I got a SWG the second year our pool was up and I don't know why EVERYONE wouldn't use this method. I open the pool each spring (I live in Ohio and don't take the pool down each year, just drain it half way and put a winter cover on it) and once I fill the pool, I run the filter for a day or so...

I have had a 16' round Pro Series Metal Framed pool for 4 years now. Within the first month the teeny tiny pump that is attached to the skimmer went kaput. So I went and bought a free standing pump and filter. I went to my local pool shop and asked how I could connect the hose to the bottom of...

I am online looking for one as we speak :-)

I cannot tell you how happy I am that I found this thread. :P I thought I was the only goof ball that this happened to...not once but TWICE! We had originally emptied the pool and tried to level it but with rain we were back to square one. So I googled and found this thread and after...

Re: 16x48 intex ultra frame........I think we are starting o Here is the post that I found here originally that gave me the idea. successfully-jacked-up-an-intex-summer-escapes-pool-t45938.html I didn't use full size pavers. We have a ridiculous amount of them stacked behind the garage so I...

Re: 16x48 intex ultra frame........I think we are starting o I went through the same thing. We filled it, and it wasn't level. So we drained it (we have a 16X48 and it took 2 days to drain) and left it in tact, with a group of people moved it over to the driveway. I spent an entire Sunday...
