, my first was a 15' inflatable ring style that we bought in late summer and set up in the back yard. Unfortunately, it was too shaded and we never got the water warm. The next year I moved it to a full sun location and all was well. Last year...
