Been putting some though into either painting or a wrapping some of the south facing panels on our above ground to boost the heat. Besides the cosmetics, any reason this can't be done? Only logical thing I can come up with is may get to hot for the liner? Has it been tried?

We ended up installing our own liner due to lack of available help. Many hours of you tube and talking to others that have tackled this on their own. Super pleased with the results, no wrinkles! Now I'm in the middle of refilling andd wondering where to start with "new" water. So far I added 2...

Anyone replaced your own liner? Local company wants $1500 just for the install, no liner. Late June at the earliest...Look's easy enough, just wondering what others have done themselves. You tube is full of great ideas, just not sure how many of these are legit.

I'm considering a skimmer block off for winterizing. I'm hoping this will allow to keep the water level just below the top edge.(just like it is now) so my winter cover won't allow as much water/snow to pile up on top of the frozen pool. Also not having to add water in the spring. Anyone have...

Shopping for a new solar blanket for 30' round ABG. Any site sponsor I should be working with? Getting ready to open up and looks the the mice snacked on my old cover all winter long. Hope it was tasty cause it's the last thing they will get out of me! My mistake putting the cover in the garden...

Our pool is about to turn 11 years old as far as I can tell. This year I can feel a small depression developing that follows along the inside of the wall. I'm worried that a small critter like a mouse mole etc..has found it's way under the pool and is burrowing along the wall...maybe. . It's...

Like some others on this site, we bought a home with a pool as total newbies to pool care. We are on our second season and have learned some lessons the hard way, or should I say, we learned to stay away from retail pool stores! Nice helpful people , as in help me spend $$ on useless products...

I want to convert all my plumbing to PVC but need the size of the slip on unions for the multi port. Anyone know the size of these or what to look for ? TIA!!!!

Thinking of adding (1 already in) another eyeball just to increase the flow. Any reason I should not do this? Thinking it would help increase the whirl pool effect making cleaning a bit easier and mostly..we like the lazy river, floating in circles on the pool floats! Ideas??

Pump is D.O.A as of this AM. Lived a long and productive life but dead now. I'm up the creek. How long do I have before problems begin? Do I buy online and wait for 2-4 day's or pay the local pool store $100 more just for time sake? Our temps are only mid 70's for the next few days and I'm...

I'm sure there will be differing opinions on this so heres the question. Our pool has a 350000 BTU propane heater. It will bring the temp up about 2-3 degrees per hour when fired up. I'm racking my brain over should I set and hold the temps at my desired temps (mid 80's) or turn the temp down...

We need to install a heater for a 30' AG and could use some input as to how many BTU's will we need or what you consider normal for a pool this size. Would also like to hear any yea's and nea's on particular brands. Fairly hefty investment so we hope to do it right the first time. We have...

New owner, first pool. I looked for any obvious answer on this site and still have a few lingering questions. We live where the pool will likely freeze solid as do the small ponds and shallow lakes (45th * north). We have skimmed out all debris and leaves and the water is clear. Previous owner...
