Hi all, this summer was going too smoothly I guess something had to go wrong. got home from the store today and saw the pool wasn’t running. Checked it and electrical was fine but no sound. Pump basket was full of Crud from rain last night and it was very hot. So I’m assuming it...

I’m not sure if this is a rant or not but just some marketing thought. It’s not until I came to this site that I learned that “salt water pools” are just pools that use generators to convert salt to chlorine. I even know people who own salt pools and think that their pool is salt water like a...

Hi all, I need to replenish some of my reagents as they expire this summer. I’m trying to it cost effectively. I’m using the Taylor 2006-c only 870, 871, and 004 have ‘23 exp dates the rest expire next spring. On tf test kits those 3 cost about 30 bucks but if I do The whole refill kit...

Hey Pool people! I see lots of action on the board with the springtime coming way early this year. Some of you know last year we installed a 21’ round pool and it was quite the journey. The good news is we got our certificate and all is well with the town! in Nj we had a couple of 80 degree...

This am I went out early to empty the skimmer as usual. I noticed the pump basket had a lot more tree debris than usual and I know I needed to empty it. But figured I would do it later after work. I had a bunch of meetings today and when I got out of them at 2:30 I noticed the pump wasn’t...

Saw this on YouTube and thought I’d share. I like the idea of a non pump siphon that stops at the right water level. I also saw on here someone make one for an in ground pool with two hose adaptors, one to attach to the hose bib and one that goes to where you are draining. That way you...

Been pretty consistent with my results lately. My numbers everyday this past week have been as follows: FC 4.5-5 CC 0 PH 7.5 TA 70 CH 60 CYA 40 I have been adding approximately 33oz of LC each day per pool math to get the FC up to around 7 either around 1ish or 7pm. Today tested at 7pm and...

Hi all! Today is the day! We got the pool installed! I’ll post all the details soon with my 2022 pool saga but first have a question! The water is now filling (from local tap) is it cool if I put the chlorine floater with a few pucks in there while it fills? I don’t want any critters or...

I moved into our house last year. It has a big yard and had many trees and shrubs. There are a few shrub stumps and 2 or three tree stumps in the backyard. I think the closest one is about 20 ft from the foundation. I checked the two of them by the pool area which is far from the...

Got it for 100 bucks shipped from Doheney’s. Now I just need my pool installed :LOL::ROFLMAO:. Gonna be a long month!

Hi All! I joined this place at the beginning of this year like so many looking for help and advice. I just changed my UN from jcosenza to Decoy205 which I usually use for online communities. I mostly frequent guitar related sites but I also love BBQ and see there is a place for that here as...

We had crazy storms and wind here last two days. We woke up today to find one of our trees fallen. It took out part of the pool fence but not sure of the damage to the deck or the actual old pool. Thankfully this happened now and not after the new pool is going in next month. Now I’m just...

Hi All, I’m still very green to pool ownership so I’m second guessing everything right now. We bought the house last summer, it had a 21’ x 48” round AGP. We used it a few times. I closed it in October. In December I realized it was leaking as the water level dropped to 1’. I was able to...

Hey folks, So this winter my 2 season old liner decided to leak and I’m going to replace it. What was installed was a swimline 21x 48/52 20 mil overlap liner. I’ve been told to go at least 25 mil but I’m seeing a 30 mil for sale too. Another question is should I stick with overlap or if...

Hi all, Nice to meet everyone. I'm new to pool ownership. We bought a house in July that had a 20' foot above ground pool and we live in central Jersey. Its an older frame but the liner was installed in 5/20. I closed in beginning of October. I pumped out the cover once and cleaned almost...
