Hello all, Going to throw a Hail Mary out here and see if anybody has / knows where I can find some top rail connectors for my Lomart Grand Oak Deluxe 18x33 above ground pool (circa late 90s / early 2000s). Or, perhaps you know of a universal part that would be compatible. The part number is...

Thank you. What kind of paint do you recommend specifically ? Thank you again

So the magnet sticks and I will attach to photographs so you can see what I’m dealing with, or starting to deal with. I get it, it’s a very old pool, but it still functions and we would like to limp it along as long as possible before Replacing it because demolishing the deck alone is going to...

I will check with a magnet and attach a picture later today after I get off work Thank you

Hello all, I have an older above ground pool (18x33) Lomart Grand Oak Deluxe. My railing is starting to show some rust spots. Any recommendations for the best way to treat / get rid of the rust?

thank you, got the bleach in and CYA in a sock. Will start to work on pH tomorrow

Many of you might remember me from last year, I had a super super hot mess with combine chloramines and had to slam for about 2 weeks. Opened up the pool today and I'm a believer, crystal clear. I want your advice on what to correct first, I have added nothing to the pool, its been up and...

Okay so once I see a pattern establish, for example if my pool loses 3ppm every day I should be adding to 7 at a minimum to keep my target of 4. Think I got it. I will check in am and see where I am with chlorine. Will turn pump on and add chlorine in the am if need be then get myself on a...

So if I have a FC of 4 in the morning before I leave for work don’t do anything until I test when I get home then treat to a target of 4 in the evening ?

Hello all..... Just got over a particularly nasty CC issue. I’ve successfully slammed. I have a question in regards to the daily liquid chlorine maintenance. So 1x per day I should be testing my water and treating to my target chlorine? so according to pool school my target chlorine is 4...

Unfortunately our above ground is not worth the investment. Deck probably has a solid 3-5 years (5 being generous) and the pool itself is a lambert and likely put in sometime in the 90s - they don’t make parts for it anymore so we’ve got a few extra things on eBay in case of catastrophic...

I’ve been doing a lot of reading in old threads and articles which have pretty much indicated I shouldn’t be using my trichlor tabs in my automatic feeder. I‘m reaching out for some thoughts here. Ive just completed my slam and am letting my FC drift down to 4 (cya is 30). I work 3 12s...

Same here ...... yellow slick of pollen everywhere

I kept the slam going one more day even though I passed the OCLT sat into Sunday. Well when I tested the this morning (I’ve stayed on my schedule of 9pm and 5-530am) I failed again. Went from FC of 12.5 to 10 this morning, and depending on time of day I test I either as 0 color change for CC...

I will probably keep it at SLAM today just to 100% make sure I passed that OCLT. I’m assuming that that barely visibly color change when testing CC is acceptable ? also, I guess in need to go into a cycle of muriatic acid / aeration until i can get my TA down ? Last test it was 150

First I would thank everyone who responded to my non-stop posts helping me get through my CC issue: tim5055, richard3020(?), mknauss, kellyfair, zea33, and splashpad So the slam seems to me officially over & I have a few questions on how to go about the maintenance phase of things. First, I...

So I think I got it !!! 0530 FC 11.5 CC .5 or less, if there was a color change it was barely visible Should I slam one more day to be sure ? if not where do I go from here ?

pH crept up to 7.8 today, got it back down to 7.5. Chlorine seemed to hold reasonably today evening #s FC 12.5, CC 0.5 or less hope I break through tonight because I’m almost out of powder and my refill doesn’t come until Tuesday ..... and this was a new kit this year too :eek:

0530 FC 11(from 13.5 at 9pm) CC .5 or less

Got right back on the slam boat Did 4 tests and 3 additions since last post final numbers for the evening FC 13.5 CC .5 or less hopefully there’s overnight progress or at least I’m close

pH 7.5 FC 7.5 CC 0 (look to be anyhow) assume I got right back into my slam?

Consider acid and eyeball done as soon as I get home from gym will keep you all in the loop thanks all
