Thanks. I’ll give this a try.

Royal Entrance Drop In Step Tried to upload a pic but couldn’t get it to work. The above Should take you to our steps. The cracks are in the lower two steps directly in the right corner when you’re facing the steps. They are about 2 inches long and not gaping. Appreciate any suggestions.

HI everyone: We have the Royal Entrance Steps for our 18 ft. above ground pool. 10 years old - cracks in the bottom two steps in the corner have developed. Also need a new flange on that side - currently being held by good old duct tape! Considering replacing stairs, but then thought maybe...

I realized when I tried to use the plastic ladder we got that: 1 - I am scared of heights and 2 - those risers are not great for short folks! We moved quickly to The Royal Entrance steps and all is well. Depends on your pool if that type of step would be of more benefit to you - two handles to...

This sounds worth considering, although I don't have a clue about them. How are they hooked up to the pool for example? We are not too mechanically inclined!

Yes SWG was suggested by another (better) pool store manager. Problem is at about $650 to purchase, may not be worth it as we plan to live in this home for maybe another 3-4 years only.

Absolutely! I have a Taylor testing kit and I get my refills from Dave here. :cool: I figured I'd have to get rid of some water and refill. Just wasn't sure how high I should get the chlorine in the meantime. Yes, that dark side almost got me :puker:

So after using BBB for about 5 years and then granular stuff for a few years to avoid all those bleach bottles, we went to the local pool store and got talked into Bacquacil. :pale: Haven't started it yet and became increasingly reluctant to do so after reading more about it on this forum...

Well we ended up needing a new pump - got a Hayward.....must say it is so much quieter than the other ever was....

Hi folks: finally getting warm to get the pool open here in Virginia. Everything ready and bam NO pool motor. After a while thought it might be the electrical receptacle and so unplugged and plugged the motor in another outlet. Great - motor is up and running! BUT it is at least twice as...

Wow, alright Savannah rocked it! Liked her version better than Taylor Swift's. Makes tuning into The Voice even more fun this year! I thought I recognized that name! Good luck!!! :party: :whoot:

Sugarland sent a link to the video on their email list. That's where she found the video. Congrats again! :party:

This is wonderful! My partner came home tonight and said "you have to see this video", I watched the young singer and was thinking she looked and sounded familiar to me. Enter Sugarland, who we like very much...I asked her to look up the name because it looked like the girl from TFP, heard...

yup, loving the skimming here too. It is oddly relaxing and yes, my elbow aches after the last windstorm............wait, is that a little piece of bark over there, just one more skim... ah nice to have the pool back open again!

We really like the Royal Entrance Steps very much. Work well, don't seem to have issues at all, can be heavy to move in and out but can be done easily enough with three people. Welcome to all the Canadians :goodjob: - I am Canadian currently living in Virginia. Was in the Orillia area...
