Hey all, been a pretty silent lurker for a long time. This year since I had not before and didn't close the pool properly last fall, decided to take some pictures of the transistion. Background: Purchased the house 5 years ago and it had an "in-ground" above ground pool. Found evidence...

Yes I was thinking you might not had the power cord on, but since you do you should be good to go once you hook up those hoses!

Re: HELP i'm in a complete mess and don't know which way to Good luck! Just remember, black wire to black wire, white to white, and green to green! :)

Re: HELP i'm in a complete mess and don't know which way to No I think you just need to loosen the screw on the big one (right) and slide the wire thru and re-tighten. The other is just the connection to the case of the motor.

Re: HELP i'm in a complete mess and don't know which way to Can you wrap the wire around that screw?

Re: HELP i'm in a complete mess and don't know which way to Woo-Hoo party time! Leebo is correct, it has a purple lid, but be careful and read it before purchasing to make sure it is stabilizer. I believe HTH uses the purple lid for more than just stabilizer, I think the PH Plus and PH Minus...

Re: HELP i'm in a complete mess and don't know which way to Yes, we're going to make you into a pool :thequeen: yet! My sand filter doesn't even have a screw, it has a handle that you can loosen/tighten by hand and a metal collar split into semi-circles so you can remove it. Then I just...

Re: HELP i'm in a complete mess and don't know which way to No doubt! It is the illegitimate offspring of an Aston Martin DB9 and a Hyundai Elantra. That will be MY next car :) With the turbo(s), AWD, and flappy paddles! I get excited just thinking about it!

That's funny. I have an 07 Fusion AWD and love it. That's 3 peeps in this thread I know there's more come on!

Re: HELP i'm in a complete mess and don't know which way to It's super easy, you just need to plug in the % chlorine (Sodium Hypochlorite Concentration), Container Size (in ounces), and how much it cost. (and of course what you bought and where you bought it). It will automagically calculate...

Re: HELP i'm in a complete mess and don't know which way to Is that price really correct? That's an insanely good deal! Usually it's around 3 jugs for ~ $9 like radefeld said.

Re: HELP i'm in a complete mess and don't know which way to Here's how psycho I am about my chlorine cost. I have charted every type of every store around here and have it organized by regular price and sale prices best deals to worst. I can't take the credit for this though, I stole it off...

Re: HELP i'm in a complete mess and don't know which way to Hey Niki, that was me that talked about the liquid chlorine. I have used every form of chlorine they make at one time or another. I used to buy the powdered HTH Shock & Super Shock, until this year and never again. It raised my CH...

Re: HELP i'm in a complete mess and don't know which way to You know they sell it by the 1/4 lb bottle on Amazon for $39.00. That would last you a while :) FYI, you're pulling farther ahead of me. I need to get cracking after work tonight. Plan is for all the studs to go up, cut out part of...

That's a rigged bet as you'll be done by the end of the week, but I never turn down a bet. But I can't write a poem. Winner just gets the satisfaction of knowing they've succeeded ;)

Re: HELP i'm in a complete mess and don't know which way to Keep it up Niki, you're on the home stretch, now that no gunk is hiding out on the bottom. I'll make u a deal. You stick this out, I'll stick out my latest and greatest (not really greatest, but you know what I mean) project. My...

I get sand on the bottom of the pool too. I am pretty sure my filter is shot though and is flushing sand out of the filter. My sand is white and very fine. I use the water tech catfish cordless vac to clean my pool and I have an old pair of my wife's nylons inside the sock to filter out this...

Yes those numbers are coming in line nicely as predicted. It won't be long now ;). I believe you should be seeing a major change very soon now that you got all that crud out. My big change happened overnight at about the same point that you are in your conversion. Yes I'm going to try a...

Re: HELP i'm in a complete mess and don't know which way to Niki's progress & color seem about right to me. I "forgot (aka too lazy) to cover the pool last year (and the year before) so I had all kinds of leaves and a few frogs this spring and it took me a good 8-10 days before my water was...

Re: HELP i'm in a complete mess and don't know which way to I can change the direction of my port. On the inside of my pool around the jet, it unscrews and I can change the angle fairly easily, I'm assuming yours is probably the same too. Then you can adjust the direction of the flow, just...

Re: HELP i'm in a complete mess and don't know which way to Here's what I would do, for what it's worth. I would let the filter run for a couple hours, then vacuum again. It sounds like you got a ton of nasty out already this morning, so I would vacuum just to filter, not waste and see how...

Re: HELP i'm in a complete mess and don't know which way to I'm bet you're right. I bet they are vacuuming a ton of stuff out of the pool!

Re: HELP i'm in a complete mess and don't know which way to Hey Niki, I just had a random thought or 2 pop into my head. How many trips in the past week have you made to the recycling center? I thought my guys gave me weird looks when I arrived with a trunkload of bleach bottles. You would...

Re: HELP i'm in a complete mess and don't know which way to I have no clue what this means. LOL. Leebo means that even at a CYA level of 20, shock level is 10. I was kind of wondering why too but I looked in "Convert your bacqua pool to cholorine" post and saw the recommended shock level...

Tried to search and didn't see anyone post this yet. If you have a local Ace Hardware these prices aren't too bad. Sale starts tomorrow, May 25th and goes thru the 28th. The flyer for my area has the blue HTH Shock (45% available chlorine) for $1.99/lb. (Much cheaper than Wal-Mart that...

Ok, so after a bit of research, I'm thinking I would like to find a mesh cover. But it will have to be one for an in-ground pool. The cement patio sits directly on top of the silo staves, and it's about 6" thick, so in is more like an in-ground pool. Then there is about 15 feet of deck boards...
