I live in Arkansas and today the high will be around 84 and this is some of the coolest weather we have had. It will get colder and we will traditional have some temps below freezing. Do I have to close the pool or can I just maintain it over the winter, leaving the pump on a time to cycle...

Welcome to TFP! :wave: When they installed by pool, they made sure that the sand was level and smoth. Then they hung the liner and made sure that it was straight and the bottom was smooth with no creases. Then they added a small about of water and made adjustments to the top. I have read on...

You can use the Pool Calculator to calculate the CYA levels for your pool. That will give you a target range. You could then introduce CYA so that it comes up to the high end of that range. It is my understanding that CYA is somewhat of an illusive target; however, if you add the amount...

I can't answer your questions but someone will be along soon to help. :bump:

Welcome to TFP! :wave: With a vinyl liner you have to be careful not to have sharp edges that will puncture or cut threw the liner. Sand is what we have under our pool. The PB took about 12" off the ground to make it level using a skidder. Then put the sand on. Makes it all level. We...

WAY TO GO!!! :whoot:

Well I can't help with your questions, but I love your topic name. :jocolor:

If you will use the 6-way and post the results of all the 6 elements it tests, that will give us a better idea of what is going on. It will probably show results for: FC = Free Chlorine TC = Total Chorine TA = Total Alkalinity PH = PH ( :mrgreen: ) CH = Calcium Hardness CYA = Cyanuric Acid

Do you have a test kit? Can you post a full set of test numbers. Two things I can think of would be you have organics consuming your chlorine or you are losing it to sunlight because you don't have any CYA in your water. The first thing I would do would be to get a complete set of numbers...

I was researching this the other day and found an article on how to pour a concrete patio. Follow the link below. They make it look really easy. http://www.diynetwork.com/how-to/how-to ... index.html

You might want to read the section in Pool School about winterizing. I think there is some information there about disconnecting your pump and filter. If not, search out the manufacturer of your pool and see if there is info on their web site.

What is tabebuia??? :shock:

I had thought about this in my area. I don't have the capital to do it but another thought I had was to be a service guy who knew about BBB and could help there clients maintain a healthy pool for much less that what traditional pool people charge.

Re: Stair Installation Expectations (pics added) Okay so the pool guy came out Saturday. Stood and looked around. Said that the "straps" need to be installed. Said he left them there(he didn't) and wondered what we did to them. I am attaching pictures. I have emailed the store and I am...

It is really raining here today but I will get some pics. The pool people came back yesterday and didn't do anything. Said we needed some straps. Well they were suppose to bring the straps. They came with the steps. I am threw with them. As soon as I can I will post some pics. :evil:

Hi everyone, I need some feedback about how stable a set of deluxe stairs should be for an AGP. I am disabled to some degree, having artificial knee and hip, so I spent the money to buy the deluxe steps for my new pool. I bought my pool package from Family Leisure. I am pretty heavy but my...

I love that Jeep!!!! I owned a 2000 TJ and we traded it in on a boat. I miss my Jeep alot! As soon as I get my current vehicle paid for, I am going to get another 2000. I want a straight 6 in it though. Don't want the new motor. Love it. Be sure and post a pic of the other one too. I...

Thanks so much! Hope you have a great day as well. :cheers:

Mine is 70 this morning. Last week it was 78-80 and we swam four times. Cold front came through yesterday and now it is cold again! :(

Had someone tell me the other day that, "bleach will ruin your liner". I said, well then chlorine will too. LOL it is hilarious to me how stupid people think you are. :roll:

Ok now you have made my head really hurt!!!! :bounce: :compress: :pale: :cyclopsani:

I have the same problem right now. I live in Arkansas. Like poolmom says, the knee highs work well. Also, when it gets really bad, I get the water hose and spray over the top of the water which knocks it to the bottom of the pool. Then you can sweep it up once it settles. Sometimes I turn...

So if you just put a couple of boxes of 20 mule team in to take care of a balance issue, is that dangerous to small children and pets?

That is going to be one beautiful pool when you get finished. Will you invite us all over for a pool party?!!! :party:
