    I built a poolside table/bar for the above ground pool

    INSPIRED! I have been living with no place to put my drinks for 5 years now. I keep looking around for something easy to build but there wasn't a whole lot of idea that weren't super involved that would fit in my space. I would love to build a deck big enough for a few chairs and a table on...

    Pool Supports sank on one side - Clean fill question

The weight of the pool and water will compress it making all of your work for nothing. I am aware that settling will happen. The plan was to take the liner out, and put possibly...

    So I was able to shimmy it on the skimmer drain pipe...would it be ok to put a hose clamp on it and have intake smaller than the hose right there?

I have everything installed - New output to pool, filter tank, filter glass, pump, and pre-filter...but when I went to connect the pre-filter to the old skimmer down drain, the hose...

    Filter replacement

    Thanks for the responses! If anyone else ever has this question ...I contacted Inyo and they suggested they Hayward FC 1287 but the q.a section someone asked about my exact filter and they were pointed to the C-1750/PA175/PL0147. I am going to measure to double check but I think this part will...
