    26x52 Intex Ultra Frame Install - Nebraska

    Putting in the pavers sucked, lol. I'm definitely glad I found a thread on this site about using a tamper as part of a water level. Worked awesome! My youngest daughter who was a BIG helper says the gorilla pad would make an awesome blanket. Air guitar with the frame work. Let's fill...

    New Intex Pool Setup Tips?

    I'm in the same boat. Getting ready to set up a 26' Ultra Frame that I intend to leave up. I was thinking about Rust-Oleum primer followed by enamel. The truck bed liner material is intriguing.

    Switching from hth tablets to TFPC

    Today I added 22 oz by volume of 2,4,6 Trihydrozy-s-triazine 100% It says it lowers pH, since the pool is currently 7.6 I'm hoping it will all work out great. I'll test CYA in 7-10 days.

    Switching from hth tablets to TFPC

    Thanks! I just noticed on the bag it says "other ingredients 52.4%" and then in the directions it says "won't over stabilize your pool" which led me to think it may add CYA. I'll grab some stabilizer from Menards on the way home from work tomorrow. Thanks again!
