oookay then :LOL: Well, as far as tools, I have to believe I have or can craft them. I've got micro ratchet sets, drill chuck on the end of a 2 foot flex cord, and all sorts of weird tools I've acquired over the years. We have NG there for the pool heater, but would need 220 and that's...

One door closes another opens. Wife/I spent three hours today taking down our 18' above ground pool. I'm tempted to try a hot tub. We have a gas Raypak 200,000 BTU heater. Can't make use of that, correct? I had a very good grasp of pool chemistry, is hot tub any more difficult, or more...

Good idea with the liner. Thick pants....this isn't sounding like fun anymore

Good info. If I don't have the right tools in my garage, my wife will make me get rid of ALL of my tools. I always tell her, I keep them because I need them. I might even have a metal circular blade. Cordless makes this job a lot easier as well. Part of our decision is, what do we do with...

I've done crazier things...

We've had our 18' AGP for 12 years. Added a gas heater in 2017. Had wedding cakes steps, etc. We replaced the liner once. I think it's leaking in the same spot, a spot where, after clearing out some of the rocks, I now see rust. I think ants or something caused the ground to erode, so the...

Thanks. that could be the ticket.

Unintentional test: we went away for the weekend, so I vacuumed the pool, brought Chlorine up to 6, covered the pool with our black winter cover, and later turned off the filter before we left. It's been really hot! The only item I left in the pool was one large tube, to keep the cover...

Hmm. I'll check it, but it didn't feel sticky. It smeared more like motor grease. Not a lot of swimmers, but two daughters, so.... I think we're on the right trail here.

Was trying to load it. It doesn't appear green to me Thanks

My FC seems to hold over night, this keeps appearing in my skimmer. It forms a ring of black "dots". I tried smearing it on an envelope Any idea what it is?

Thanks. I have two or three solutions, have zeroed in on one and just need reducer. A local guy contracts with Leslie Pools. He's living my retirement dream. He's retired, a contractor for Leslie's, and his voicemail is full. People either don't want to work, or don't have the skill, so...

Thanks. I appreciate it. I was looking there a bit late last night. Your link was more directive, so I appreciate it. There are a couple fittings that might work, but I was hoping to find something local in PA. I have several options to repair this, but can't seem to find all the pieces for...

Home Depot has 2" PVC fitting, but they aren't the same thread. Eagle Pools has next to nothing. Leslie has a bit, but nothing that will screw on to the outside of the valve ports. I could use inside (male) as well, but that's tough to find as well. I'm replacing the valve and want to...

Thanks. The outgoing is actually 2” inside diameter, The OD is about 2.4". I really like the water flow since that 2" pipe was installed, but the 2" flex is nearly impossible to find locally, except for 25' lengths. I've thought about the rigid PVC and might go that route. It will stick...

I'll a post a picture from my phone in a minute or two. The valve cracked. Honestly, I think the guy who installed the plumbing for the heater cranked on the intall and weakened the threads of the valve. it took a few years, but here we are. Anyway, we have a party planned and I need to wrap...

OK. Thanks. I always look for added scent, fabric softener, etc. It doesn't list fabric protection specifically, so I should be fine. I did notice the performance of the 6%, before I actually noticed it on the label. Still a good deal. My biggest concern is opening the pool, then running...

mknauss, I was aware of the 6%, but not the additives. Should I sell this stuff off? what risks do I have with the additives?

Ugh. I can't get it delivered to my zip code. 3 weeks ago, I sent my teens to Walmart to pick up as much Great Value Bleach as they could carry, partly to prepare for this, but I normally buy a dozen at the start of the season. Folks must have thought they were crazy, walking out with 15 jugs...

Roger that!

Are you guys sure you're using what smenzel posted, or are you using this? Or, are they the same, with different packaging? This box has a pool ball on it HDX 1 Gal. Pool-Care Chlorinating Liquid (2-Pack)...

Not sure what I got, but I hooked it up and we’re good to go! I couldn’t find the Dynamo with the twist plug. I’m ok with swapping the cords, but even that Dynamo was $245 and 5 days to get here. I coulda muddled through, but I kept looking. I did find the twisted plug version, but it was...

Hmm...the Pentair 347992 OptiFlo Vertical is a 2 speed, 115V, standard plug pump. That could be interesting.

Thanks. Any thoughts on a 115v model?

Thanks. I swear, I've had my finger on the Amazon Place your Order button for eh Dynamo. I just can't see that I'll benefit from the other options to offset their cost.
