I was hoping to get some insight into a problem I have in my yard. I have a pretty bad vole infestation that I've been fighting with traps, which has been not too successful thusfar. Neighbors on either side of me have dogs, which I think have lead to a population increase in my yard. I have...

Three4rd, did you end up going with the merlin? We decided to go with a new cover this year, and also have a meyco and are also interested in the Merlin smart mesh. I was curious if/where you purchased and if you had any issues with straps lining up with the anchors.

Thank you for all the feedback. Just a quick update: I had two more quotes on fences, one for a standard aluminum fence and one for a different mesh fence brand. The standard aluminum was $4100, sight unseen. The guy wouldn't even come out, he just asked me linear footage and how many gates...

Thanks for everyone's input. I wanted to have the pool enclosed so that we could have little ones outside and not have to play toddler goalie. So my quote for the mesh fence which gave me just about enough room to walk around on the inside the fence to vacuum was about 125 feet (my pool is...

Morning all, I had a quick question on child safety fences. I had guardian come out and give me a price to fence in my IG liner pool. I have a fence around my yard, but I also have a 2yr old and need something to isolate the pool. I did a little research and it seemed like guardian was a...

Where should my water level have been? The folks that came out to blow out my lines said 4in below skimmer.

So, this is my first year in this house, and the pool has a mesh safety cover. When I opened in the spring, it took me a week and a half and at least a dozen bags of shock to clear my pool. I plan on switching to a solid cover, especially since this cover is old and has some holes in it, but...

All eyeballs are 3/4". As far as I can tell, all underground piping is 1-3/4" and above ground piping 2-1/4". Yes i was running with the skimmer/drain valve at about 80% skimmer because otherwise i didn't seem to be getting the flow into the skimmer basket i thought I should. That said, I...

Actually with the discharge on top I can remove the motor without breaking any plumbing.

I haven't checked the impeller other than sticking a finger down in there, but it's tight and hard to tell if anything is in there. I seem to be able to spin it somewhat freely. I suppose I could just take the pump apart, I have unions on either side. I'll double check the eyeballs as well.

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe all of the eyeballs I have in are 3/4". For most of the beginning of the season, I had been running at 14-15psi (which is the "clean" mark on my filter gauge) with the valve set halfway between the steps and the wall. Now for some reason i've dropped to...

Dave, Attached is a diagram of the layout of the pool, the above pic shows how it is physically arranged. Don't worry, i was not running with the valves set that way 8-) So, I was thinking maybe there was a blockage as well, but of course being the longest run it may be difficult to clear...

Thanks, I'll give that a try. Im not so concerned about the filter pressure reading lower than it had before, but I'm still not sure why I see such a drastic change in pressure based on how the discharge diverter valve is positioned. Both lines are the same size, its almost like there is a...

Hello, I am new to the forum, but have already learned so much. I would just like to thank everyone for all the help I have already received just from reading through other people's issues. I am new to pools; as many others, I became a pool owner and a home owner at the same time. Please...
