    Installing Aquador. Worried about liner shift.

    Like the title says... I'm concerned with the liner shifting when removing the stock flange and installing the Aquador flange. Is this a possibility, or am I worrying about nothing? Anything else I should be concerned with?

    NH winter, pool cover and ice. Pool cover = Not a good idea?

    At closing time, I drained the pool to the recommended 6" below the return, but never covered the pool. Since the closing, I've had to chop through 1'+ of ice 3 times and siphon off 6" of water as additional precip has brought the level up to the return. My guess is I'll have to do it at least 2...

    Product to fill/stiffen Confer plastic ladder rungs?

    Hi, folks. I have a Confer Plastics 7200 series ladder. It is rated at 300lbs max. I'm about 270 and when I climb the thing, the rungs bend considerably, particularly the ones outside the pool. I'm sure the sun isn't helping, though I don't think it's making a drastic difference. I make it a...

    Initial treatment of water after delivery.

    Hi, folks. After the water truck leaves, what should I expect to need to do to the water? The pool is an 18' round, so about 8500 gal. I'm almost positive the water is coming from the city's municipal supply, so basically it's chlorinated drinking water. The pool comes with a "start-up supply"...

    Hi, folks. First time poster and soon to be new pool owner. My question is regarding skimmer installation and pool filling. First off, the pool is being professionally installed. From what I understand, after the liner is installed, the pool must be filled approx halfway BEFORE the skimmer...
