With temps in the mid 80's this week we decided to open the pool early this year so we took the cover off last night and hooked everything up. I tested the water and found my TC was still high from closing, PH was low, ALK was a little low and CYA was good. I took a sample to the pool store to...

I have a 30' round AG and I am looking to add some poles from a reel tube kit to lengthen a 21' reel someone gave me so I can accommodate a 30' solar cover. Has anyone ever tried this? At first I thought that the more tubes and connections points I had would mean less stability, but after...

My pool was installed in the middle of July and I added everything pool math told me upon initial fill. All of my levels have remained in just about perfect levels ever since then EXCEPT my CYA has ALWAYS been super low (20.) I know everything needs to be in balance before I close the pool for...

I've searched and searched but I can't find the answer to visualize how to plug the return line if I'm using a skimmer cover and not draining any water from my pool when I'm closing it. I understand they make plugs for the line, but how would I get the eye out and the plug in when it's underwater?

I'm hoping someone can help me with a few questions. We just finished filling our brand new pool (22k AG SWG) 6 days ago and at the time my TF100 test kit hadn't arrived yet so I let the pool store test my chemicals. (I know, I know, but I had to start somewhere.) Anyway, of course my levels...

I searched the forum and found tons of info on the wedding cake steps, but one thing I didn't see was regarding the suction cups at the bottom. I wanted to get a step pad to go under the steps to protect the liner, but all the pictures I see have the steps sitting directly on the pad without the...

We just finished filling our 22k gallon 30' round above ground saltwater pool last night and turned on the pump and SWG last night. I went to the pool store for pool school. They wanted us to buy all kinds of chemicals to get started, of course, but I knew I didn't have to use all that so I...

We are looking at liner pads to put under our new 30' round pool to be installed next month. I'm kind of leaning towards the Rhino pad, but have seen pros and cons of it along with the Armor Shield, Gorilla, Liner Life, etc. Anyone have any experience with the Rhino pad? It says to lay this down...

The pool I have on order is only one of two that my local pool company sells that specifically says can be used with a saltwater system. It has a 2" all resin track so I trust that part, but the top seat is technically steel although it's undercoated with copper-guard and coated with plastisol...

We just reserved our pool which will be here at the end of the month. It's a 30' round and we had the option of the FROG mineral system or SWG. Our salesman said they highly discouraged the SWG even though our steel wall pool says it's rated for it, just because the salt will EVENTUALLY corrode...
