    Snow/Ice build-up on cover pushes the water out the hole!

    I have an above ground pool with a winter cover and pillow. Last year, I lowered the water to 4" below the input, but the issue was that as snow/ice accumulated on the cover, the weight would start pushing water out of the input hole. This wasn't really a problem until the Spring when the pool...

    Winterizing Pool Steps - Let them Freeze in?

    Well, my wife and I were successfully able to "lift and tip" the stairs onto the deck. It really wasn't as hard as I thought for 120lbs of sand, plus the stairs. The worst part was the 72 degree water! (I had my wet suite on though). Thanks for the advice everyone! Dave

The steps have sand-filled weights in the bottom that are screwed on. It would be a challenge to try to disassemble...

I just hung the liner's j-hook directly into the bead track. I didn't cut anything off because I didn't think I needed to. Did I do...

    Question about Bead Track and Unibead Liner

    I bought a unibead liner and also something called "Bead Track" that (I guess) is intended to convert an overlap pool into one that accepts a unibead liner. After installing the Bead Track, I saw that everywhere there is a gap, there would be potential for water to run down behind the liner...
