Hello, We have an old steel doughboy style 15 x 30 x 48" pool. We are replacing the 10-year-old liner and coping strips. Should we also replace the cove? The cove is very flattened down so it seems like an obvious no-brainer to replace it now that we have access to it. However, the new cove will...

Hello, We are planning to replace the overlap liner on our above ground pool. Our current liner, which is the standard blue color, has lasted for more than a decade. I was considering purchasing a 25 gauge liner with a design called, "Glimmerglass" from linerworld.com. I was able to find it on...

I need to buy a new brush for my AG pool. Are nylon bristles longer lasting than poly or does it make no difference? I have read that the Whale Wall is a good brush but seems to have some issues with corrosion. Also, I need a brush now and the Whale Wall isn't available locally. The blue and...

Hi, we are installing a used 15 x 30 oval steel wall pool. We're trying to decide whether to go with a foam, dirt or sand cove. Our pool instructions say to use dirt for the cove, not sand. Reading posts on this subject has left me more confused than ever. Some people who formerly had sand...

Oops, I posted this question in the pool start up forum. I didn't see that there is a specific forum for above ground pools. My question is whether it is worth the extra expense to install a cove and Happy Bottom. We live in the high desert of southern California. We have sandy soil and no...
