Enough said!!!

Some of the picture people post are so large you can hardly make out what there are trying to show you. Is there some way they could automatically be reduced or limit the size they use? Just a thought

Split off of How to bond a resin pool? JasonLion You're safer but not completely safe. You have to remember that you don't have any metal parts in contact with the the water so if some electrical equipment was to fall in the water, the breaker or the GFCI will not trip. In order for a breaker...

When testing I know that the CYA test is effected by cold water temps (by cold I'm talking around 50) but what about all the other test are they effected as well?

Over the weekend my filter developed a crack. It's only 1.5 years old. :twisted: I've somewhat expected it would happen because every time the pump would start you could see the top of the filter flex about 1/4 of an inch. Then when I would turn on the solar heater it would flex another 1/8.The...

Thanks to the advice on this site we went on vacation for 12 days and came home to a almost algae free pool. I brought the FC to 18, covered it,turned the pump off. When I returned home I still had a FC level of 4. :goodjob: :cheers: I had no algae except one small spot that I found in the...

I'm in the middle of battling something in my pool :evil: and was wondering, at what level should you shock it at if you don't know what is causing CC of 1 and FC to drop overnight? I have no indication of algae. So do I stay at normal level of shock which for me is 16 or do you go to 27 for...

For the last month and a half I've had a CC of .5. Earlier this summer CC was at 0 and all of last summer it was at 0. When this started happening I had something consuming my chlorine. I brought the pool up to shock level until it held over night and I left it their for 2 more days to make...

I've been considering putting one in but I'm not sure how well they work on an above ground pool. Any info from people that have them would be helpful. Thanks

I can officially say I'm done with the pool. The last of the flowers got planted this spring. The grass is still a little thin around the patio but it looks 100% better than the photo in the slide show now. If you could replace the old picture with this new one I would appreciate it Thank you!!

I'm sure I should have waited till it was warmer, :oops: but I just couldn't take it anymore. first time going through a winter. We are starting to get highs in the 40's to low 50's and felt if I pulled the cover off it would start to warm up faster with the sun hitting it. I also had to...

Yesterday it was 40 degrees and partly cloudy. (that's really warm this time of year) but it made me feel like spring was on it's way. and then today hit's to remind me it Jan. today blizzard warning Cloudy and cold, with a steady temperature around -3. Wind chill values between -26 and -31...

I found a good deal on Bleach tonight and picked up 30 gallons, but on the drive home I thought to myself, I wounder how bleach is made and what's all in it. If my family is going to be swimming in the stuff I really should know more about it. I found this article about how you can make your own...

Has anyone ever had to deal with I.D theft? The more I do things online like taxes and ordering stuff with credit cards the more I wonder when it will happen to me. I found this company called life lock www.lifelock.com that seam like it would be the way to go vs. the credit monitoring...

I know it's only August but I need to get a cover order before the snow flies. Just hoping I could get some advice on what brand of cover would hold up over the years in MN winters? And anything else I would need for closing an AG pool for the winter. Not sure what I need to do to handle all the...

First of all this was my first test with the TF-100 and it couldn't have been easier to use. I have been using test strip for testing until reading how inaccurate they can be. I feel the $68 was cheap insurance for the family and liner :-D . My results are: FC 6.5 CC .5 TC 7.0 pH 7.5...

I have finally finished the pool. I started by digging the pool in the ground 18" and digging the deep end on May 26 only to look at the hole for 2 more weeks because the pool was delayed at the factory :x!!! When I did get get the pool, I started on June 9 and had the pool up and filling on...

Hello to all. I'm sure glad I found this site it look like a wealth of info. I wish I would have found it when I was putting up my first pool this year. Might of helped the stress level. :evil: I finished the pool about 3 weeks ago. It's an AG 16' by 32' 52" side walls with a 6' deep end...
