You can also get Mini Kegs of Coors light, and it fits in the beertender. Best addition to my backyard in ages!

Pretty sure I have a leak then, but where would the water go? It isn't coming out under the sides or anything......hmmmm. OH well, if it makes it till the end of the summer then I am happy.

Mine hit 93 today, so I turned on the sprayer thingy and it dropped a little...still feesl like bathwater.

I have an intex pool, so essentially the pool is the liner. I am not sure if I am losing water from a leak or evaporation, but it is dropping fast! How much water loss is no longer considered evaporation? I live in Se Texas, and it is in the humid upper 90's here. I am not noticing any water...

I have an intex, it is almost 5 years old and I have never taken it down for the winter. I just pop the cover on, drain the sand filter, and let it go.

My sand is "channeled" in my filter, according to Hayward....how do I fix it. The guy who came out says is will be $$ but I am thinking that replacing the sand, or even swishing it around will fix it. Am I right?

As a fellow Intex pool owner i strongly ( very strongly ) suggest upgrading the filter size. Mine came with the B filters( for a 14K gallon pool). The filters cannot possibly keep up with the flow, and they really don't catch alot of algae. I added a hayward sand filter/pump, and my life got...

I do it, I add about 1/4 to 1/3 cup to my filter and it does wonderfully. I actually raises it about 3 psi, but that's not alot. When I backwash I add 1/4 to 1/3 again, until the psi goes back up. It filters better, it filters out algae etc faster, and is just all around better.

Are you sure it isn't just "dead" algae? when I have dead algae it always does that puffy cloud thing./ Vacuuming very very slowly usually takes care of the problem. The granular chlorine from walmart has CYA in it, it is the same as Trichlor. Be careful with it, or you will end up draining...

Do they work well, and is there a best one to have? I have a suction side cleaner right now, but I was thinking one of these would be good for quick cleaning and leaf grabbing.

I found a fair size water moccassin this morning....I have no idea how he got in there, but I got him out....he won't be back.

Nope, Squirrels cannot swim, not even a little. If I found a mouse I would probably take down the pool....ICK.

I hung a sock of it in the skimmer, but my skimmer hangs on the edge of the pool and some got on the liner, and probably sat there until it dissolved.

How badly can CYA damage a vinyl liner if it is accidently spilled out of the sock, and allowed to sit for who knows how long? I have a bit of a rough spot on the bottom of the pool, and it is bleached, BUT I don't know if it because of the CYA, or a trichlor puck one of the kids tossed in...

Thanks, if adding more sand doesn't help I am gonna try that.......although vacuuming to waste is almost impossible( pool collapses after 6 inches gone)

Thanks, I definetely need sand then, it is only about 1/3 full. If there is a mark I can't see it, but I will look again. I really want to get all the "kinks" out of the filter before my new pool is finished,...although that may be a while at this rate.

something to do with inbreeding I am guessing?

I had a recent issue with the Spider gasket, that's fixed now. I know it was blowing sand into the pool, and when I drained the pool there was quite a bit scooped out. SO, I think I need sand, and that is why my filter is not "filtering" as well as it should. The book says 225 lbs of sand, but I...

no, algae killing is not easy. It took e about 4 days, and unknown amounts of bleach, monitoring the FC, and TC every 30 minutes or so, backwashing, backwashing, backwashing and more backwashing. I decided to wait and see if the filter bags/pump do it quick enough, too cold to swim now anyway...

I am holding overnight, and actually not losing alot during the day, 1.5 PPM max during the day, and holding overnight. I did recently clean, but it is very much dead algae, it could not possibly have survived being at shock level for 4 days, could it? I think I mightl use clarifier, although...

Which should I use to help get out the cloudiness? I have clean cloudy water now, and I really really want to swim! Suggestions?

It is under warranty, but I frankly don't think the store has a clue. Their servicemen are idiots. I don't have a PB since we self installed.......it's only the pump/filter that is under warranty.

Thanks alot, myself and my credit card will be visiting soon!

Does anyone know where i can buy a spider gasket for a Hayward model # SP0714T filter? I cannot seem to find one online anywhere, and I am guessing that is why the pool guy siliconed it..........I have a HUGE mess, and a gob of silicone to clean out....

i did get it cleaned, no more Tp looking stuff. It is almost crystal clear now,...thanks!

OK, My pump/filter are still under warranty( less than a year old), and I have a bad spider gasket. I went in to buy one, and they said "OH, you are under warranty, it is covered so we will come change it". I was like, fine, whatever. SO, I was not home when the guy came to fix it, he told dh...

My pool is filthy still, and I am in the process of attacking it, but I have noticed somwething funky. Some sort of Algae(?) that almost looks like shredded Toilet paper.....floating around here and there. Could it be algae? Hopefully it will filter out. ( please tell me bleach will kill it and...

Ok, My pool has not been touched in several months, looks like the black lagoon, and I think there are creatures! My chemical levels are all pretty much 0, and I am debating on whether to start the pump/filter with a zillion gallons of bleach, OR drain it and start over. It does have leaves...

I live in Southeast Texas, average winter temp is 50 ish. We rarely get freezing weather, but it does happen from time to time. I think I am going to leave it up, like I dfid last winter and see what happens. Thanks!!

I have found myself with absolutely no time to deal with my pool, and noone is swimming in it anyway. So I have 2 choices, leave it and deal with it in the spring( ICK) or drain it. It is an INtex AG oval pool, the one with the ring. I am wondering if I drain it and just let it sit will it crack...
