    30' round opinions....

    Got the pool all dialed in and running the Intex SWG. The Intex appears to be working just great and keeping up with no problems. Haven't got the timing perfect, but it appears running the SWG for around 4-5 hours/day is doing the trick. We'll see when it gets hotter and more sun in the...

    Pool cleaners and stairs?

    Our 24' Round AGP came with a "free" Dirt Blaster auto vacuum. However, we have Easy Step stairs installed and I was skeptical that the vacuum would find it's way around it. I was correct, it gets stuck at the stairway, but even if it could find it's way around, it messes up it's natural...

    Foam Cove Question

    Our 24' Sharkline Matrix is filling even as I type! I used the Gladon coving, just the peel and stick. The leg bases do jet out into the pool area and get in the way of the coving laying flush. I made a small cutout on the underside of the coving in those areas, but it still didn't lay...

    Thanks for all the advice! Good point on the warranty and saltwater, that didn't even cross my mind. I was going to DIY this whole deal, but I just might go price out some all resin pools and the install crew was a great idea as well. Thanks, much appreciated. I'll report back when I have...

    30' round opinions....

    For the past couple of years, we had a great time with our 16' Intex using the SWG with great success. We have decided on a larger, 30' pool offered at Sam's. This guy here: http://www.samsclub.com/sams/shop/product.jsp?productId=116035&navAction=#desc Everything looks straighforward to me...

    Need chemicals for initial setup of saltwater pool?

    Very good! Came home with a jug of bleach, a jug of muriatic and the 3# jug of the stablizer. Will start with the stabilizer tonight. Thanks for the tip on the copper chingaderras, I'll unplug that bugger right now. Thanks for your help, Dave! Howard

    Need chemicals for initial setup of saltwater pool?

    Dave, after setting up the pool Saturday, around 1 pm I started to fill it with both tap and well water. It had a bit of a green hue to it. I added salt, ran the pump and kids were swimming in it for a few hours, then ran the pump and SWG all night. Woke up to very clear water and it has been...

    Need chemicals for initial setup of saltwater pool?

    It does produce copper.......but it's obvious I need to read that "pool school" because I have no idea what you just said except the fact I'm aware that the pump is a whimp!
