    2.0 inch pool deck flange discontinued?

    I didn't think it would be so hard to find a 2.0 inch pool deck flange for my ladder, but it is. Apparently they discontinued the ones with the 4.25 inch base and went to a much larger size. Is there any place online that would have these? Yes, I tried Amazon and Ebay, no luck. Any leads would...

Well, he moved, and I'm looking to see if there is a cheap alternative to buying a Wet-Dry Shop Vac. Is there a cheap little pump out there that will...

    CYA Powder Buildup on Bottom of Pool

    According to the directions on my bottle of ProTeam UV Shield Conditioner (CYA), I am supposed to spread it around the pool. I did that, but also mixed it with buckets of hot water, then put in in. The kid at the pool store said to do it that way. It's dark now, but I'm seeing areas of the pool...

    To Condition, or Not To Condition?

    Brand new pool owner here. Hello! This is the best site I've seen regarding pools. Anyway, I figure that my pool should be done filling in about 3-4 hours. The kid (and he was a kid) at the pool store said the very first thing I should do is add ProTeam UV Shield Conditioner to the pool, and run...
