I am no expert but we had one on ours when we first bought our house 11 yrs ago. If a house comes with one read the fine print. I could not use ours the first 30 days even though we needed it because the AC went out. I also could not use it on a busted sewer pipe because the break was 2 inches...

My guess is it is one of the underground ones has a slight crack. Not big enough to leave any wet marks but just enough to lose prime. Had the same thing happen to me with a well pump. I was fine as long as there was a draw on the pump, as soon as the pump shut off the prime went away. Turned...

What I am doing is I have emptied and dried the pool, rolled up pretty tight and am placing everything in a tote. The last part is the only thing I have not done. I need to empty the tote I plan to use but it is at a friends house who should be coming home in a few weeks. I will then store the...

It was in the evening and has been cloudy/rainy the past few days/weeks. There are a lot of springs around here that stay around that temp so you get used to it. I am sure that this weekend during the day it will be around 78 or so.

I still have at least 3 weeks of swim time left. LOL. Actually went out tonight and with the wind it was a little chilly. Pool temp said 74. So it might be coming down sooner than I want.

Will not do this. I do not want another mess like I had when I had a over flow during the 11 inches of rain we had. Not too mention my son was hanging on the side once and it did similar and washed away a lot of my rubber mulch.

Thanks everyone. And I was hoping someone would get winter is coming. I had just seen a commercial for Game of Thrones. I was told that I might be able to rent a pump from Lowe's/Home Depot so I might do that. I really do not want to wait 2 days with all the leaves and pine straw that would fall...

OK Dumb questions because I am tired and would like some clarification. 1. Since I am about to drain and put pool away in a few weeks I would like a faster way than the drain plug. This took close to 48 hrs all together last time I did this. I want something faster. Do most of you use a sump...

I put a tarp under mine this year. When I took it down to level again after a wash out from a tropical storm the bottom was a lot cleaner than last year. I have not taken mine down yet for the year but will probably in 2 weeks or so, I am pretty sure it will be almost as clean as it was when I...

Something I have seen that I thought was nice was they dug a separate hole for the pump/filter that was just below water line and big enough to step into and do any maintenance. They also covered it with a door like thing like you see in cellars. I wished I would have taken pictures, but it was...

First off that was way unlevel. I thought mine was bad after the wash out from TS Debbie but this one wow. Secondly why did he not just contact me. I would have gladly taken it off his hands. Some people just have too much money.

Re: How do you keep the cover on & run pump on AG Intex 10'x I did just that. I bought a float called the island from walmart. I believe it is 8 ft across. It gives me enough room to have pretty good water flow around the float. It has also made putting the cover on and off a little easier.

From What I have seen it does go in the basket and you place a rock a little bigger than your inlet so it does not get sucked down by accident. If I am wrong someone will come by shortly to correct me.

Are they listed in my computer?

I want more info on the towel rack. Nice job. That is kind of what I am looking at doing.
