    Caribbean colored pool liner?

    I haven't posted on here in quite awhile but newly retired & have more time on my hands! We have a 27 ft round aboveground which we've had for about 13 yrs & have replaced the liner once but I really want something not so "blue"(have had the blue swirl) & have been looking for something more of...

    What particle size sand for filter?

    It's been quite a few years since we've replaced the sand in our filter & last year the water seemed not as clear so think it's about time to replace it but can't remember what type of sand we used. Is Zeobrite any good?

    Where to shop for a non average new liner?

    Out of the ordinary ABG pool liners available?

    Don't know where else to post this so will start here. I'm looking for a more customized abg liner for a 27 ft.x52 in round pool..one sees so many of the same kind of boring liners everywhere, seems like someone could make some $$ by introducing a new line of more attractive liners for larger...

    Winter mesh cover other than black?

    Our winter leaf/mesh cover (which serves us well here in the PNW where the winters aren't too harsh) has bit the dust after 4 years & I really hate looking out into the yard (we have about 4 acres of open land, partially landscaped) & seeing that ugly black cover for more months of the year than...

    Help! We need light working before the 4th!

    Opened up the pool this season & found the aqua luminator light not working so ordered a replacement bulb which we put in today which also doesn't work. We've had the light for 7 or 8 yrs & have been happy with it & this is only the 2nd time we've had to replace the bulb. Does anyone know how to...

    deleting a post

    I want to delete a post that came out reading in a negative way which I didn't intend, where is the edit button, under faq's it says we should be able to delete our own posts if no one has replied, but I can't find anything anywhere about an edit button. Thanks for any help!

    my AG pool on a sunny day finally

    Here is a pic taken today of our 27 ft AG round pool, concrete on the side that is flush with the patio, & wooden decking on the rest over sloping property. We put a 3 ft "crawlspace" with wooden decking all the way around for access if we needed it. The sun is on it from sunrise til sunset so...

    attitude: ag vs ig

    have to say this is one of the politest forums i've come across..we live in the pacific nw where the pool season is 3-4 months of the year at best, so it honestly makes sense to go with an aboveground pricewise, we plan to do lots of landscaping to cover the sides of the deck built around the...

    wedding cake steps out for winter?

    I've heard everyone recommend taking these step units out for the winter season..I just wanna know why..will they crack if the top layer of water freezes or what..our winters are usually kinda mild..maybe a week of snow & temps in the 25-35 range, usually more rain than anything. we just put the...

    BBB forum

    Myself included, bet alot of people would like more practical info on this method of pool maintenance without wading thru all the regular chemical stuff!! I do enjoy this whole site in general though & the way its broken down into easy to find groups.

    looking for a great not good deck coating/sealer

    need the best product in a moderate price range to use for putting on raw wood that's going to get lots of water exposure from the pool plus our pacific nw rainy spells..i used olympic stain with our 1st pool & that didn't hold up well at all. i've seen a few people mentions cabot's, anyone had...

    how are the floating pool lights?

    Do any of them actually light up a significant water area or do they just look pretty floating on top?

    do floating pool lights work?

    I'm afraid my one aqua luminator isn't gonna quite light up my 27 ft AG like it did my 15 footer..don't wanna empty water at this point to install another one as i do have an extra return. Anyone have any thoughts about the globuoys i think they're called.. do they only light a small area...

    Pacific NW sunlover here

    I've been reading this group for a few days & I love the diversity of the forums & posts! We have recently installed a 27 ft. partially sunk AG, I would love an inground but it wouldn't make alot of sense to spend all the $$ when we have such a short season, 3 months at most. Used to have a 15...
