Jim, bahahaha!! I love your response. Thanks for not making me feel stupid. :P Okay, okay, I get it now. Ordering the sensor right now!! Seriously, thank you. That makes total sense!

This may be a stupid question, and I'm sure you guys will eagerly let me know if so :D. My flow sensor is going bad; the little wire has a short in it and if it gets bumped the least bit, it goes off. So, I am debating replacing the sensor vs jumping it out. I know the risk of causing gases...

They dumped baquagoo in a chlorine pool! Lol Olympic pool now must be drained of green water due to visibility concerns - The Washington Post Olympic pool now must be drained of green water due to visibility concerns - The Washington Post " on Aug. 5, 80 liters of hydrogen peroxide were...

My mom had a 24' AG resin pool installed on 6/27. On 6/30, after filling, I noticed some of the braces were not secure at the bottom, AND at the bottom edge of the wall at one upright, the pool wall looked as if it had slipped out of the track and is bulging slightly. Long story short...

Replaced liner yesterday. This is not my first rodeo, but man it sure feels like it is! I have a pretty significant (about six foot long) wrinkle, I have run it from the center of the pool to the side and all 24' back to the other side. Problem is each time I get about 3/4 across (either...

Psssssssst....you're not checking EVERYTHING every two hours are you? If so, stop! lol Just check your FC until you get it clear so you don't waste your test chemicals. Everything else is going to be inaccurate with high chlorine levels anyway. And remember 12 is your MINIMAL shock level...

A couple things: You REALLY need to read Pool School as suggested above--I learned the hard way, you can't get quick answers and take short cuts or you'll cost yourself more money and headache in the end. CYA, if powdered type, needs to go in a sock and hung in the pool. Mine takes SEVERAL...

Thanks, techguy! I think I've decided to just go with bare walls and duct tape and maybe a patch of the old wall foam over rivets where I patched around return. So no one takes my stupid idea of roofing felt and runs with it...I read just now, somewhere else, that the felt is petroleum based...

Well, Casey, I got lucky. There was still about 3" of water in the pool, so I measured from the top of the water to the bottom of the top rail...in about six places (N,S,E,W, NE, NW..) and guess what?? It was no more than 1/4" in any direction and was exact in most places!! Soooooooooo, I...

In the process of replacing the liner. The walls had a couple rough spots that had to be sanded and repainted. They are not thin, but do have SOME pitting. Last time, we used foam on the walls, but I've found two things: 1. Foam makes the liner more prone to puncture (soft padding) as...

Thanks!! I wasn't sure if it was okay to add pavers under the legs or not. I'd read not to, but think that may have been talking about one that had water in it. I'll give the pavers a go!

This year has started out rough! We drained, cleaned, patched and refilled. Two days later, pool was empty-I suspect someone caught the cove with a toenail while smoothing out wrinkles on refill b/c prior to draining, the pool held water all winter..now it's bone dry). We are replacing the...

Got ya!! Much thanks, Jason!!

Hmmm, so I just called hubby at work to tell him how smart his wife is and he busted my bubble by telling me that the output ratings are VERTICAL, so just adding hose or pipe won't solve the problem. Don't think the neighbors would appreciate my filter being 30' in the air either. So, does...

Last year, our SWG just didn't do the job it had done in the first two years. I thought we were going to have to replace it and just chalked it up to using (abusing) an intex system on a 24' pool. However, I think I just realized the issue, but need advice. I see that the SWG is rated for...
