We live in the country in MN. With the freeze we get here we always put our water level at LEAST 6 inches below the water inlet eye. Last year our deck and pool wall had a slight frost heave, and with the water thaw and refreeze we had we decided this year we are going down 8 inches. The pool...

Do you have a pic? Im in the country and have the same problem often. Dirt, pollen and dust. We put a knee high pantie hose over our simmer basket (like a skimmer sock) to catch some and we vac to waste once a week when it gets bad. When the pump is off after vac its fine, but the find particles...

Wanted to update you guys. The wall pushed out a bunch with the MN thaw. Its very close to the track now. Different companies have looked at it and told me to wait until I need the liner replaced. It won't hurt it at all. Fortunately, and luckily, the kiddos have been full on swimming! Pools...

I grew up with a doughboy and my current pool we installed is NOT a doughboy. Take it from me, MAKE SURE it is a doughboy. Best pools ever. I would NOT trust them if it were me. Do you have another pool store near you?

Not lots of snow or ice at all. We always remove when it snows and the bad thing, we have had a pathetic winter here for snow and awful for cold. In other words, no insulation (snow) for the ground and terrible cold. I just noticed a slight buckle on one side of the pool. I'm thinking that the...

How did you fix this? Please tell me!

We always remove the excess snow and or water, BUT get a LOT of wind here. We did remove the cable to the cover so that it does not add any pressure just in case. I know I have to wait I'm just so worried about it :( praying for good news from anyone. Thank you for your help tho!

Hello, So we live in MN too. This is the third winter with our pool. I am having it curve inward on the bottom of the pool. Wondering if we have a similar problem? What did you ever end up doing last year? Did you get your pool from family leisure, cuz they are telling me the same things?

Two years later I am dealing with a similar issue in MN only much worse,and the wall is off the track completely. How did you end up fixing this?

Hello! So my pool was installed August 2015. It is facing its 3rd MN winter. It has been a very cold year this year with little snow. Snow provides insulation, without it, we are even worse off. Sadly my pool may have been hurt by this. Facts: 30 foot AGP, Resin top rail. I drain my pool 6...

Are you covering your pool at night and when not in use? If find if we cover it we lose less water from evaporation. Of course it will heat it up during the day covering though. Also, more use, more loss is normal.

You have an amazing set up!!!!
