    Taking down/disassembling our Wilbar agp and storing for possible future use.

    Hello everyone I’m looking for any advice for storing the pieces for our 52” agp. It has been a very sad month for me and my family. My 16mo old grandson passed away last month due to getting into the pool. So we are taking it down because it is too painful for us to look at after such a...

    Hurricane preparation

    We have an AGP. I don’t want to drain the pool. Honestly we still have standing water between the hurricane and the rain. I don’t think we can tolerate anymore water for now. However I’m happy with the progress considering it only took me 2 days to get it to being blueish cloudy water with a...

    Hurricane preparation

    Thanks everyone! I can’t lie it made me feel good that you all asked. so I was able to finally get my ph down but it dropped between 7.0-6.8. What harm is caused if I shock it below the 7.2? Just curious. I’m preparing to increase a little but just wanted to ask.

    Hello everyone! Thank you for keeping in touch. We just got home around 8pm. Our home was miraculous untouched! Seriously I don’t know how! However it’s absolutely horrible here! They say the damage is worse than Hurricane Katrina, Laura, and Zeta combined! The news doesn’t show the real...

    Hurricane preparation

    Thank you for the article but I’m not going to be home to do whatever they were trying to explain when trying to drain the water level. I was planning on bringing the pump in because I’m not sure if we will have severe flooding. So I’m guessing just get chlorine in tonight and cross my fingers...

    Any rust prevention ideas for metal frame Bestway pool?

    I’m not sure if you’ve addressed this yet but I actually called rustoleum and they gave me the name of 2 or 3 different products that were used to prevent rust. The main thing you need to tell them is the metals that you are protecting to make sure you have the correct product. One came in spray...

    Sorry I didn’t see any replies until just now. Thank y’all! I’ve been keeping up with SLAM level of chlorine. I did vacuum to waste too. @Pv2 I use knee high/stockings on the skimmer basket. I’m not sure I’m willing to use the DE again. A few weeks ago we had rain so bad for 2 weeks got a a day...

    Happy Father’s Day to all you dads!! I woke up this morning and was stoked! The water looked so much better with the dead stuff on the bottom so I tested and added the chlorine to the slam # and decided to vacuum. Since there wasn’t a bunch on the bottom I thought I’d test out what I was...

    @kellyfair The bucket the tables are in has a little water in it. I’m guessing the lid didn’t get closed properly. Should I just throw them away?

    Ok so my brain was so fixed on chlorine that I added it before I added the MA to lower the PH. Can I just wait a little bit and still add it?

    Ok guys! Thank you as I was telling my dad my thoughts I thought I should wait. Saying it out loud sounds different then tossing it back and forth in your mind!! I think I was trying to avoid testing cya again today and then again in a few days if I have to backwash and vacuum to waste again. I...

    Covered and unattended pool for three years. What are my first two steps?

    Ohh no!! Great pic to express your feelings! I have been having a not so fun season on my end and feel like the picture explains my thoughts as well! I told my little one, if this doesn’t get better soon what you think about stocking out with fish? He was thrilled to think he can swim with then...

    Pool accessory holder and poolside garbages

    Is yours in direct sunlight? I have one under the patio that stores my sons toys and I don’t have the same issue. I wasn’t thinking about that when I asked. But after reading your reply I was thinking of how none of the stuff in his box has issues. Maybe it’s just too much heat in its current...

    Pool accessory holder and poolside garbages

    For those of you that have a deck box do you find that some items that are stored get messed up from being inside of it? Do you keep your stuff in there when it’s not pool season? Are there items that shouldn’t be stored in the box that I’m unaware of? I have a dark brown one and we keep it...

    so I haven’t put the sand back yet! I’ve been reading other threads and researching a few things. I have rinsed the sand and got the cloudiness out! Took much longer than I expected! So I was about to add sand back to the filter but realized I didn’t clean the laterals after inspecting them for...
