Those lights look great Steve! So good in fact I bought a pack of 2 online for pick up at the only Wal Mart close to me that has them in stock. Will get them this evening. For $9.99 I figure they are worth a shot!

You have a through the wall skimmer with your pump or the round inlet/outlet s? Also, are you using a salt system along with the stock pump? Glad to hear someone is using a stock pump without an issue. I was also thinking the same about the solar blanket helping to keep some debris/bugs out...

Just put up a Coleman 16' x 48" power steel frame pool. Set up was pretty easy after reading a lot on here. The ground work to level my hilly yard was a little bit of a job. My questions.... It came with the 1500 gph pump. I read a lot of negative posts about the supplied pumps for most all of...
