    Coping Repair Help-now that I found the right thread.

    Ok awesome....I will do concrete patch. I am tempted to try and bed the coping into the wet patch, but the rest are not installed that way....so I think I will do the below. Then when it dries I will "glue" the coping ONLY to the concrete collar. As you can tell the original builder glued...

    NE OH - DIY Pool Build

    Remember, if you don't want Salt Water or a Salt Water Generator, the other option is a Chlorine Injection Pump, aka Stenner Pump....nearly as automatic as a SWG.

    Cheapest I've ever seen solar cover - $44.45 for a 16'x32' 12mil sheet

    Yup just picked one up....great deal. I always used clear and I wonder if blue will heat as much when the cover is on, but I normally take it over to heat anyways, and keep it on at night. Thanks for the tip to the link!
