I have been trying to determine to close my pool with a Shop Vac. Last year the company I hired did it this way. I was unable to be there to see how it was done. I have a pump, sand filter and a heater. I know to lower the water below the intake water spot by about 6 inches, and to remove...

I have had it running this year. My son had some friends over and the pump and heater were on to add a few degrees. In the morning, realized that the water level was below to skimmer and everything was still on. There may not have been enough water to go into skimmer and heater. The heater...

I have never tried to vacuum pool. This past week or so we got lot of rain and I got a layer of algae onto the bottom of pool. my chlorine level dropped, but I have gotten the pool blue again. My issue is I hooked the hose up to my brush head, I put that in the water and put the other end of...

My current pool has holes and a worn area. I patched over 8 spots which I believe were do to ice break up from the winter. I will need to buy a liner. Have you guys ordered online? Which site? I do know I will go with a 25 gauge as it seems that is the thickest.

I had a company do my winterize. I should have written everything down. Is there a diagram or what do I need to make sure things are set up to get things going. I do have a 27' round above ground pool, heater and a sand filter. Then once I get everything hooked up, would I fill the entire...

I did attempt to put a tarp on the pool over the winter. I am in Minnesota. That was not successful. The water that was in the pool froze over the winter and during the melting, some of the ice must have cut through the liner. I have identified 3 2 inch rips in the liner. The pool is empty...

I know most of you have done this by yourselves. I am looking at doing it next year, just dont trust myself at doing it for my 1st year. Besides them blowing out the lines and lowering the water, and putting chemicals.... I see some talking about covers, pillows....The only cover i have is my...

New to a pool. Just moved in on Friday and will need to buy chemicals. Not sure what to grab. What are a few things I should stock up on? I am in the military and can get a small discount at Home Depot. So are the chemicals HDX, MaxBlue, and Pool Time good? If so, what has people used and...

Just purchased a 25ft above pool that came with a house. Hoping to learn how to maintain it, keep it in a pristine shape. I have to admit that a pool does scare me. I have read many articles since buying that house last week. Hard to tell exactly how to go about it. How do most of you all...
