Please tell me there is a better way. ?I'm about to lose my mind with this pool, lol.

Can someone tell me if this was done correctly? We have had problems with this for years and once again has a huge leak because I bumped it lightly and the drip went to a constant running of water. It's about impossible to get it not to drip. Also the wire inside the hole is coiled which causes...

Well it did, until I read the comments under the part 2 video, lol. Now I'm not so sure again. This is probably going to be something where everyone has their own opinion.

I think we need to get a new filter this year. We have the original one in there that was a Unicel. I was looking at them online and it looks like there are replacements for the Unicel and are cheaper than I can buy the original at lighthouse. Are all filters going to be the same and do the same...

It says to use one heaping scoop, so I use the little blue scoop and I don't fill it even I make it round off a bit but not to much. I couldn't remember if I had the problem of it turning pink right away with high chlorine levels before or if that meant it was going bad. It still did it with my...

I opened pool and started to shock it. I have an above ground vinyl pool. I have been keeping the shock level at 14 for a few days now. I did an overnight test and last night I was at FC 14 and this morning it was at 12.5 or 13. I did take it at 7:00am so the sun was up for a bit, but I don't...

Ok will do. The kids have just been begging me to get in the pool, lol. I'm so bummed it got bad. When we opened it, it was good. Tried ordering water to fill so we cound run the pump, but they weren't delievering to pool customers, only to cisterin customers until we got some rain. Darn those...

I did an OCLT last night. I tested at 12:30am, and had FC at 18.5. I tested this morning at 6:00am and got a reading of 19. But I tested for CC and got CC at 1. Is it possible to pass the overnight test, but still have CC, or did I do something wrong? The water has looked clear for 2 days now...

Great!!! Hopefully we won't need to though. I went to walmart to get my bleach and Conditioner, came home and my husband said it rained while I was gone and the pool went up 1 1/2 inches. Then got another storm that went through and gained another 3 inches. More rain is expected the next couple...

I saw that some have done this, but I wanted some wise words on whether or not we should. We were thinking of filling our pool the rest of the way with water from our pond. We have an above ground pool that is 30 feet across. We need about 12 inches of water. If I figured right that should be...

Ok, I'm trying to figure out how to do all this. This was supposed to be my husbands job :? We have a new pool. About 2 weeks old. I'm going to try the BBB method. I got my test kit. I added some CYA in a stocking in the skimmer box yesterday. It was all gone today. Do I have to wait 5 days to...

The convience outlet has to be 10 to 20 from the pool , not the pump right? Right now he has it located by the pump. Is there a better place for it. I'm not sure how it will ever be used, so I'm not sure on the best location for it. I just don't want to do the...... Oh man I wish that plug was...

Hi everyone.... I'm new here. We just had a AGP put in. Let me start off by saying that I don't know too much about electric. My husbands knows more, but we are having an electrician do the electrical for us. But I wanted to make sure that the wire size he is using is correct. I used a measuring...
