Been trying to help my sister with her 16000 gallon fiberglass pool built in the 80s, she allowed it to get real bad full of leaves and basically a dark brown soup. So once I did the clean up, removing two years of leaves,with the water still dark brown I brought it to shock level for several...

Ok, thought I had figured it out now here comes another situation. Thought I would be saving some money by using the brand new Sand filter I bought for my current intex pool on the new Sharkline Venture I will be buying now I read that the sand filter does not have standard connections to attach...

I have been debating back and forth as to go with sand as the base or crushed fine limestone on top of the dirt. I plan on using a 1/2 foam pad with foam coves but just wondered how many people used the limestone then just a pad if it provided enough comfort. I read somewhere that if u use the...
