    Mold in the liner after being in storage

    I agree, and treated the stains on the walls of the liner before setting it up. I didn't word my post properly, I meant to ask what product would be best for mold -- in the end I've gone for undiluted vinegar and a stiff brush. This morning I'll hose down and mop everything off. It's going to...

    Mold in the liner after being in storage

    Hi friends! My husband packed up our pool as we were leaving for 6 weeks, and now I've started setting it back up. Unfortunately I think there was some moisture left as it was being folded, because some mold and staining has appeared. He reckons that shocking the pool will deal with it, but I...

    Calling all pool mishap detectives!

    Hi everyone, I awoke this morning to find our pool (14x8, 1900 gallons) had lost a considerable amount of water. We didn't get to use it yesterday so who knows when the loss started. The water level was down nearly under the return/outlets level on the pool. I rushed to it, turned off the...

    Help please! 😱 update: resolved

    Hi, We are filling up our AGP and it looks like it's caving in. It's our first time and we are panicking. I used thick pavers but I didn't bury them all the way. Is this normal? Should I drain all the water?

    Setting up for the first time and I'm losing confidence fast :,(

    I'm trying to set up my new 14x8 bestway pool and I'm feeling a little hopeless. I spent time leveling the yard as much as possible and thought it looked decent. I set down the gorilla pad, then got to work on setting the structure up. I've put pavers under each leg, which are a little thick...

    Getting all my gear together - am I forgetting something important?

    Gotcha, will do. I checked with our home inspector, he confirmed the wires at the end of the yard are not AC power lines!:whoot:

    Getting all my gear together - am I forgetting something important?

    Very good point! The yard does have a water outlet with a hose attached, a drain in the ground in the concrete section, and also a covered wall socket where I can plug two things. I've gotten a 50 foot hose and a good extension for the cables. Also! Thanks for your advice earlier- I did...

    Getting all my gear together - am I forgetting something important?

    We don't really know what the ones in the back are, it's a major problem in Brooklyn back yards. No one wants to be liable so even though they're mostly dead phone lines, we'll never know as no one will touch them. Unfortunately they are only about 12 feet above where the pool would be. However...

    That's right, cable and I have to double check but I think Spectrum.

    Thanks for the tip! I got the one that isn't "low splash" or lemon, this one: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Great-Value-Bleach-81-fl-oz/343228788 Would you think this one is suitable?

    Here are pictures of my 20 x 46 foot yard currently (the rugs are placed where I think the 14 x 8 pool will go), and of the pool I bought.

    Getting all my gear together - am I forgetting something important?

    Hi everyone! I am very new at this, so please excuse my lack of knowledge here :) I recently purchased a small AGP which I plan on setting up in my Brooklyn yard as soon as I receive all the bits and bobs. It would be packed up for the winter. This is my list, please feel free to weigh in /...

    Thank you! I plan on putting it away for the winter. As I'm reading I realise that oval is probably trickier than round, but I'm still hoping I'll get the hang of it and be able to set up /take down myself. Thanks for the links, @AK- !
