Thanks so much!!! I'm going to try the flat head to start. I called Leslie's and they have the plug for $4. I'll head up in the AM and get a new plug. Never would have thought to heat up the flat head and see if I could get it to slide in that way. I knew I could find the answer here -...

So we decided to open the pool ourselves this year to save a little money. All was going fine ... got the plugs back in, drained out the anti-freeze, got the pump going, and got the heater going. All was good until we decided to tighten the plugs. One of the drain plugs on the pump broke at...

Ok, the ladder is out and so is the railing by the shallow end. I did take a rather unconventional approach though .... So I started by checking out the treads with full intention of taking them off. Then I realized getting the bottom tred out was not going to happen without me getting into...

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I will give it a shot tomorrow - it's too late and too cold right now although now you have me thinking about it and I have become a little obsessed at this point ... no no, too cold too late ... :rant: You better believe I'm gonna greese that sucker up...

Help ... I fight with it every year. We have an inground salt pool and we are closing this weekend. I can't get the ladder out of the deep end - nor the one by the stairs in the shallow, but the deep end is bothering me more right now! :? I saw that someone used wheel bering greese and...

Thanks! That was the answer I was hoping for! :-D It is supposed to warm up this weekend and I'm hoping we can swim by Monday! I will keep an eye on the CC level and hope for the best. I will be sure to take the cover off and let it breathe. Thanks for the tip!

Hello! I have a question about how a solar cover impacts your FC level. We have a 20x40 IG liner pool with a SWG. It's approx. 33,000 gallons. I just went through clearing some iron stains with vit. C and added some Metal Free - we top off the pool with well water. Before doing all of...

I have a CYA level of 35 and I shocked up to 20. I believe that's above the recommended shock level. I added the bleach in the early evening and checked my numbers in the AM and they held overnight. Pool was clear. That was Monday. I had turned off the SWG when I added the bleach. By Sat...

Thanks again! We have had a whole bunch of rain today and there is a layer of yellow pollen coating the solar cover and everything around. I peeled back the cover and the water looks pretty clear. I could see the bottom pattern pretty well. I couldn't get the cover back enough to get a good...

Thanks for the replies! Considering how many times the little ones got out to pee and drag pool water through my house, I can't imagine they were adding anything to my water! :-D Everything is blooming here in the Northeast so the pollen could definitely be a factor - Hadn't thought of...

Hi, A question I hope someone may help me with ... First I have a 20x40 IV pool. Aqua-rite SWG and Hayward DE filter. Last weekend we had a bunch of kids swimming in the pool and by Monday afternoon when everyone finally went home I noticed that it looked a little cloudy. I up the output...
