Hello, I have just recently gone from owning and operating a 10k gallon above ground pool to moving in a home with a 42k gallon in ground pool and spa. This is the first time I have ever had the ability to enjoy a heated pool! I am curious about the optimum temp for a pool that size. I live in...

Thanks everyone. I'm at the hunting and gathering stage trying to get ready for this big job!! Temp pool gets delivered on Monday, got all the hard plumbing parts (I think), and I picked up the pavers today. All that's left is a laser level and a few helpers that will work for beer!! :cheers:

Joining this forum has been both a blessing and a curse because there is some really great information. I continue to read and read and have come to realize I have no other option than to drain my pool and relevel. :rant: California is in the worst drought in over 1200 years that has depleted...

Oh **** now I'm really scared. This was going to be my project today but am now having second thoughts. So am I hearing you say that you cut new return holes for hard plumbing? I also plan to hard plumb. :study: Somebody please tell me should I add an additional return or use the original inlet...

I have the same pool and my skimmer gets delivered today. I'm as nervous as you are. Please give a play by play so I don't mess up! On my way to the hardware store now to get all the materials to hard plumb. The things I get myself into.... Good luck. Post pics for all to see!

Umm yeah, I just didn't want to be the one to say that!! My drunk friends have come to love the bench. I added a second bench this season due to the popularity!

You have inspired me! Because I have to know everything before I can make a decision (type A personality), I have just a couple more questions. May I ask the model # of your skimmer? Did you order an additional gasket so that one can be placed on both sides of liner? Does the skimmer come with...

Switching to a sand filter is really the way to go. I can tell you that I am super anal about dirt in the pool and would drive myself absolutely crazy trying to keep it clean. The other thing that really helped was adding some water clarifier which helps all the tiny particles clump together so...

Oh man, thanks for the heads up guys. I did not even think about the ph increasing. I have to say that it's a pretty powerful stream of water, but what the heck do I know? I'm definitely not an expert on this stuff! Thanks for the warning.

You've been lucky! I'm just doing preventative maintenance to increase the longevity of the liner.

Re: Unlevel Pool Great information. Thank you for sharing. I kind of knew this would turn into a thorn in my side.

This is probably a dumb question, but did you do the install with the pool up? Or is it easier to do on the floor of the garage?

I just bought a little gizmo that claims to help make your pool 1500% more effective at removing debris. It claims that filter time can be cut in half and less chemicals will be needed to maintain pool water. It attaches to the return and rotates in a 360 degree motion forcing water down and to...

I haven't seen much on the topic of sun damage, so hopefully some good ideas or suggestions will come from this. I live in California where the summers are long and HOT. My pool sits in direct sunlight the entire day and therefore takes quite a beating. Back a few years ago when I had the...

Split by moderator from HERE. I'm so glad to have found this thread because now I can ask a few questions about my own unlevel pool! Ok so this is my second year with the Intex Ultra frame. I had multiple Intex Quickset pools in the past. The area in which the pool resides has always had some...
