    Hayward skimmer (widemouth) support

    I did at first but then went to hand because of the plastic. I guess it just wasn't done

    Hayward skimmer (widemouth) support

    I cranked it down a bit more and it's good now. I wouldn't have thought it would have to be that tight but it had to get torqued pretty tight

    Hayward skimmer (widemouth) support

    How tight are you all getting with those bolts? Mine drips and I've tightened over and over. I'm nervous about breaking it at this point. I've checked gaskets at least a few times and everything looks right (not pinched).

    Hayward skimmer (widemouth) support

    Do you guys give it any PVC support on the soft sided pool? Seems a little heavy with water but wasn't sure what you all do. Thanks!

    New deck but not sure about wood treatment

    We have a new deck that we are sanding now but not sure what to do with the wood to protect it. Seal or stain and which brand do you all use? I'm also moments away from starting the Hayward skimmer so pretty excited about this summer. Thanks to you all! Thanks!

    I'm so lost with this algae Crud! HELP!

    Not sure, the tester showed it was high. 4 cups of muratic acid and I'm doing much better. Green is gone. Still a little cloudy but it's improving quickly This update was a few days ago. It's perfect now! Just needed a pH fix

    I'm so lost with this algae Crud! HELP!

    That's what i buy when it's available but we are still limited if it's available. The pool is looking less green today. I have the PH back under control. All of the chemicals looks like they are in range except the chlorine which is high on purpose. I can almost see the bottom of the pool and...

    Cal hypo Lowe's now has Clorox shock stuff. I didn't think that was advised. If there is something else that is carried by Lowe's please do let me know. Last time I was there, it looked like it had been robbed. I'm in a hotspot called Texas so that may be a factor. Thanks!

    I'm also using the jumbo tab from pool mate. I was using Leslie's before and ran out so I went to Amazon. That weekend that it happened we were gone a little longer than normal so I put in 2 or 3 tabs in the floater. I took all out but 1 when I got home thinking that it added CYA more than I...

    I'm so lost with this algae Crud! HELP!

    I admit that i didn't initially get the deluxe version of the testing kit but then bought a standalone kit just for CYA. Are you thinking the chlorine levels are low? Thanks for the quick response!

    I'm so lost with this algae Crud! HELP!

    SO this is the first time owning a pool. Started out the summer doing great never having any issues with chemical levels or anything really. The water always looked so crisp and clean, very clean! So we went on a trip for 3 days and came back to strips of algae on the bottom. I started with high...

    Any vendors with in stock pools?

    My wife was just talking to me about trampolines and pools. We looked 1.5 months ago and delayed for a few days as we weren't sure. We decided on a 400 pool but it magically turned into a 1200 pool! That was fast! We found one for 800 and just bit the bullet
