Thanks for replying but I don't think that is true. I see at least a couple on Amazon that include transformers and are wired to drop in the pool without going through the wall.

Does anyone have a suggestion for an add-on light for an above ground pool? I'm looking for the type that can be hooked up on the fly when you have company for an evening party. We have a full deck around our 30' above ground pool. So this would be something more of a magnetic type than a...

I took the light apart last night for a closer look. See attached pics. Turns out there isn't much of any rust involved below the light (a good thing) but more of a small crack in the wall. The outside of the hole at the bottom is actually very flared (bent over) with the crack in the middle...

Re: Patching 4" Round Hole in Vinyl Liner - Previously Pool Light The model of the light is a Hayward MODEL#SP056525A There are no screws involved in the installation. Basically you cut a circular hole in the liner and pool wall. There is an outer lens piece that gets pushed through the...

Hello everyone, When our pool was installed about 7 years ago, I made the unfortunate choice of having the pool company install a Hayward light (it was an option). This required them cutting a hole in the pool wall similar to what is done for the skimmer. I have a deck around half of the pool...

Thanks. That helps. Here's the piece I don't understand. That type is pulled pretty tight and obviously there's a good gap between it and the water. What happens when it snows? Obviously it's a lot of weight and isn't going to melt instantly. Do the cords holding it down stretch to...

Thanks. I really like that and also how it clamps down. The only think is that I built a deck right up to the edge of my pool halfway around it. So I really don't have any way of letting it hang over properly like in the picture. Only the very top of the pool is exposed where the deck is.

What's a round circle float? I'm also thinking car inner tubes now as well. Also large tractor tire inner tubes could really kick butt. Maybe Tractor Supply sells them?

Have been using a solid cover for the 6 or so years I've had my pool. It has worked fine but my pool is 30' round and the cover can be quite a bear to work with let alone sucking water and leaves off all winter. My current cover is shot and was thinking about giving a mesh one a try. Can...

I rarely have pillows survive the whole winter without popping by spring. Does anyone sell quality ones built to survive a tough winter with snow & ice? I have a 30' round pool and after owning it about 7 years I still don't know exactly what I should be putting under the cover for the winter.
