    What do you think the cause is?

    What do you think the cause is?

    The cover?? Ohhhhh, it filled up with water, dipped too much and pulled in the walls. Got it.

    What do you think the cause is?

    The pool was only half full of water. Is it possible the liner pulled the wall in?

    What do you think the cause is?

    This is a friends pool. They just moved into the house in Octobor so they don't know the history of the pool.[attachment=0:3kap7r6h]untitled22.JPG[/attachment:3kap7r6h][attachment=1:3kap7r6h]untitled1.JPG[/attachment:3kap7r6h]

    In the swim doesn't have a pool cover in my size

    Oh, interesting on the sizes. But even on the site you linked, some are listed as 33 and some as 33/34, and I would think I would depend on the manufacturer of the cover??? I'm so confused. We have a deck but have allowed room for the cover to go under the deck and around the pool, as if the...

    In the swim doesn't have a pool cover in my size

    Darn, I was afraid you would say that. I don't want to spend that much more, lol! I'll keep shopping. And it's a wintercover, not a safety cover.

    Anyone Using a Mesh Winter Cover?

    hmmm, I've never removed snow or ice from my winter pool cover, and I am in PA. Should I be doing this? Does it matter if the cover is weighted down? Doesn't it just sit on the water anyway?

    In the swim doesn't have a pool cover in my size

    My pool is 18x34, in the swim has a cover for a 18x33 pool, the cover itself is 22x37, so that will only leave me 1.5 feet on each end. Is that just too tight? Only other option is for a 24x41 pool, the cover itself is 25x45, which will leave 3.5 ft on each side, and 6ft on the ends, that...

    Above Ground Pool Steps

    I need some help picking one out. I though I liked the wedding cake sort of steps, but I can only fine 2 models available anywhere, and I'm not sure I love either of them. Does anyone here have one? Is your brand sturdy? Do you have algea issues under the ladder? Do you use a pad underneath on...

    Job Interview Question

    IMO, yes, you can dress down a little more in the second interview, unless you will be interviewing with higher ups than last time. But still try to keep it nicer than the work dress code.

    Seeking advice - BBB Habits

    I'm going to be using a SWG. If I didn't have that and I wanted to do BBB, I would use a liquid chlorinator. There is no way I that could be testing and adjusting the water daily. It simply wouldn't happen.

    In line chlorinator and cya level

    All I know is when we used the pucks, every year mid-season (right before the big pool party of course) The pool would get cloudy, and almost nothing would help clear it. Somehow we would always limp along until the end of the pool season, while of course dumping gallons of expensive pool store...

    Pool turned green and they got pool stored, time to help!

    Re: Pool turned green and they got pool stored, time to help Since you live out in the boonies, why not order the test kit online and have it delivered? It only took me about 2-3 days to get it. And the best part, I didn't use any gas :)

    AARRGGHH!!!!, Nieghbours dog destroyed my pool!

    It would be very reasonable to ask for them to pay, or to take them to small claims court if they do not. Be sure to have pictures, and any other proof you could think of (pic of the hole under the fence). You may also need to prove that you had done enough to keep the dog out. Like a fence...

    Sand Calculations

    How much sand would I need for 2" deep under a 18' x 34' pool? And how much more if I wanted a sand cove? (we are probably going to use the foam cove, but I might get extra just in case) Thanks!

    Quality of Sand

    I found a much cheaper sand and gravel place near me, their cost to deliver 3 ton of "lesser" quality sand is just as much as the delivary charge alone where I normally get it from. But, they call their sand "lesser" quality. He mentioned going through it just to make sure there isn't anything...

    Oval AGP and foam coves

    I'm planning on using the foam coves when we install my pool, but I have one concern. From what I understand the bottom rails could be high on the sides of an oval pool. How do I handle this? Fill it up with sand so that it is all level then add the coves? As anyone installed these in an oval...

    I lost my installation instructions - edit

    Heeeelp! They are no help where I bought the pool, the warehouse is seperate than the store. I can't seem to get them to pull one out. I'll try again later, and maybe I'll get someone more helpful.

    Photos to Share: Sloped Backyard Retaining Wall for AGP

    Wow, love love love the deck! And the pool of course. I assume the issue with using a retaining wall area may be that it is backfilled and may settle? What did you do to avoid that issue?

    Well, I'm sure it's around somewhere. But for the life of me I can't find them! I'm having no luck looking online either. I called the place where I bought my pool and they gave me two email address that don't work. :hammer: Maybe one of you could help me? Its a Sandy Point above ground pool...
