    Rust on 3 Year Old Doughboy

    Yikes, I'm sorry your sister went through that. I sent the retailer more photos the manufacturer requested, but I'm thinking I will just go ahead and start repairing. Doughboy wanted pictures with everything still assembled, but I had already taken apart the skimmer and the pump as well as part...

    Rust on 3 Year Old Doughboy

    Thank you for sharing the other post. As to the liner, I had never really liked the overlap liner that we originally got. Recently I was teaching my teenage son how to test the water and manage the pool, and it started to turn green. When he was helping me SLAM, there was an accident with the...

    Rust on 3 Year Old Doughboy

    No, it is fully above ground. No sprinklers near by, no leaks visible by the skimmer or return. This huge section of rust is on the inside near where my kids splash the most, as it faces the yard and not a fence line.   Reading the warranty, it looks like at the start of year 4 (which was 2...

    Rust on 3 Year Old Doughboy

    We were removing the original overlap liner to replace it with a hook and bead liner. Only to find our 3 year old pool has a great deal of rust in multiple spots. The pool had no leaks that I know of, so I am very concerned this happened. Not a saltwater pool. Contacted the retailer to see what...

    Bend in steel side pool wall

    After weeks of ground prep, a liner full of pin holes, and redoing our foam pool pad, we finally got the pool up and filled a little over a week ago. Now, I woke up this morning to see a bend in the pool wall at the buttress point. From what I have read, this means a high spot. However, because...

    Buying new steel sided pool

    It is difficult to get a 22" sand filter in CA. I am also having a hard time finding a dual speed 1 hp pump. I'm not sure if it is an availability issue or the CA restrictions. Would a 22" sand filter 1hp pump combo work? Or a 18 (19)" sand filter with a 1 hp pump?

    Buying new steel sided pool

    I looked at Pool Warehouse and this is their comparable. 12′ x 24′ Oval 52″ Deep Mt. Loch with liner, 22" waterways sand filter with 2 speed 1hp pump, solar cover, skimmer, and shipping for $2,385. I know nothing about this pool. Looking at it, the big differences between this Mt. Loch pool...

    Buying new steel sided pool

    Hi everyone. Before we got our first intex 8 years ago, this forum helped me tremendously. Now I am back asking for help and insight again. I am about to buy a steel sided pool for the first time. We had planned on replacing our rusted out bestways 9 x 18 this year with another intex. However...
