Thanks for the feedback. We have expected lows of 26/21/27 the middle of this week so I’ve decided to just wait until that’s passed. Hopefully by next weekend for me. Looks like (fingers crossed) things should be warming up then!
Thanks for the heads up. The temps aren't a problem, so long as I make sure the pump is running all through the freezing temps, and there's a decent chance without your message I may not have realized that until the first night below freezing, and I currently am running my pump only 4 hours a day.
It wouldn't be the first time a husband stretched the truth a bit to get extra stuff. You know..... because code says you have to upgrade all of it. And add salt.I don't think my wife knows how expensive adding a "heater" is.
@Newdude it was you, right? Who told the story of how a $10,00 above ground pool became a $70,000 in ground pool?Oh, this could be fun!
If you’re adding bonding, an upgraded pump, a heater, and a SWCG ... why not upgrade to a hard-sided pool as well?
Oh, and then a deck.
Or... maybe just go all out and do a nice in-ground with a concrete deck.
Yup. A $6k above ground oval plus fence and wrap around deck was smack into IG territory. And $60k later I won the battle and lost the war by a MILE.
10 is not 'several'
If Google is to believed, your coldest month is January and average high/low temps are 71° / 53°. That makes it a 12-month swimming season at my tolerance
We do actually get some really cold temps, they just don’t last very long. The water gets colder and doesn’t have a chance to warm up much before the next front hits. Of course, some of y’all are crazy enough to get in anyway... not me!If Google is to believed, your coldest month is January and average high/low temps are 71° / 53°.

That’s like our average Memorial Day weather — when most people consider Summer “started” around here!
Yeah. We all go there to swim in February. Lol. But having adapted to it, they think its cold.
Depends on how many times you refilled that red Solo cup. Hold my beer.
They work well and you don’t need to expose the whole thing, just maybe 1 inch so there is enough direct contact to accommodate the curvature and missing coating. Any given point isn’t touching but a hair over from it is if you’re ‘clamped down’ enough. Keep the clamp part away from the exposed part because the tightening mechanism usually has some sort of flatness to it as opposed to bending with the pipe. Coating/painting it after will surely help delay the weathering
It will be NICE for sure.
And you won’t have to spend nearly as much buying the pool only when the time comes. Who knows? With extra funds at the time they might go towards a resin pool and it will REALLY then be a permanent pool.
