I'm hoping maybe it is really a non-issue - i.e. a tight cable on a resin pool does not cause any real issues... On my old pool I always used those plastic clips that attach to the cover on the bottom edge of the top rail. Tomorrow I will see if they will work on the new pool rails. The clips...

I need to buy a new cover for my new resin pool also. I thought this style looked like it might be a safe bet for my resin pol with the wider top rails: [attachment=0:2mqp1pbe]skirted-winter-cover.jpg[/attachment:2mqp1pbe] Description: The above-ground skirted winter cover is cut to the exact...

I was really interested in this style cover also after reading about it. What the heck happened to them?! Ever single retailer online shows them either out of stock or no longer available... ??

Why does some algae make pool water turn totally green, even dark, murky green, while in other pools the algae will just grow on the walls and bottom while the pool water stays clear and blue?

Re: clear green water... TEST UPDATE! Looking a lot better this morning! One more application should do it. :-D

Ok, sounds like a plan! And if the water turns a paler shade of green, keep adding sequestrant until it turns blue?

Re: clear green water... TEST UPDATE! OK! Received my TF-100 test kit today and just finished first test. FC 7 CC 0 TC 7 pH 7.2 T/A 50 CH 20 CYA 20 I still have clear green water, and I purchased two quarts of ProTeam Metal Magic. Hopefully it will work better than the Mineral...

Re: Replace AGP top rail with deck board rather than going o We had a small deck built for our pool 6 years ago. We opted to have the edge of the deck sit just above the top 2 rails , so if a child wanted to jump into the pool, it would be a "clean" edge from deck to water. This past weekend we...

Re: clear green water... OK, thanks for the reply! I will be patient for two more days. Funny thing is, for eight years with the old pool I always just "winged it" (never thought to look for a pool forum). Used the test strips and just threw chemicals into the pool. The water was always clear...

Re: clear green water... The water is not sparkly, but I can see the bottom clearly. For eight years I dealt with algae problems every late summer. The algae would always grow on the sides and bottom and the water would remain crystal clear blue until I got into the pool and churned up all of...

Re: clear green water... TEST UPDATE! So we finally got our new (replacement) 24'x52" AG pool up this past Sunday. It took the next few days to fill it using well water. Added hockey puck tabs to a float dispenser, gallon of liquid shock, pool store PH raiser, pump with sand filter has been...

They are! Water level is up to the bottom seam and most of the wrinkles have come out, the stubborn ones I've gone after with a broom with additional success. How long do I need to leave my shop vac running? Should I turn off the hose when the sun goes down and only fill while it is...

one more:

Thanks for the replies! Here are some pics (hopefully they will post correctly) of what I am talking about. I guess the more the vac runs and the more I look at them, it does seem like they will smooth out as the water starts filling up:

24'x52" round AGP, j-hook liner, sandy bottom with liner pad. Last night we finally got the liner installed, though it was cloudy and only in the upper 60's. Today sunny and lower 80's and the liner really softened up. I have the shop vac running and the walls look great, but the floor still...

Oh, I can't wait to see what conundrums I encounter when it comes time for the liner! Thanks for the tip about the shop vac - I am already prepared from all the reading I've been doing on this site. So I am going to recheck for level on all the blocks with a water level, make sure each block is...

Yes, I had to add new blocks because the tops of the old ones were burried below ground level and the new pool only has 16 supports while the old one had 18 (so the blocks didn't line up anyway). Plus the old blocks were not 2" thick and the instructions said to use 2" thick blocks... The...

Well, in that case wouldn't I have to dig deeper under the existing blocks if I added a block on top? I wouldn't want to raise the top of the block higher than it is now - it would no longer be level with the pool area ground surface. Right now the blocks are sitting in the "crater" and level...

I am in the process of installing a new 24'x52" AG round pool with resin supports. It is going in the same location as the old pool (24'x48" round Doughboy). I will be using a liner pad (Liner Shield) and foam cove. We will basically just rake smooth the sand base because there is no reason to...

Thanks! That's all I needed to hear... At least until the next issue come up!

Hi all! Attempting first DIY AG 24'X52" pool install. It is going in the same exact spot as the 24'X48" pool we just tore down. I thought this would make the process easier but I am still having a hard time laying down the bottom tracks and joints. I've already placed the 16 patio blocks at...

I guess I'll go with the Liner Shield - it's thicker than the Gorilla (1/3" compared to 1/8"). I'll look into the solar panel thing, but I'm thinking a solar cover with reel might be cheaper and more effective into late summer...

Here are a few links (just for info purposes) to the Liner Shield brand liner pad. Sounds very similar to the Gorilla brand pad (but less expensive): http://www.poolsupplyworld.com/poolsupp ... LGP24R.htm http://www.pooldeals.com/catalog/Liner- ... 16691.html

I am getting ready to replace the 24' round pool that came with the house we bought in 2002. The pool has to be 20 years old by now and the liner was in bad shape, but we ended up buying a whole new pool (same size but 52" deep instead of 48"). Going to try the DIY route... So I have a few...
