Just installed my return and had a small leak after using the oateys. Cleaned and replaced with silicone and its holding great.

Thanks for the help. Just got it ordered in time for overnight delivery.

Hi all, I just cracked my return jet fitting and need some advice. The return jet (waterway that came with skimmer kit) started leaking when I first turned on the pump, so I decided to tighten it slightly with a wrench. The threads between the return and the threaded PVC appeared to match...

Thank you very much for the quick responses! Will update with new numbers when available.

Hi, Just starting to test my newly filled pool (city water) with the walmart 6 test kit and found the following: FC: 0 Cya: 0 Ph:7.6 Also, the cya test took half the bottle of test chemical as part of the test. At this rate, I'll go broke Performing cya tests. :( Would you recommend that i...

Hi, I've finally ordered a pool (Sharkline Reprieve 15x30) and am now prepping the ground for install. After using a sod cutter to remove grass, I've found the soil underneath is really sandy, almost like being at the beach. :( What I'm wondering is if I need a base material (like crushed...

Hi, I'm trying to find a quality 27' or 30' AGP thats shallow (48" or less), but could only find the Sharkline Reprieve. I like the higher end AGPs, but they are all 52"+ depth. My kids are just too short for the deeper pools. Can I just fill the pool with less water? Not sure if the skimmer...
