    Featured Best Places to Buy Liquid Chlorine - Reboot!!

    I have not seen liquid pool chlorine at Costco. They do carry Clorox laundry bleach but I think it has additives and not high concentration.

    should I change from using pool hoses to pool piping

    24' above ground pool took a real beating this winter, repairable?

    The pic with the item circled shows the bolt heads from the inside of the pool. They were covered with duct tape. It's held up very well over the years.

    We had a rusted wall at the skimmer and return openings. Cut out the rusted section, bolted a stainless steel panel to that section of the pool, cut out openings for the skimmer and return outlet and then made sure we covered the bolts with duct tape before installing a new liner and reattaching...

    Grackles - Problem birds

    The "dead" birds are working well for us. We just have to make sure we move them to a new location every day or two. We have 4 of them to place strategically. They sit out 24/7 and are now looking like they are decomposing. :LOL:

    first time pool owner need help

    We are DIYers, did it ourselves and it took us 8 months. Long story about why this happened but that's for another thread. We started in late July, continued through Oct.

    first time pool owner need help

    Welcome to the forum and AGP ownership. There are a few of us here. ;) Will you be installing the pool or paying an installation company? My 2 cents (coming out of a firehose): 1) We have a similar ladder and like it a lot. Our issue is having to move it to vacuum when debris gets behind it...
