I'm a Tervis fan also, and if they ever crack or break you can send them back for new ones. They also used to be made in the USA, but I'm not sure of that now.

Thank you both very much, I saved the link and I will stock up tomorrow.

They do make life easier. I have a question for the test kit experts please. I still have my kit from last year a TF-100, I really didn't use up all of anything except the CYA test which I don't have any left at all. Do I need to buy a new test kit every year? Can I order extra of the CYA...

Looks like a great pool for water volleyball.

Please tell me where you found the ArmorKote cover for that price? I googled because I need to buy a winter cover and the one I found was much higher. I thought it was just the size but I believe we are looking at the same size. I think I want a solid cover the mesh just sounds like it would...

We have/had a 50" Samsung Plasma we bought 2 years ago, it just died, the repair shop wanted $749.00 to fix it. We now have a LG 50" with an extended warranty. I had to pay them $40.00 to tell me what was wrong and dispose of it. I thought I did a lot of research before buying the first...

Our weather has been very warm lately, so after the pool got comfortable we put away the solar cover, now the weather is going to be in the mid 80's and 60's at night. So do you think I need to drag it back out? Will it cool down that much? I hate a cold pool I'm an 84 to 90 type swimmer. I...

Thank you both for the helpful hints, I did stuff a shamwow in it the next time I opened it. I will try putting my little helper to work, don't know why I didn't think of that. Thanks again

I have the same set up and understand what dman is saying to do if you need to service the filter, but any advice about cleaning out the basket on the pump? I got soaked on a cold day trying to do it the first time, lost the Oring and thought I was going to lose all my water, while my...

I am pretty new to this pool stuff but it looks like what I have. I hope I am allowed to post a link. I did not buy it from them I was just googling trying to find out what came with my package. I am only going by looks. http://www.familyleisure.com/Pool-Suppl ... er-Systems

I tried to disolve it in a bucket and put in the skimmer, when it didn't disolve good I put it in a sock. I don't believe I put in enough. Since it is something I can't take out without draining I was very leary of adding too much. It took so long to fill I can't imagine having to drain it...

Thank you all for your help we are now up and running course now the rain is filling it a little too much. I have been putting in bleach and testing with my new test kit, I feel like a mad scientist. My husband laughs as I read the directions and test, my CYA is still very low but I just put...

Thanks again I am off to pour & stir. I sure hope they get the filter fixed soon my blow up pool turned green with so much rain last year, which is how I found this site. I am new to the BBB method but this site sure helped with the green last year, my family thought I was nuts pouring &...

Thank you both for your help, however now I have a new issue. Advice please..... My filter came shipped without the O ring, so as I get it full enough to turn on it is leaking everwhere. I called the pool installer and he came out and discovered the problem, he called the pool store and they...

Thank you for this site I have learned a lot but I have a few questions now that it's time to do it. We just installed a 24' round pool with a sand filter, it's filling now. I plan to do the BBB method and got most of my supplies, test kit is ordered. I am confused on the CYA I ask for a...
