    Easy set ladder in steel agp

    I noticed in your signature that you use the solar rings. Do you find that they do work well? And do you have to cover the majority of the pool or will only a couple do?

    Thank you for the idea. I do take it down and have placed mulch around it for now. I'm using Hostas (since nothing kills them) and then the old standby (FAKE Flowers) :goodjob:

    To be truthful I have only added about 3/4 bottle of bleach last night and that is all that has been in it since last Sunday. The pool is very clear and I will add stabilizer but is it ok to swim in today before I add the stabilizer? Although still at 68 degrees it may not be an issue:-). I...

    Help with Intex Skimmer

    Honestly I had the same problem. Someone suggested the rock and i couldn't see putting a rock in the pool, so I bought golf club weights which are encased in plastic. I placed them in the skimmer. However, when I was cleaning out the basket I dropped the weights into the pool :-) and it is...

    18x48 Intex Blow-Up Landscaping

    Hello all, I am just wondering if there are any pictures of how to hide the "Big Blue" pool. I obviously don't want to spend a lot of money but would still like the yard to look nice. Do you know what kinds of plants would look/be okay for around the pool. As I am looking around the internet...

    Ok so I am going to be a pain.. I keep looking at this pooldevil and think that it is something that I may want to purchase. Do you know if it will fit the pool right out of the box or are there attachments and stuff that I would need to do? Again thank you for all your help.
