X5 on the magic eraser. They are great for cleaning the steps and along the water line. Spend the extra money on the "Extra Power" ones, I went through 3 boxes of the regular ones and seen the "Extra Power" ones at Home Depot and they do last 2 to 3 times longer and work like a charm. Hope...

Second on Spadepot. I used them for mine back in November, $350 shipped. emailed and called me with questions because my spa is not in their database. Very courteous and professional. Highly recommend them. Johnny

I am in Powder Springs, just northwest of Atlanta and kept mine open all winter too, can't say enough about the skimmer socks. We bought our house in April last year and went through pollen season then with our pool. Had pressure on the filter spike once on me, then read about the skimmer sock...

Update on my the replacement of my laterals, decided to go with all sand. I got started this morning using my shop vac to remove the sand. Removed it all and start taking laterals out. First 2, they unscrew real easy and I am thinking cool be done by lunch time and get to take wife out to lunch...

Dave thanks for the information, I am sorry for the double post I noticed the other thread right after I posted my question last night. Zea no I have replaced my laterals yet, I will be doing that this Friday. Will let you know how it goes. Johnny

Getting ready to replace the sand in our filter,not sure of the age of it as we bought the house last spring and was a foreclosure. Talked with several neighbors and none of them had any indications of how old it might be. The manufacture date on the filter is Jan of 2001. It did a good job...

Tom, I am out in West Cobb and like you bought a foreclosure in the spring and had to a liner put in, luckily the rest of the equipment (filter, pump etc) was in great shape. I didn't winterize mine, run the pump a couple of hours a day, unless it gets below freezing, I added a "freeze switch"...

Kevin, yes they did. Plus they treated the cover at the factory for me also. Johnny

Update on my cover, I went with www.spadepot.com , they were the only company online that I found that offered the 303 Spray treatment. I went with their "premium" model and the total price was $357. Free shipping was included and it was a total of 9 days from order placed to receiving it. They...

Bubbles, thanks for the tips, I might check with the company that replaced the liner for us, after finding this forum and what I have learned. They are not very high on my choices but they originally built the pool and serviced it over the years. There are several around the area that I will...

Thanks, I looked at them last night, yes they are way overkill for my needs. Thanks for the recommendation on the spray treatment. Found one online company that offers that. Don't have my notes in front of me to see who it was but they were one of the most reasonable. Johnny

Bought our house in April and enjoyed the pool all summer :) The pool and spa are separate, the spa is a Sunvalley/Dynasty "Teton" cleaned and used the spa a few times right after we moved in but as the weather warmed up we really didn't use it any over the summer. I keep it in a sleep mode all...

Thanks Tom, that is what I am leaning towards right now, should have worded my question a little clearer. I was hoping to get some opinions on that style of covers. I know it will only be for one winter, but don't want to uncover it in the spring and have a swamp to contend with :) Have been...

Hello, I am just trying to plan ahead for this coming fall & winter. Bought our house in April of this year and new liner was installed then and have loved every minute of having a pool. Anyway, I started thinking yesterday that we have about 6 weeks of swimming left here in Georgia and my...
