Hey guys/gals, So I decided to go the TFP way. I've been testing my water every day, usually twice. Within the first 5 days I got my CYA up to ~35. I used the instant liquid stuff, which worked great...the dot test on my TF100 (or whatever the test kit they sell here at the store) took a...

So, my poor old well has expelled the last of the 13,500 gallons needed to fill the pool. The DE filter is humming along, and charged with 4 lbs. of DE. I threw in a bottle of bleach and a bottle of 'instant conditioner'. I took some initial readings. This was about an hour after adding the...

Hey guys, So my pool is full and was able to finally turn on the filter. About 60% of the liner looks great, above the water line. The other 40%...well, it looks like this: - - - Updated - - - And this...

Hey folks, So I finally have enough water in my 24 ft above ground (13.5k gallon) pool to turn on the filter. Have a Hayward DE filter, 3/4 HP pump My pool was filled with my well. The pH is 7.8 FC is...well, gone every day. ;-) CYA is 0 I'd like to get in this thing as soon as possible...

Hey guys, I put up a 24 ft round pool and the liner seems like it has too much material at the top. Where I need to cut for the skimmer, now that I'm almost filled, it's billowed out quite a bit. Kind of worries me. It's a v-bead that is sized for my pool. Maybe I made the mound around the...

So I just built my pool a few weeks ago. And by built I mean I had a bunch of guys come help me put the physical structure up. It's a Wilbar (Sharkline or somesuch) 24' x 52' above ground. Over the course of the last few weeks, I've been filling it, and it's about 1/2 way full right now. Ha...

Hey guys, So, I'm in the midst of my pool install. The electrical for the pool consists of a single 3/4 HP 110v pump. There is a shed about 10 feet from the pool. I was thinking I would run a 30a subpanel into the shed, probably using 10 gauge wire in conduit, so I don't have to dig 2 feet...

Hey folks, So i had an old clothes line pole sunk in the ground about 2 feet with concrete. I yanked it out with my truck and used it as a fire pit for about a year. Now, I'm needing to fill it in as I level the ground for the pool. Any thoughts on the best way to fill it in? My cousin...

Well, the battle has begun. Placement has been selected and sod has been removed... Next step...figure out how to level it. I'm thinking I'll build an easy water level...but have also seen the '2x4' method. :)
