I need some help selecting a mesh pool cover. We have an odd shaped pool similar to a figure eight. I want to get a rectangular shaped one and use rope or something like that to pull it taut. Hoping to keep leaves and pine straw out. I tried a tarp but it was a mess and ended up dumping a lot...

If an acid wash (with a pressure washer) would make an issue with the plaster, chances are it would be unusable any way. It is always diluted, after all a human is pressure washing it. No way of not getting splashed from it:rolleyes: OOPs sorry went to wrong post.

Mine is dome shaped and never has any air bubbles in it unless the water level has gotten too low (in the pool) or once when the gasket on the lid was shot and I replaced it.

Just wondering. Seems like the bio stuff I used to used when I had aquariums.

I am going with the paint option on the fiberglass part. The only blistering we had was at the waterline, so I am going to sand that down with an angle grinder and after it is painted 2 coats I am going with a stick on applique border hoping it will take some of the heat from the sun off of the...

Let me know what you find out. My walls are in pretty good shape. The coping is cracked, but we plan on tearing out the old deck at some point and using pavers so will solve that then. IF we can get this dinosaur in better shape.

Apparently it was a thing back in the day. I have one. circu somewhere in the 60's (home was built 1964,) not sure if pool was added later though. Just bought the house several years ago and did some work on it and was able to swim 3 years, now back at square one. Click on my previous posts to...

Just plain old power washing our deck was an amazing change. Is the white an attempt at patching cracks?

Hi dq7256! Great Job! Maybe I missed the total cost. I too inherited a hybrid pool. You should be able to click on my name and see the work we did on our pool. Ours was a moderately cheap fix. We bought new equipment and just this last year we added a SWG to it. The paint has lasted 3...

I too am worried about that. I currently only have one return and one jet (old pool in need of additional leak repairs.) Planning on vacuuming today. I have concrete bottom and fiberglass sides, my only worry being the hose might collapse. Should I be worried? Only have used my robot to...

Thanks guys. Hindsight, I should have vacuumed as soon as the pump started working before everything got stirred up.:rolleyes:

Plus not supposed to have robot in pool when SLAMMING.

So Tested the water at home with my little kit (Pool master 5 way test kit) and my 3 different bottles of test strips. And all looked good to me. CC has been holding the whole time my pump was out. Neighbor rolled his eyes at me and said he used to service pools, "let me know if you need help...

WE HAVE LIFTOFF!!! Woot Woot (as my daughter says!) Checked out the new plug I had installed and it seems I had tightened the screw down on the neutral so hard I had broke it off. Now hopefully after running a while it doesn't throw the breaker like the other one. I need a cold one, a...

Got everything hooked up, and the new pump does not turn on either. Even took the non working timer out of the equation too(worked with it hooked up to it before-just did not ever shut the pump off) by unhooking it and straight wiring to the pump wiring. I have power according to my power...

Thanks Dustmagnet. I should have realized that myself. Guess I am used to dealing with my AGP I had in Rock Hill. Cross your fingers, if this throws the gfci, then I have wiring issues.:( and I did all I could do with that when it first started.

That slide is awesome. My grandchildren would love it (me too!) Any idea where to get it and the cost? Beautiful pool!:)

IT'S HERE! IT'S HERE! Okay guys I need some help. I got my son-in-law to loosen the two fittings that go on the pump and I know how to wire it, including changing it to 110 (I think-saw that when I opened the back.) I just don't know about the water situation and what to shut off there to...

The people in this house "caulked (bath caulk)" around the pool light,LOL because of pool leaking . Turns out both returns (one was capped and still is) and the drain (according to pool guy.) We had the one repaired and do not use drain, only one return. Bought a special return jet (infusion...

I had a pool guy put the other one on last July, I can text him and see if he glued :shock: hopefully not! He was step dad to a friend of my daughters and installs "luxury" pools so this is his busy time and we are "small change to him." But he did help me out last year : )

:confused: I ordered a back up pump, and it is supposed to be here tomorrow. It is the same identical pump. Can I just disconnect wires and unscrew top and side and change out? (see my photos from previous post herehttp://s298.photobucket.com/user/neverclearone/library/ The two fittings...

Also as of now we only have one return and one skimmer. We plan on having work done on it hopefully this spring, to repair the other return (it is closed off, as I assume it was leaking like the one we had repaired. The drain also is closed off . Would like to have concrete jack hammered and...

Cowboycasey I don't have a GFCI Breaker (after looking at your link) just a GFCI outlet which the pump (and only the pump) uses. Also, did you install your Circupool SJ45? I have the same thing I purchased online and want to install it myself. Can you post pics so I can see how you have it...

No way, we relocated them to the river. Okay, neverclearone's Library | Photobucket How bout now?

Okay here are some pics. Anything in the wiring that looks hinky was not done by me. This house was a foeclosure we spent a year on the inside (weekends and a couple vacations) working on before we moved in. We didn't got to work on the pool until last year. Only had about 2 months use before...

18 views and nothin':( Thanks guys, for the love.:mad: Going to be fun when I try to put the SWG in :scratch: AAAAAnnnnyway, Pentair responded and had to send out via img receipt and install bill so they can send someone out. Meanwhile pool gets greener and greener. Back to square one I...

If you left it outside last winter, it may have seized. Try unplugging it FIRST, then take out screws on base. Lift off cover, spray WD-40 on metal parts. Wait a few minutes. Plug in. Hit start button without touching any metal parts (and not while standing on any wet surface.) If it comes...

Hi everyone! Just wondered if anyone could give me do some trouble shooting for my pump (days away from warranty expiring, if they count installation date : ( ) I have made sure all the connections are good. Replaced old gfci with a new one. Tried plugging in to a different (30 amp)...

Night before last I apparently had a frog concert going on that had been obviously posted on the "FREE FROGGY Concert-All Welcome" website. It was deafening! The next day me and my daughter sprinkled about 20 lbs of pool salt all around the perimeter of the pool and low and behold not a peep...

Almost there! Finally
