A storm is what caused this issue, I usually try to keep metal sheds out of my pool. Whats weird is it was fine all summer and fall and this all started about 2 weeks ago. I'm going to have to get the cover off soon or it's going to start to strain the walls. I always use a cover for a 21...

No pump on the cover and the cover is brand new, losing about 2" a day. I'm guessing it will be empty within 10 days. This weekend i am pulling the cover off and grabbing the fishing waders to see if i can find a leak, has to be a pretty big hole to lose water this fast. If i leave it empty...

I'm in Pittsburgh. Already have some ice forming on the water on the cover, should be melted tomorrow. I am worried about the walls collapsing or ice forming and water leaking under it and a giant ice cube dropping. I'm hoping once everything freezes it stops. I am not monitoring the depth...

So i am losing water after i covered my pool for the winter. Back in a june we had a massive storm and i ended up with my neighbors shed in my pool. I drained everything, removed the shed and refilled. Didn't lose anything all summer or early fall. Cover has been on just under a month and...

Well I can't argue if everyone likes the white. I'll get used to it. I was just prepared for the same color and finish as the posts. I don't think the kids are going to care once they are swimming. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Long story short the pool store where i bought it are a bunch of aholes. 1st batch of rails were bent and scratched, then they said that pool was a closeout and i have no options. Looking for opinions on how the white rails look on it. I'm not a fan of it, wife said just finish the pool. I...

Didnt even need the crushed stone. Out of 12 pavers only 3 werent level. Worst I had was a 1/4" off Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Should the paver be leveled by dirt or is pea gravel safe to use? Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

building an 18'x54" and getting the ground ready, all i can find at Lowes and a local hardware store is a 2x8x16. Is that too big for the post?

For an 18' round padding is only 50 bucks, truck will be on it way with gravel and river rock for around the pool. coming from an intex i know all too well about what water flowing over the skimmer can do. Luckily my ground is mainly sand and drains quickley. The area under my skimmer will be...

Amazon has blue wave and gladon cove. Both listings have literally the same pics up. Does anyone know if it's the same stuff? Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

I am wondering the same thing. my buddy has it in his and the walls are much softer. Personal preference maybe Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

i will email them tomorrow and find out. The coves on amazon say they have a height anywhere from 2" to 4" is that about standard? on a 54" pool that leaves my top 2" unpadded with a 48" wall padding which will be under the top rail and not have water against it anyways

I just put a down payment on an 18'x54". The pool store sells all the padding for walls floor and cove...so does amazon for allot less. Are there any differences between brands for the cove? Store wants over $130 and amazon is less then half Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

After 4 years the poles on my Intex were starting to look like an old Datsun, i took it down in the fall and had a few spots that had completely rusted through. I am looking for opinions on this pool, the price is right as long as it's not total junk...

Makes me happy that its nothing to worry about. Still going to take it apart and clean it since I didnt do it when I bought it Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

I bought a Hayward EC40 from craiglist a few months ago, the pool looks amazing from it. Whenever i bump it i get about 5 seconds of cloudy water back into the pool. I am going to take it apart this weekend, what should i look for that could be the cause of this?

Neighbors pool 76. Mine 83. Just 1 panel. Think I'm going to add another

Awesome. Thats what I needed to know

Im gonna have to order the valve. Unless a sump pump is a flapper. The local pool store was worthless when I stopped. How does the vacuum release mount? Just drilled into the pvc?

Quick question in the check valves. Would one for a sump pump work? Only thing I can find at lowes are the spring valves. Also how and where does the vacuum release go? Pics would be awesome

Just got done putting mine in. The 1hp pump is more then enough for my setup even with the 30ft runs and over 10ft in elevation. And now the sun just went away.

Its a power flo lx model sp1510z1xbc

Are the check valves and vacuum release valves available at lowes? So just a valve to open the side to the heater and 1 to close it from going to the pool is all I need? Any advice how to secure it to the roof? I was going to lay thin pieces of wood across it every few ft and screw to the...

And more questions. Do I need a shut off valve on the return feed? Should the panel be empty or have water in it when not in use?

Very helpful info. Thank you. What about using 90° elbows? Use them or just use flexible pool hose when I come off the fence? The pipe will be at the top of the fence so I either 90 it down to the ground or let pool hose hang
