Hi JShearer, I am looking at the same manufacturer and I just opened an Alibaba acct so I can send an inquiry. Do they deal with residential user 1 time order? How much did they quote you for shipping? Please update this if you decide to go with them this is an interesting thread since the...

Hi Pv2, The lawn is held down by 6 inch nails but it also have sand filler on it so I don't think the nail will come out and be a danger, I will let you know if that is not the case. Pool delivery was delayed, it is still waiting in transit. Hope it arrive by tomorrow so we can set it up in...

Anyone used FlowXtreme Cotton tails as replacement media for Sand or Cartridge filter? If so, what is your experience about it. I am thinking of upgrading to a sand filter if the filter that comes with the pool I bought could not keep up to the cleaning demand as the other users complain but...

I just ordered the Bestway Power Steel 13.91' x 8.2' x 39.5" Oval Frame pool from Walmart for my kids. I am expecting delivery by May 5th and hoping to have it setup and running by my daughter's birthday on May 8 to keep them busy and happy during the COVID quarantine period. The description...

My local Walmart store have a 10.5% pool chlorine and it is only $3.65 per gallon on the pool section. The regular clorox bleach at the laundry section is more expensive at $3.95 per gallon and it only have 6%.

Thanks Casey, I saw the recent picture you posted with a truckload of bleach on your 1st SLAM in 10 years. Does putting that much bleach makes the pool smells like chlorine or does the smell goes away once the water is balanced?

Thanks Phillbo, So with SWG you only need CYA and let the SWG take care of the chlorine? Do you feel the water to be softer to skin and hair using an SWG?

Ok. I'm about 3 to 4 weeks away from buying an above ground pool. Just, finishing up the area and will need to order road base and compact. I am thinking of having the following. Pool: Coleman 18' x 9' x 48" rectangular pool (3,913 gal at 90% capacity) SWG: Intex Krystal Clear SWG with...

Thanks!
