Hi All, Well I closed the IG pool for the 1st time a couple of weeks ago. All seemed to go well. Got it cleaned up, blew out the skimmers and returns, plugged them up and got the main drain blowing air bubbles like a Jacuzzi and closed the valve to air lock the main drain. This setup doesn't...

Hopefully someone will have some insight on this question. I started to close the pool, got it balanced, cleaned, and put in the winter chemicals to cycle a few hours. Pulled the rails and was about to start draining the level below the skimmer then it started to rain and I called it a day...

I have been going through the supplies the owner left me and found a new cover pillow. I was under the impression they weren't used with IG pools? Has anyone used one with water tubes and solid cover ? Thank you

I am getting ready to close the pool for the first time. I just checked the cover left for the pool and see there are holes in it and it should be replaced. I can get a 21 x 37' cover for $65 and I guess they only last a couple of seasons. I like those safety covers with the spring loading. What...

I found this in my pool shed. I just bought this house a month ago and the owners never went over what they left. Can anyone ID this tool and what it's for? Thanks

Hi All, I will be getting ready to close my pool within the next 2-3 weeks. I can't believe we're into Sept already. I have read the sticky on closing and have some questions. These may be obvious to most here but again this is my first closing. I have a cover, looks like a green tarp but it...

Well it's been close to a week and the pool water is now clear as tap water. I was in there today and really enjoyed it. Thanks again for the support. I work with a guy who fit 90" street elbows in his returns to move the water in one direction and said they really helped keep the pool clean...

Hi, I just found this forum and I'm glad I did but my head is "swimming" with all the chemicals, procedures, and advice I have been getting - I'm lost. Here is my story, hopefully some of you will help me on my way. I just bought a new home and in the backyard is a 16 x 32 x 8 - 22,000...

Hi I just joined this forum since I now have a new house with an in-ground pool. I haven't worked with a pool since I was kid 40 years so I have some questions I will need your help with. I live in CT so we only use the pool from June to Sept. I just wanted to say "Hi" and thank you for having...
