I have the same problem. Neww cover every year!! I have a lot of trees near my pool so I have leaves dropping all the time and then the cover starts sinking. I have tried the pillow- moves all over when putting cover on, thought about filling the pool with pillows, but when the water level is...

I can't get the build up off the side of the pool. I vacuum the bottom and looks great but the vacuum I have does not hit the curves of the side of the pool. I walk around and kick it off but it clings again. What can I do? Also I have a 33 ft pool amd hose is just a little short, can you...

Thanks I didn't know circulating made any difference. It will be tomorrow before i have it circulating for several hours. I will post then Thanks.

I was ill last year and didn't get the pool open. So it was drained and all leaves, debris is removed. I am now filling the pool, about 3/4 full, so shouldn't be much longer. I had the water tested today and here are the results. I want to use the BBB method. Pool info is in my signature...

So do I not put any chemicals in at all? Won't the algae just keep growing and getting worse.

I went away and came back to a green pool, and I am getting ready to close for the winter. What do I do about the green algae, will the winterizing chemicals take care of that, or do I need to pre treat before the winterizing. Also how much antifreeze do I put in. If I run the filter, am I...

I have sungrabber and I think it was 119 or so a panel. I have 3 for my size pool 18X33 ABG. Research the net and you might find them cheaper. I got mine at www.intheswim.com.

I use nylon knee high stockings, they work great and are much cheaper. I have been amazed of the little settiment that was getting into my filter, now it is stopped before it gets there. (I learned this on this great forum!!) I have a new filter and pump this year, so I was so happy to learn...

Well gone fishin I might be able to do that. I would like to see a pic too if you have one. The building party sounds nice but NJ is a long ways from Missouri!!

Well I am not a person who knows how to build things and my husband had a massive stroke, so he is not able to help out, so I was trying to find something that was easy and simple to do. The third "here" you had is the directions that came with the items I ordered from in the swim. I was...

I ordered from intheswim what I thought was something to put on the side of my pool to hang my solar panels. I got straps that you attach to the roof to put your panels, mine is not set up to put them on the roof. Does anyone have any suggestions how to put the panels on the side of the pool...

Just adding to raise. Thanks for your quick response. This site is the best!!!!!!

Do You dilute the borax and baking soda before you put it in the pool or just sprinkle it in. Do I do it near the intake and outlet?

I was just reading a forum and saw that someone said they had a pool cage so they don't have "things" in there pool. I have a lot of trees and I am curious as to what the pool cage is-- Mikmctx posted they had one.

Well pump is running and no problems or leaks, so I lucked out on that. I have had a busy week, but I plan to vacuum the pool today. Thanks for the advise of putting the hose at the return, makes sense for getting the air out of the hose, something simply that I wouldn't have thought of...

Thanks, I am filling it now, and will check it out before I start it. I sure hope it didn't hurt the pump and motor, they are brand new. I will try what you suggest when I vacuum next, which should be in the next day or so. THanks for all your help. I love this site.

I usually do not run my filter at night, but due to extensive rain, etc I had no choice. I woke this morning to the water below the skimmer, filter running and water everywhere. I found a hose popped off and that was the problem. Have I done damage to my filter and pump with it running dry...

Update, I got the tube I needed. I guess when I was there yesterday I just didn't know what I was talking about and today I took the leaky tube with me and they had it for $4, so it was an easy fix. I got it put on and so far so good!! It was just a flexible grey tube I needed.

Wow is that impressive. I would love something like that, but my husband had a massive stroke and I am dealing with this pool thing on my own. I wouldn't even know where to begin. My filter is under my deck and the solar panels are in the yard, so they about 20 feet away from the filter. It...

I am trying to connect some hose from my jet to my solar panels. But I need a hose about 4 to 5 ft that have female ends on both ends. I am connecting to two male hoses. I can't find anything that works. Any ideas out there? My SIL was at Lowes and thought he found a hose with no ends and...

hose to jet still leaking Well I posted it worked putting the aquarium silicone on the hose, well it didn't hold long. It is a slow drip when the filter is on, but the minute I put the Polaris turtle on it, it gushes out. I really need some advice on what to do. This is the second hose, so...

Well I fixed the problem, but thought I would pass it on to others how I did it. I put aquarium silicone on it and covered it heavy. It says to put it on a dry item, but that was impossible without draining some water out of the pool, so I just kept layering it on and let it set overnight and...

This is my second hose, I am using a vaccum hose that comes from my solar panel to return the warm water to the pool. It has a small steady leak, but when I went to use the Polaris pool cleaner today it came shooting out. I need about 25 foot hose and that is why I am using the vaccum hose...

Hayward Pump/Filter New- Backwash problem Thanks for your response. That is what the pool place said to, but be "clueless" on that, I decided to turn it to backwash for a few seconds and that did it. There must have just been some water in there that was coming out, but once I did a backwash...

I have finally got my pump and filter up and running, but when I turn it on filter, some backwash water comes out. I took the top off and checked the big O ring and it is in place. why would I have water coming out the back wash on FIlter mode

emptying AGP I just emptied my this weekend as there was no way to get it clean otherwise. It worked great, but it is an all day project with 5 of us doing it. It looks great now I have an 18x33. I did not see any thing with the liner while doing it. I also power washed it after scrubbing...

Wel thanks for the reply but I have no idea how to do anything you said. I just bought the new pump and it is the biggest I could get, it is a 21 inch tank with a 1 1/2 hsp motor. How do you prime panels or break an air lock

I installed a new pump and filter and added 3 solar panels. I have no water coming back into the pool. It is flowing out but none is coming in the input. I am so new at this pool thing, I do not know what to do. I have an 18X33 AGP, Hayaward 1.5 pump (which I stopped at the pool place today...
