Extremely helpful, thank you!

Glad I wasn't drinking milk when I read that. Since I'm nowhere near as funny as you guys, I'll just tell you what I would have tried... 1. Stick half the tape's length around the bottom of the pole, leave the other half like a hanging flap (If the tape was 3", then 1.5" on the end of the...

Thanks, Henry... I looked up the Rustoleum product you mentioned... it looks like it's only available in the UK. I also found a Zinsser product called "Bondex" - a "polymerized cement based product" - but so far no in-depth reviews on it. I've got some time before I need to make my final...

Now that's funny right there, I don't care who ya are. :-D

Have an older Tagelus TA-60, installed about 15 years ago. It's been sitting up, and MAY need to be replaced - but first, I wanted to attempt to clean it, give it a little TLC, replace the sand/sight glass/pressure gauge/O-ring, check the laterals, etc. In order to test it out, though, I need...

Um...no. I could show you some fancy physics to tell you why this would not work, but it's easily testable by anyone. Get in the shallow end of your pool, say four feet, with a garden hose, lay on the bottom (use a weight if you have to) and try to breathe. You will find it to be impossible...

By the way... JasonLion, thanks for the input on plaster. Nice to know that a replastering will probably be fine if I went that way. I probably won't, from a sheer cost perspective, but I hope I'm not shooting myself in the foot down the line... having to resurface in a few years if Ultraguard...

I actually ordered the DIY DVD... really, it's more marketing than anything, but you get a couple of sample "pucks" of the product with it too. When you order the product, it apparently comes with a full instruction manual and I think another "installation" type DVD... that's really more what I...

Hi - new to the forum, and after reading a lot of good info here, I've decided to test the waters with a question I still can't answer to my satisfaction... hopefully someone can help. I have a 35 year old concrete/plaster IG pool, 18x36x8.5. I've spent a couple of months looking at my options...
