    Leveling ground for pool

    When I was digging I hit some old sprinkler lines. I hacked them off since I no longer have the system connected. You will need to cap the pipes off or re-locate the sprinkler heads. Don't need to water under a pool!

    Automatic vacuum for above ground pool.

    I also use the Barracuda Ranger - got it for a deal on craigslist. Works well, hoping it does better around my cake steps vs the ladder from last year. It would clean around, but the guide ring would catch on the ladder bottom.

    Started work on my 24" AGP...

    I used a Zircon electronic water level that worked great for one person use. Mounted the one side to a pre-measured height on some 2x4s and marked a line on another replica of that.

    My Craigslist 18x34 Doughboy AGP build

    Pool looks great! I just put ours up too. Didn't get as good of a CL deal as you did, but it was a fair price. I'm also a neighbor (Holland).

    First time pool owner, trying the BBB method.

    Put in the CYA this morning, tested this evening. Says CYA is now up to ~20 with FC at 14. Should I wait a few more days for CYA to come up, or add some more? Thanks

    First time pool owner, trying the BBB method.

    Hello all. So I finished putting up our pool this last weekend and was off to a great start after filling it with some city water that tested neutral. It was the perfect starting point. I, in my over excited-ness to keep the pool clear, added WAY too much bleach. The pool calc said 35oz of...
