May sound like a stupid question/thought, but I guess I could feel the side of the pool from the inside to see if it feels weak? Or is the liner going to absolutely have to come out before we get an idea on wall condition?

Hello all! Been a while since the last time I posted! Our liner is 13 years old and has lived out it's life. It has a few holes above the water line, and needless to say the sun has taken it's toll in regards to fading. So now we are thinking replace the liner? Replace the entire pool with...

Cool!

Nice!

He put shoes on the shoes! ::epds::

Awesome job! Thanks for the links. Later, Calvin.

Interesting...

Bring it on! We can have a giant pool party! Later, Calvin.

We don't have that problem here in SC. It is currently 99 outside (according to the computer). Our water temp is about 87. For everyone where summer is dragging it's heels to get there: I hope it gets there soon for you. Later, Calvin. :cheers:

We had that problem when we had an Intex pool. We put a couple of two inch stainless balls in a plastic container, filled the rest of the way with water, put the lid on, and tied the complete contraption onto the skimmer hose. I also second the opinion that the black tape around the hoses will...

Thanks again for all of the posts. I used the BBB method last summer and it worked great. I plan on using the BBB method for the rest of the time that I have a pool (which will probably be as long as we live in a warm climate). Thanks again for all of the support this site provides. Later...

Thanks for the quick reply Jason. Later, Calvin.

Hello everyone. I have just done my first test of the year on our pool. The pool has been looking good all winter and I pretty much did nothing from about November until now except keep things clean. My test results were as follows: FC=0 TC=0 CC=0 pH=7.6 TA=80 CYA=30 to 35 Local Leslies test...

Thanks guys. It is only supposed to be that cold for one day. After that a couple of more nights in the low 20's and then back to normal. Later, Calvin.

Hello all! It is getting ready to get cold here in sunny South Carolina. They are predicting a low of 9 degrees for Saturday morning. I am planning on insulating my pipes and skimmer. We have kept our AGP open all winter so far with the pump running 24/7 on low speed. Our current pool water...

Wow! That is going to be sweet! Later, calvin. :goodjob:

That is awesome! I love the concrete up to the pool deck like that. Later, Calvin.

Cool! Hate to pay for the batteries though. Later, Calvin.

I saw your electrical hookup when I scrolled over. Thanks for the details. Again, good job. Later, Calvin.

Nice job and cool pool! Did you run a seperate circuit for the electrical? Do you have any pictures of your electrical installation? Later, Calvin.

Waterbug, Thanks for the "ray of hope"! LoL! Later, Calvin.

We run our's 24/7-365. Might be wasteful, but we love the sparkling water. Later, Calvin.

My skimmer basket (Hydrotools Skimmer) is stuck (wont rotate so we can get it out). How can we unstick it without breaking it? Thanks, Calvin.

Our's is 83 right now. Just got done vacuuming. I love about 85 and my wife loves it 85 to 90. Later, Calvin.

Hello. Our pool is level and so is our skid pack area. We dug a french drain to let water run from the equipment area. We then covered the area with drainage rocks. It works well for us. Hope this helps. Later, Calvin.

Cool, Thanks! Later, Calvin.

Nice pool and landscaping! Landscaping is a pain in the butt! I don't mind doing it, I just don't have that type of creative talent. Again, it is very nice. Later, Calvin.

mdtngal, that is a cool pool! I love the electric palm tree! Later, Calvin.

Yes, we did the deck ourselves. We would like to expand the deck down the other side of the pool either this fall or next spring. We are thinking of just going out 42 inches from the side of the pool. I am even toying with the idea of making an outdoor bar (kind of Tiki like) down that side...

Thanks for all of the compliments. The sidewalk is just 12 inch square red and gray pavers from Lowes. The deck is just a standard eight foot x 12 foot frame with a cantilever system to extend it two feet past the end of the pool on one side and one foot past the end of the pool on the other...
