Ok, dumb question. What is the best way to put a winter cover on a half buried above ground pool. The cover we have says it is ok to let the rain water collect on it. I have visions of watching my walls cave in. :p

Thank you ! I hadn't thought to try a local pool store. :D

We bought a above ground pool with a J bead liner that has 54 inch walls. I am not sure of the brand but , it was sold by Oasis pools in NC and is the Aurora model.:whoot: It is soooo nice, like new and we gave $600 for it. :whoot: It is made totally of stainless steel and resin. I have two...

Thank you for your help. I have never heard of that.

Thank you for all the help everyone. I have another small question if you don't mind. A local pool guy said I could add some kind of hybrid stuff in place of the sand in a sand filter. Anyone have any idea what that is and would that be a good idea for this pool ? I didn't pay attention at the...

I learned a ton from our last pool a used 24 ft buried . Mainly when buying used get a newish one. :p This time we planned to buy new until someone offered us their one year old 24 ft pool for $300. It was bought a year ago . The walls and etc look new. There are no dings or rust of any kind...

Thank you so much for the help. :)

I am putting up a new 24 ft round above ground. I am looking for a 2 speed pump and cartridge system. I don't want a sand filter. I am comfortable with cartridge as a personal preference. The pool guy tried to sell me a 1 1/2 HP single speed pump with a 90 sq feet filter. Now tell me what do I...

We haven't ordered our test kit yet. It was just filled. The pool store tested it . They are who said we needed 12 lbs of shock. It is 12,000 gallons. The free chlorine is 0. Total chlorine 0. PH 8.8 total alkalinity 125 total hardness 46 . They had us add 3.25 lbs of Lo N SLO and bottle of...

We tested our pool and it needs 12 lbs of shock it. We filled it with creek water. How much bleach do I use instead ? I'm new at this. TIA !!!

Looks awesome !!!

We keep waiting to put our liner in due to the weather. The water is coming same day. Here's the problem it says it needs to be 80. It's been around 76 -79 all week. Could we open it inside to get it warm and then install it ? Anyone got any other ideas ?

Love it ! We bought the same liner !

Awesome !!!!

Sorry it took me so long to reply my laptop died.That is awesome ! I'd love to see more pics !

I just wanted to say welcome ! :wave:

I love your outdoor kitchens ! However it's not in the budget for us. I would like to spice up my hubby's stainless grill. I plan to start with a paver patio. Then,I thought about buying the pavers you make retaining walls out of. Then, make two curved walls where the grill would slide in the...

Welcome !!! :)

Don't listein to the pool store dude. We started with a 15 ft intex and I LOVED that thing. We bought a walmart cheap solar cover. It was always warm at night ! :whoot: I'd still be swimming in it if all 9 of us would fit. 8-) After that we had a above ground oval nightmare. It was a rental...

I meant a single pattern all over the liner. :-D The one i'm looking at looks like blue river rock all over.

Can anyone tell me why most AGP liners are not a solid print ? I'm in love with Liner world's Stoney creek 3D liner. I'm afraid it might be too busy and I know nothing of the company. Help anyone ?

They don't crack when left directly outside. I have a few rolls stored in my yard. Mainly b/c they are heavy to move and i'm lazy. :oops: We put some under our intex a few years ago.

Here goes a weird question. Could you use wrestling mat under the pool instead of foam board. We use to run a martial arts school and I have a ton of the tan foam mats. I think they are 1 1/2 inches thick. We duct tape them together at the seams to make bigger surfaces lke foam board. It's a...

Frenchie did ! His pool is put in ground but, I have waterfall envy. :mrgreen: It's on his site http://www.myswimmingpool.webs.com/ Maybe, we can con him into pics and detals.

We started digging and the high side will be about a foot above the ground. Main reason we hit serious rocks. :grrrr: I'd love to see your patio meeks. I'm having a hard time picturing our patio now that it didn't work out as planned. :hammer:

I haven't bought one yet. I was trying to figure out how high the power bill might be. I was curious if it would be worth the power hike. Thank you for all your help. I am new at the pool & hot tub thing. :-D I don't plan to heat my pool once it's up. Later on we want a solar dome and some...

Sorry that is suppose to be 8 cents.

We are on a coop but, it averages around $8.
