Hint taken :lol: This should give you an idea what it would look like stained grey. Though I have to admit, I prefer the stone look. Would you have to go with full stones, or maybe you could use a stone veneer over the wood?

I copied a couple pics and started playing before I saw page 2 and meatloaf's photoshop redos. :roll: Here's what I came up with in Paintshop :wink:

I saw the Pooldevil advertised on tv, did a :google: search and found 1 on Amazon. I got the Pooldevil and 4 replacement socks for less than $15 :goodjob: So far its doing its job, although even with 3 adapters included, none of them fit my setup, so I had to adjust and make my own adapter...

*Ascorbic Treatment to rid Pool of Metal Stains* :)

The skimmer actually works quite well, surprised me.. :shock: If you use the short flex hose that comes with it, then it sits basically right above the intake line to the pump. The way my pool sits in relation to the wind though, most of the debris is blown away from the skimmer, so I use a...

Hi :wave: I have an 18'x48" SandNSun from Wally World. It orginally came with an 800GPH pump/filter, but I upgraded to the 1500GPH. It was the only one available locally and I needed one right away cuz the other one bit the dust :angel: I also have an over the wall skimmer. I agree about...

Thanks swimgirl, I thought it was kinda cool myself, for a quick DIY :-D Thank you Jason, I was worried about scaling and cloudy water. When I let the pH get up to 7.8 it seems as though the water gets slightly cloudy. Everyone else says the water looks real clear, but I can see a difference...

I have a few questions regarding high CH and TA. I have an 18’ x 48” easy set vinyl. I fill my pool with well water, which is high in both CH-640 and TA-500. My current test readings are: FC 4 CC 0 TC 4 PH 7.2 (I am working on my TA and aerating) TA 310 CH 640 CYA 30 I use 6% bleach as my...

I’ve been lurking for quite awhile and decided an introduction and a big “Thank You” was long past due. :wave: Although I’ve lived in Texas for over 30 years, I was born and raised in Minnesota and have always loved the water. Swimming, fishing, canoeing, skiing…. Yep, I’m a...
