    16x32 steel wall build in Arkansas

    We're building a 16x32 rectangle pool w 8' hopper we got from Royal as a kit. We're working on digging the hopper. It has been complicated by our high water table which we are working on getting under control. We are digging below the finished depth of the hopper and placing some drainage pipe...

    Aquabot Pool Rover Jr vs S2-50

    I posted this on the AGP board but I didn't get any responses. Sorry for cross-posting. I've had a suction cleaner (Mamba) for the last year but it never does its job very well. I'll leave it in overnight but then it'll get caught on our ladder. It also tends to favor one side of the pool...

    Pool Rover Jr vs S2-50

    I've had a suction cleaner (Mamba) for the last year but it never does its job very well. I'll leave it in overnight but then it'll get caught on our ladder. It also tends to favor one side of the pool over the other so one side is very clean. So, I've about decided to buy a robot. These...

    Can't get pH up and keep it up

    pH 7.0 FC 0 CC 2.0 TA 70 CH 50 -- but I don't believe this number because our area has hard water (and when I was using an HTH 6-way test a few years back, the total hardness was so high that I had difficulty with the test) CYA 35 I just added 121 oz of 8.25% bleach tonight. Pump is on a...

    New Pool Build -- 24' Steel pool

    We are in the beginning stages of installing our new-to-us pool. It is a 24' Artesian Echo Canyon II with 54" walls. We have begun leveling the ground with the tractor. We have clay where it is going to be. It drains very poorly and is already squishy in spots (old trees?) that was there...

    What is this piece?

    Is this a coping strip for a beaded liner? or what? It seems that the liner was a j-hook liner of which we only have the j-hook part--they cut off the actual liner. I can identify all the other parts of the pool except this one. This is a new-to-me pool. I only know that it is a 24' 52"...

    New to me pool -- What brand is it?

    I bought this pool tonight. It was already taken apart and I wasn't able to find any information other than the manufacturing date of July 2006 on the part of the walls that I could see. Here are a few pictures that I was able to take tonight. We still have to go back to get the rest of the...
