Will do. Thanks!

Ok. Let me start with chemistry. Taylor K2006 tests PH - 7.6 CC - 0 FC -26 TA - 90 CYA -50 Pool water looks dirty. Its clear... but dingy. Pool is still covered. I hooked everything back up last week and got it circulating. As im sure you are all aware, temps in the south (im in Oklahoma...

Yeah. It is aimed away the skimmer is upstream of it. In the past I've had more powerful pumps that would whirlpool a pool like this so I didn't think a lot about it when I put the skimmer in where it's at plus I put it basically where the OEM skimmers were. Maybe instead of a second skimmer...

So we bought a 18-ft x 42 Bestway pool from Sam's which we are loving. automatically of course I scrapped the crappy pump that came with it and ponied up another $160 for a better sand filter / pump combo going with the 2400 gph xtremepower 3/4 hp with 26 inch sandfilter. I also blocked off...

Got it. Thank you!

Thank you Sir. Ill up it to 60 and see what that does.

6500 gallon intex. Sandfilter. FC - 3 goal is 7 CC -0 CYA- 50 TA 60 PH 7.2 Water crystal clear and feels great. I use TFPM and goals Overall very happy with the chemistry in my pool other than the ph keeps staying at 7.2 despite many times ive used borax to bring it to 7.5. Possibly due to...

Normally do the TFP method with 10% bleach added daily. But we are going out of town for 4 days and i dont want to come home to a lost pool. My thoughts were - 1. Full tests right before we go - make sure everything is good before we go. 2. Bring it to shock level. Thatll cost me a $5...

Ill never have in pool steps again. EVER. Reasons: 1. Every year you got to take them out to winterize, especially if pool freezes. They are a royal pain to take out because of the weight. It takes two or three people to get them out depending on the size of the ones that you...

Thank you sir!

I just did my power steel pool. I used chair leg bumpers from hardware store to seal off original ports. I pvc glued and clamped them. No leaks. Hayward return fit oem hole perfect. Skimmer install same as 3 other intex pools ive done. Hope this helps you.

Been out of the pool game for a few years I'm getting back in. on the TA test when it goes from green to clear and then slightly pink is that where we count it or is it where it goes full red? How red should it get for measurement? I forget. Thank you

Ive never had luck with CYA in socks. I just measure and fling it across the pool bottom. Gone in a few days.... or 30 minutes if the kids play... lol

The best way pool has two of these located I think about 2 to 3 foot off the bottom of the liner I haven't unrolled my liner yet. I'm still in the planning phase on this as I'm waiting for some dirt to be hauled into level the area. so 2 quarter sized holes that you will need to patch unless...

Moved from here. Hey. Im here looking for same information. I have an 18x48 Bestway pool I'm putting up and I've already bought the Hayward skimmer. I've done this twice before on the Intex version of the pools and I imagine the skimmer itself is going to be no different on the install what...

Not quite that yellow but it's yellow. High bromine huh? I don't get that is I'm using tablets it's only been 4 days... The heck with bromine. I'm draining and going back to bleach

So I have a coleman/ bestaway 2-4 person spa it's 200 gallon. Fill from well 4 days ago Running bromine and I've never done bromine before so that's probly on of my issues. I started out with a packet of leslies bromine cloride and put 4 pucks in jet despenser I have read the pool school on...

Kafco steel pool with Latham Ultra seam liner

I will have him do the dummy cell. Great idea! im sure he will do it no issue. He said he would do a SWG, he just doesnt recommend them. on #7, why are you against vermiculite? I thought that was pretty standard. - - - Updated - - - most likely true, as are the ones who talk down the...

trucking the dirt? No. Not needed. Yard is sloped a bit... about 2 feet slope over 20 feet. Not too bad. he will be using most of the dirt to put on the slope side of the pool as I do not want a retaining wall. The remainder, if any, he will dump on my gun range berm on property. It could...

dang... that stinks. what I would do: 1. Call utility companies 2. Be the nicest, sweetist booty kissing person you can be (dont be ashamed, its how the world works, you get more flies with honey, its a game learn to play it and you would be surprised at what you can get done) I once got...

So, my PB, who im liking, as he seems down to earth and straightforwad, despises SWGs as he claims they are horrid on the pools and equipment, comparing it to road salt on cars. I told him about the TFP method, and thst ive used it for 6 years no with no issues. He replied that using bleach is...

Im out in the country. I plan on going with a tropical theme. Im going to plant some banana trees, needle palms and other tropical like vegetation that is oklahoma friendly. I cant afford to vacation in the tropics every year with my 8 kids....so im going to bring the tropics here. ;)

Thanks! Yes padding on top of steel step kit before liner. I also liked that PB said the liner would be a bit thicker there and very slightly ribbed on the steps so they arent slippery. Good idea about the gcfi outlets! Ill do that. Im going to run some conduit myself to the landscaping for...

Awesome. Thanks!

We are planning a new build. 18x42 inground vinyl 3.5' to 7' deep. We would love a faux rock waterfall in the deep end but due to current budget, its something we would have to add later, and in fact, something I believe that I could do myself as most of these faux waterfalls come in kits and...
