Ollies had chemicals back in May, thats where we usually buy, but they haven't had any shipments since may. All of the online sellers are price gouging,example $12 a # for shock?!?

Isn't 6.24 for a 1# bag of shock high! I been paying <$3. is there really no chlorine, or is it hoarding again, like the TP? This is very frustrating.

I am in NE AL, I cannot find any chlorine, liquid, bleach, nothing, all stores are sold out, online search shows none anywhere as far as VA. No tablets, no pool chemicals of any kind at hardware, walmart, feed stores, nothing. Whats the alternative?

We cannot find chlorine, liquid or tablets or shock, there seems to be a shortage, what can we do to keep our pool from ruining while we wait on chemicals? We don't even know if there will be any? Willing to travel for chlorine, but haven't found any in 500+ miles?

Sorry for delayed reply, we been swimming, haha Our pool is 33ft round, we also use the return to give the pool more circulation as you can direct it. also, there is a fountain attachment that works really well the kids love it. our return is very near the other equipment so the cord reached, I...

We bought this Aqualuminator light on ebay 7 years ago, our light still works and the only trouble we had was when my husband was turning it to adjust the water flow we ripped our liner, but saw it immediately and patched so its fine. We must have gotten a good one, 7 years ago!

We took the cover off our AG pool, added water, vacuumed, tested and the only thing low is calcium/hardness? Unbelievable, we did use a closing "kit" and bought a new solid cover last year which kept EVERYTHING out, we can swim TODAY, if the water was a little warmer. Imagine that. Has never...

I just saw this old thread and wanted to say, our light still works and the only trouble we had was when my husband was turning it to adjust the water flow we ripped our liner, but saw it immediately and patched so its fine. We must have gotten a good one, 7 years ago!

we have the fountain for the light, we like it alot...it reaches about half way across the pool, and the light has lasted us all summer, we will see if its still working next year.

we installed an Aqualuminator that we found new on ebay for about $70 this summer. It works very well, it installs in the return opening, you do not have to drain to install, my husband and I did it. Its pretty bright, I think we could use 2 of them, our pool is 30' round.

Hi, Those are metal, from the plumbing or electrical department, might be electrical, the pipe screws into those. Also used pvc glue and he ran a bolt thru both the uprights to secure them together, seemed a tad wobbly before that.

stairs back in

We sent the magnets back, they do not replace securing the steps to the deck "somehow". They are used to replace sandbags for holding the stairs down to keep from floating, which they didn't do that as well as we needed either, we put the sand bag back in the toe of the stairs. Our stairs have 2...

Exactly, we had to install a block on the other side of the rail, on the deck to attach the arms to. It just looks rigged. So, we did order the magnet system, hasn't arrived yet, but I will post the results. ><>

Re: ...just wanted to say the best pool skimmer for round AG type in this search on ebay: Blue Devil SkimzIt Automatic Pool Skimmer $26.95 with free shipping. works awesomely well!

I am purchasing a set of these for our stairs because I don't like the way the arms that come with the stairs attach to our deck, I HOPE they work and I will post when we get them installed. We have sand bags in our stairs now and they actually do not move around much without the arms attached.

we learned that just like no such thing as too big for the pool, no such thing as too big for the deck...(except while cleaning of course) We are adding a patio to the deck where it meets the earth on the high side. Will add pictures. My husband is the most awesome diy'er!

not selling this product, wish I invented it! this skimmer is the best piece of cleaning equipment we have purchased so far. Just adjust the return to send the water around the pool and this thing catches almost everything, you do have to clean it out but it keeps tons of debris out of the...

our pool temp is 74 degrees today in NE Alabama....kids are swimming!

oh man, hand digging....yikes. It will be worth it in the end. We haven't done the patio part yet, but i will post pictures when its done. Here are the pics of the lay of the land and why we had to dig several feet to level and the deck is done. see my prior post showing just the pool and then...

Hi, We installed on a very un-level site and found it worked out great, we are building a rock patio on the "high side" and we have a wooden deck the rest of the way around. See the pics of pool with deck in my other post: http://www.troublefreepool.com/ag-pool-to-backfill-or-not-t36682.html...

We did not backfill, we added retaining wall, 3/4" rock with a drainage hose on top around the high side. A beautiful deck my husband built. 4' wide all the way around and 12' between the house and pool. There is also a gate and handrails now. Thanks for all the input about the backfill. We...
