    De-winterize plugs

    I'm actually in the Charlotte area. So it's even a little bit better. I just decided I didn't want to run the pool all winter long that's why we went with the cover and winterizing. By the way I found the third plug it was for an auto chlorinator at the bottom. So I got it up and running now the...

    De-winterize plugs

    I had a pool company close and install the new mesh cover on my pool last fall. I uncovered it today and the water is actually clear enough to see the bottom of the deep end. The questions I have are: There were 4 plugs and site glass in the strainer basket. Large one for the bottom of the...

    Chlorine Liquidator Installed

    New pool to me - trying to figure capacity

    I just bought a house that has a liner pool with a kidney type shape but the edges are all straight rather than rounded. Diagram attached. I have it figured at about 28000 gallons. The dotted line indicates a severe drop off from the 3 foot end about 1/3 of the pool to the deep end which goes...
