Hey all, I am going to pull the trigger and get a new mesh safety cover for our pool. I am going to send in our old cover (Century brand - not made any more for custom shape) to use as a template so I can use the existing anchors. I have gotten quotes for the brands that offer this service...

Hey All, I am in the market to purchase a new cover. I currently have a mesh safety cover that has straps and bolts that hold it in place. I am not sure who manufactured the cover. It is so old that tag that has the serial number has completely faded although it does have "Century" printed...

Thank you for the reply. I will contact them.

Hi all, I am hoping someone can help out with this one. This cover came with the pool (and house) and is on its last leg. Before I put the cover on the pool last week, I thought I remembered that it was a Loop-Loc. But once I got it out and got it installed, I saw the name "Century" on the...

Thanks! That makes me feel better.

Hi, I have noticed that my sand filter is leaking from under the multiport and under the band where it connects to the tank. It is only leaking on one side. Is there an easy fix for this? It is a not really a leak - more like a slow seep. I haven't noticed any pressure changes. There is...

Thank you all for your advice. I will switch to liquid and stop using the tablets. Hopefully, I will be on my way to a TFP kind of summer.

Hi - This is my second summer in a new house with a pool. Last year, I had no idea what I was doing with the pool - and it showed in the water. Algae, calcium deposits, just about everything bad you could imagine. The old pool was also due for a new plaster job. Luckily, I found this site...
