Great to hear! Got any pics?

I've been searching CL for a while with no luck. I would hate to oder new ones and end up with some that are all shaky like the Intex ladder.

Good to hear. After ordering I was thinking I should have gone with the small one. Not really sure if the wide mouth is an advantage or not.

I have this skimmer on order. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002KMIK26/ref ... 25410_item Will it be ok on a 20' Intex, or should I get the standard sized one? Thanks for the help.

I am planning on building a deck soon to access my pool. I have small kids and they tend to spend a lot of time hanging on the ladder. What are some sturdy stairs that are made to screw to a deck? I'd like to spend 200-300. Thanks

How long after adding bleach and acid is it safe to swim? Ok to swim while the CYA is dissolving?

How long does it take for the CYA to lower the PH? Maybe I should just wait a few days before adding muriatic.

So I need to go buy some stabilizer from Wally World and some muratic acid to bring the PH down. Then I need to wait a week for the CYA level to register on my test and in the meantime try and keep the FC level up. Does that sound right?

It the liquid stabilizer faster/easier? Is it safe to assume my CYA is 0 since I have not added anything. I'd like to calculate how much I need.

I just completed the setup of my 20 x 52 Intex. It has been filled since Sunday. I recieved my TF-100 yesterday, but I did not get home until late and have not used it other than PH and chlorine. The chlorine looks to be low around .5-1. The PH is high at 8.2. I have not added anything to my...

Mine came with the 1600 sand filter. Did y'all have that or the cartridge?

Re: Underlay - Extruded Polystyrene - Above Ground Pool - In What foam did you use? Did you use blocks under the legs? I'm thinking dig my blocks in until about 1/2 inch inch above grade then sped thin layer of masonry sand. Then foam and tarp that came with it.

Ended up going with a 20' Intex for now. Thanks for the help guys!

Re: Underlay - Extruded Polystyrene - Above Ground Pool - In I'm basically at the same point. Worked all day today with the sod cutter. Have a guy with a Bobcat scheduled in the morning after seeing how much work leveling this thing will be. I have concrete blocks I planned on digging in and a...

What do you guys think about this? Said he would take 800. We it was resin so I could use saltwater. http://houston.craigslist.org/for/3849584443.html Or should I get this? 22' Intex http://mobile.walmart.com/m/phoenix;jse ... ISSIONTIME
