In the future when your liner needs replacing know that you can install a 27' standard overlap liner in your 26' pool. There will be a few wrinkles on the side walls. But its the best option I found next to replacing the whole $1600 pool. It hopefully will extend the life of my pool 5 or six...

Thanks for your reply. I respect your input and experience. Just discussing this further, My hot tub would be above the pool. I would propose to use the pool pump to divert water to fill the hot tub and gravity or the hot tub pump to dump the water back into the pool. It would be a manual...

I'm putting in a new 27' liner in my 26' index pool. It seems to be working well with only a few wrinkles along the wall. I'm good with that in that it will save me $1400. $250 on the new liner and clips subtracted from the new cost of index 26' pool. I'm also strongly considering purchasing...

Do I treat my hot tub like a pool. Is there a hot tub chemical calculator? How do I start?

I would go to pool store once or twice a week to get the weekly bags of shock and the pucks to float, they would test the water and then the computer print out would recommend pool products. Then they would ask me how the water looks, if I said cloudy they would add another product to the...

I just have to say thank you. I've had intex pools for years and have always struggled to maintain them. It seemed like every two weeks I'd have another algae flair up and each week I went to the pool store and they would sell me something new to chase my own proverbial chemical "tail". It was...

Just picked up 7, 128oz., 12.5% liquid chlorine from Menards! $1.98 each! How long does chlorine keep. Should I buy more?!

Be extremely careful with liquid muriatic acid. I was shocked at how dangerous that stuff seems. I had no idea something you poured into a pool could be that potent. I got a slight sniff while adding to my pool and it's something I hope to never repeat. I'm definitely buying dry muriatic...

I have it connected to the small intex sand filter canister model sf15110 The canister originally came with sand canister and matching pump from walmart, but the 633T is running circles around the pump it came with. And is so much quieter. If I had known this I'd have done it months ago...

My first post! I had a walmart intex sand filter and pump (bought from Walmart) for my previous 18' round intex pool. When that pool liner wore out I tried in vain to patch it. It came to the point where patching was a full time job and the pool still leaked. I gave up and bought the intex...
