    Time for a new liner!

    Time for a new liner!

    Hello all! Been a while since the last time I posted! Our liner is 13 years old and has lived out it's life. It has a few holes above the water line, and needless to say the sun has taken it's toll in regards to fading. So now we are thinking replace the liner? Replace the entire pool with...

    We don't have that problem here in SC. It is currently 99 outside (according to the computer). Our water temp is about 87. For everyone where summer is dragging it's heels to get there: I hope it gets there soon for you. Later, Calvin. :cheers:

    Newbie with Intex Pool - help needed...

    We had that problem when we had an Intex pool. We put a couple of two inch stainless balls in a plastic container, filled the rest of the way with water, put the lid on, and tied the complete contraption onto the skimmer hose. I also second the opinion that the black tape around the hoses will...

    Phosphates question.

    Hello everyone. I have just done my first test of the year on our pool. The pool has been looking good all winter and I pretty much did nothing from about November until now except keep things clean. My test results were as follows: FC=0 TC=0 CC=0 pH=7.6 TA=80 CYA=30 to 35 Local Leslies test...

    Water temp question.

    Thanks guys. It is only supposed to be that cold for one day. After that a couple of more nights in the low 20's and then back to normal. Later, Calvin.

    Water temp question.

    Hello all! It is getting ready to get cold here in sunny South Carolina. They are predicting a low of 9 degrees for Saturday morning. I am planning on insulating my pipes and skimmer. We have kept our AGP open all winter so far with the pump running 24/7 on low speed. Our current pool water...
