    Skim A Round

    Any thoughts on this product? I have a suction cleaner that I never use because it means the skimmer is then out of service and all the debris that falls in the pool just sits there. If this actually works then I would actually want to use my suction vac more. Would love a robot but that is...

    Looking for suggestions on a potential problem.

    Seeing several threads about rusted out walls. This is what keeps me paranoid about our pool. The liner doesn't have to have a leak to be a problem. With a beaded liner there are gaps between the bead reciever where water can get in between the wall and liner and it has no where to really go...

    Updates for 2018!!

    Happy swim season everyone!! ? Just wanted to post some updates and changes that I've done for this year. This is the 3rd year we've had this 24ft pool and I believe the 9th year for the deck. First off, changed the deck color from cedar to a dark brown this year. Found a 5gal bucket of...

    Question on bead receiver

    Quick question. Since this pool is new to me and we got it used, I am wondering if I should have taped the seams where the bead receivers meet up? I was in the pool earlier and noticed that if the water gets to moving it occasionally will flip up above the bead. I've looked in the...

    New to us

    https://www.amazon.com/clouddrive/share/kLJiPZkvaCgsm6B6sl7uM5XL7cNlEYk1wK6BLsbxXlW Got a free above ground pool. Our old 18ft metal frame bit the dust after 6yrs. So I'm going to start a progress thread of the install. It's not a fancy in ground pool but it's still a better pool than the old...

    New to us, unknown pool brand

    Hello all and welcome to the early stages of pool season!! We just acquired a free above ground pool to replace the 6yr old pro series as seen in my avatar. All I know about it is that it is 24ft and has a 52" sidewall height. The top rails, rail caps, bottom rails, bead receiver, and bottom...

    Top rail of soft sided pools

    I've got a question for those who own metal frame intex and pro series type pools. As you can see in the picture I've attached, the liner material on the very top is starting to show some discoloration and looking a little dried out from being out in the sun going on three years. So I'm...

    Successfully jacked up an Intex/Summer Escapes pool

    Ok so long story short we go a lot of rain with the recent storms. Rain = GOOD for our rain fall totals here but not so good for the pool before I re-sloped the yard away from the pool on one side. Well this has been a growing problem since early spring when our pool over flowed due to lots and...

    Makes me sad :(

    Well we didn't get any rain but the 100 degree temps have left us here in central okla. With that said and all the fun of trying to LOWER the water temp all summer it took mother nature all of one day to drop the water temp down 12 degrees! :grrrr: woke up this morning to 73 degree pool...

    How's the water?

    Let me just say wow! It's been a HOT summer here in Oklahoma! It's now almost a battle to keep the water cool. We hit 113 here today and I've lost count as I think we are almost at 60+ days of 100degree temps! Water topped at 89 today, the warmest it's got to all season. I'd hate to see how hot...

    My pool build this year

    Finally got on the computer instead of using the iphone so I could upload some pics of what I've put together so far this year. Went from a 16' Intex to an 18' ProSeries pool purchased from Sam's Club. Built a small deck to sit pool side or relax around it. Far cry from the rickety ladder that...
