It's 1.25 in. black iron, I believe that would be the inside diameter of the pipe. I have a piece of 1/2 in. rebar (10 ft long) inside of it right now just because we already had it, but it's obviously not helping at all. Probably need at least a 1 in. pipe of some sort. What would be some...

Do you mean that the PVC would go on the inside of the two pipes where the coupling joins them together? BTW...thanks for the advice!

I just made a reel with black pipe-2/10' pipe with 1 coupling. It has a slight sag to it which causes it to be difficult pulling it back onto my pool. Do you have any suggestions as to how to make the pipe more rigid, where the coupling connects the 2 pipes? It like rolling an egg!!! Thanks!

I think the rubber will last much longer, foam (like pool noodles) will fall apart. I cut them in half to make them go farther and so they would fit under the edge of the pool better. The river rock I purchased does have some rock in it that aren't perfectly round, but as I shoveled the rock...

I recently purchased 2 ton of river rock from a local stone supplier at $22/ton. But I was concerned about the Intex liner, since not all the rocks are perfectly round. I found some rubber pvc pipe insulation at Lowe's for $6.68 and my 24' pool took about 7 of them, which I cut in half. The rock...

Thanks guys!! I knew I could count on you :-D

I thought that maybe my FC would deteriorate the cover, I'm so glad I don't have to wait for Chlorine to drop back to normal!. I usually don't wait this late to close my pool. So in the morning I'll cover it. I was wondering, should I leave my pump connected for a while with the cover on so I...

I'm closing my AG pool for winter, have vacuumed and shocked with 78% cal-hypo (2 bags- I know I used too much since my CC was .5 or less) and then vacuumed again. My levels were as follows before adding the Cal-hypo...

Should I try some clarifier like Pool First Aid? I've been told it's a good product. I've read some posts on TFP and most of the advice for cloudy water is to first check CC level and filtration. If what I have is pollen, should I first try a Unicel filter or first try some floc and see if the...

Still haven't heard any feedback from you guys!!!! Help!!!!!!!
