    Hole in liner + rust on wall

    Thanks all, this site is amazing. Yes after seeing your reply’s we are going to start taking the water down to below the hole at least. Researching cost of same size full pool (rails/liner/wall/support posts vs buying just the new wall+liner. Almost same price!! I knew when I pressed on it...

    Thanks guys, I was afraid of that........ Casey what do you mean by shear the wall exactly? Split it open like seam? Is it possible to replace that whole section of wall, top to bottom?

    New AGP pump question

    Thanks Dave! If we add a SWG in the future will the 1HP be enough still? Or 1.5 better choice? **We have 1.5" pvc piping

    New AGP pump question

    Good morning! I am replacing our current 2HP pump and have a question on if the one I am eyeing will work well with our pool size and filter size. I am looking at the Hayward SP15922S Power-Flo Matrix 2 speed 1HP. My concern is if this will be enough pump for our 27' round pool with 250lb sand...

    How early can I open my pool?

    I'm in Iowa and REALLY want to open or start opening today. This weather has been so great and I thought if we could get the solar cover on now to start using that sunshine to warm the water maybe we could see some swimming in April! I think if we are mindful of these 25-35 degree nighttime...

    Reasonably priced 30ft abg sunblock weave mesh pool cover ????????

    We have had our pool for 1 year and last fall went with the Arctic Armour Rugged Mesh Winter Cover. I didn't want to deal with pumping rain/snow water off top of solid cover and having to babysit the pool that way. It also was a good price at $124 for our 27" round. It worked well for us last...

    Boatman/Backswimmers in pool

    Sorry no Baquacil pool here. I had those pesky bugs last year and a few this year early. I raised my FL last year and that seemed to keep them away for a while. Still had 1-5 here and there. I ran my FC levels a little to close for comfort though.... A few weeks ago I borated my pool with MA...

    Pipe size

    Thanks DanielP! We have valves right off the skimmer inlet and before the return eye but I don't think they have unions on them and don't have them near pump. That is a good idea. This past year we lowered the water and closed the valves to keep any raising water in the pool then opened up a...

    Our 27' round deck build

    Yes, it's not crystal clear for sure! Blue but cloudy and I"m still trying to vac up all the dirt and sawdust from over winter. I've vac'ed 3-4 times now but it's sure taking awhile to get everything out. My vac seems to just push a lot of it around and it gets suspended until it settles and...

    Bleach Prices 2014

    Yes, my Fleet Farm also had about 6 boxes left at 9.99 for 4. Not in the add just on a pallet in the isle....maybe when it's gone it's gone mentality. I can't imagine they will re-order. I got a couple to bring my stock up to 20 gal but may go back for a couple more. I see a slam in my...

    Pipe size

    Thanks JasonLion. It is ok if we only replace the pipe that was cut with 2". Some of the elbows after the cut into the pump and plumbing from the pump to filter would still be 1.5". Will having to graduate down to the 1.5" at the turn negate any advantage with the new long 2" runs we put in?

    Pipe size

    Hello everyone. We recently had to cut our pvc pipe (pipe from the skimmer and pipe to the return) to allow a deck build around our pool. We've used some "backwash" blue hose interim but it's time to get it back to pvc. My question is about pipe size. We currently have 1.5". With our pump...

    What am I doing wrong with my vaccum technique?

    No, most only filter to waste if you have large amounts of dirt and or debris on the bottom that you will be vacuuming up that you do not want to go thru your filtration system. If you do not vac to waste you may be backwashing more often.
