My solution was to fill a 5 gallon bucket with concrete. I let it cure for a few days and replaced the lid. placed it in the same location above that had filled PVC pipes. I have the same ladder as above. An advantage is that as the chlorine eats away at the bucket after about 2 years, I can...

Still have it! Interested?

Gaberino, sounds like fun! My thoughts for what it's worth! SWG only makes chlorine when it is running. Running a 1 hp all day will affect your energy bill!! That's also why I don't have an inline chlorinator. I don't wish to run my 1.5 HP pump so it would be effective. Hopefully your...

Sorry, I kinda replied to the wrong post.. But I would agree the sun is brutal on the softest part of your pool. Just my 2 cents.. I own a Intex pool and in the middle of the third season our liner turned brittle. Along with poor chemistry and the sun it was toast in my opinion. Some...
