86 degrees today with a little assistance from the HeatPro heat pump overnight.

So all pool owners must add water throughout the season. That task usually requires you to run a hose and throw it in the pool. It's a pain in the butt. I developed a neat little contraption to make it much easier. 3/4" pvc pipe custom built to hang over the pool rail with a garden hose fitting...

It will work with both, I have salt. As with any wooden deck covering you will need to maintain it every few years. I plan to power wash at the beginning of every season and re-coat in a few years. Send them a Facebook message and they will be glad to answer any questions you have about their...

You are most welcome. Make sure to post pics of the finished product once you figure out what you are going to do.

And another.

There is no better stain than from Stain and Seal Experts. Here is a pic of our deck stained with their Cedar color.

Good to be back!!

Here are my first results for the season. Not too bad for just opening up last week.

Just ordered the Pentair Warrior SL from Marina! Great people to work with. Can wait to get it.

I have been searching for a robotic pool cleaner and I was all set on a Dolphin E10 until a friend of mine recommended the Hayward Tigershark cleaner. What are people's thoughts about using the Tigershark in an above ground or should I just stick with the Dolphin?

I’m going to be opening up within the next 3 weeks. Took a look under the cover the other day and it’s crystal clear and just waiting to be uncovered. Fingers crossed for a beautiful summer.

That is correct. Get yourself a good test kit like the TF100 or K2006C. Once you get it post up your results and watch all the help you could ever need magically appear on here. These guys won’t steer you wrong. Most importantly, STAY OUT OF POOL STORES AND STAY AWAY FROM THEIR TESTING.

I would drain and redo the liner. The wrinkles won’t come out once the water is in it.

CYA has been added. Thanks for the help @Newdude

My CYA went from 70 to 50 after several rain storms. Is it normal to have to add CYA during the season? Pardon me for the silly question but this is the first year with a pool and up to now my numbers have been pretty good according to TFP standards.

Just finishing up our oasis. Need to stain the deck yet, install the lighted post caps and put lattice underneath it.

Do NOT swim until you add chlorine and get it up to the TFP recommended level. Let me give you the BEST advice I learned on here....STOP GOING TO THE POOL STORE for testing and chemicals. Order a good test kit, like the TF100 or K-2006C, and take control of your own water. Once you get a test...

If there are wrinkles in it now there will be wrinkles in it when it is full.

You raise FC level to SLAM, not pH level.

I ordered them online. Shipping to me was pretty quick. Pavers is the other choice and will work fine as well, but for me I had the time to order in the equipment pads.

I used these Equipment Pads for my build. They are very nicely priced and are very sturdy. See attached pics.
