Hey all! We need new solar heaters for our 24' round pool and I'm having a terrible time getting an answer on the fafco bear panels. Does anyone know what we need to do to connect two panels together? The old ones we had were set upro do that but I can't find any info on how you do that with...

So we had some rust stains on the outside of our 1 year old matrix pool. The pool guy said he would come out and repair it and fix the leak issue around the skimmer and jets. I was home all day and didnt see them here. I went our back and this is how they fixed it. They sanded ut and painted...

Just got home from work. Been down pouring all day. Water level is about a half inch below the rim. If I pop off the skimmer cover it starts overflowing. Supposed to rain till tomorrow am. I turned off the filter for tonight. Do I need to go put the cover pump in now to drain some off or can I...

I wanted a salt water generator that we could manage separately without having to run the pool filter all the time, after quite a bit of research we went with the saltron Retro salt water generator. We have a 24 x 54 round Sharkline Matrix above ground pool. Upon opening the package we found...

Those with above ground pools and looking for an alternative to ladders or wood deck. We bought fiberglass steps designed for mobile homes and had life saver fence install the gate and side pieces to meet local pool code. Very happy with them and would recommend it as an option! Can't get...

So the filters running on the new matrix pool. Got the barracuda working one I need to empty the pump basket. How do I stop the water to open the pump basket lid? It's installed with hoses and no valves like our old intex had. I'm standing here like duh what am I missing! Any help for a...

So were getting crazy winds here in nj today and since the ice melted off the pool cover the wind was tearing the cover off. I unhooked it and drug it to the side and put blocks on so it doesn't blow away. The question is, we planned on opening it I'm two weeks anyway. Do I bother recovering...

So we put the new pool up in November and are trying to figure out an entry option. We're selling the vinylworks deck we had with the intex since the new pool is round. We picked up a set of majestic wedding steps off craigslist last month. They hubbs doesn't want a rail height deck because we...

I bought 2 of the multicolor lights that hang over the top rim of the pool under the seat and they don't fit our matrix pool. The plastic rail that holds the liner in place is too wide. What are other matrix owners using for their pools? I was trying to avoid anything that we have to cut the...

We received the missing upright today and went to put the last top seat on the pool and the rail is about an inch too short. Is there a trick we should know about or do we push the wall it until it fits? So frustrated!! :hammer:

Here's some photos from our pool build in Hamilton NJ over the weekend. Pool was purchased from poolsupplyworld.com and installed by S & S Pool Installers in Hammonton NJ. I would recommend both without a question. Pool was received with a couple of damaged parts and a missing upright, they...

If so I'd love to see some photos, we just ordered one and would love to see what it actually looks like installed!

So thanks to a successful vegas penny machine adventure I have enough winnings to upgrade our 9x18 intex to. 24' round hard sided pool. Unsure what pool to get. Definitely want. Salt water generator and a cartridge filter but struggling with the pool. Some say MUST be resin, some say as long...

So we were able to get one solar panel going. What a nightmare this is turning into. What is the type of hose called that does not have the hard plastic thing on the ends. Regular pool hoses have that and you can't clamp them onto the solar pipe. The only one I can find is the one that attaches...

Any thoughts on how to fix a broken block under one of the legs of the pool? that corner has dropped now and I'm worried that it's putting too much pressure on that corner of the liner. the other corner is filled to the bottom of the white band around the liner, the corner that dropped is to the...

Hey all, I've had 3 people ask me my thoughts on the vinyl freestanding deck that we got for our intex 9x18 pool so I thought I'd do a post related to that. Why I chose it: 1. Because it's freestanding and "not permanent" you do not need permits to set it up. That way, in case we decide to take...

So here's our 9x18 ultraframe. We purchased one of the resin decks and finally finished the landscaping. We "tried" to do it the right way and got permits, etc, etc. $1300 for electrical and bonding and we'll still never be able to get the final inspection done. Not happy. They are requiring...

So I finally talked the hubby into getting a pool. As a non-swimmer he has no interest. As a Pisces, I NEED a pool :) So I found a great deal on amazon for an ultraframe 9x18 for me for christmas for $399.00 brand new. I also bought the salt water generator, robot vacuum and the solar rings...
