    Automatic vacuum for above ground pool.

    I use the manual suction vac that came with my pool. The only hassle is hooking it to the skimmer. I am think of plumbing in an open "T" with a ball valve near the skimmer, and just use the open end as my port. Maybe try that this weekend. But the manual vac takes me about 20-30 min to do...

    My $20 fountain

    Posted last year a few times during our build. Then forgot my login and had to create new account. Need to add my info but we have 18x33 saltwater. Here is my latest addition- a custom fountain!. Just added an extra line to the return and control it via ball valves, so we can adjust the...
