Hi Folks. Anyone got a 12 x 24 pool that lives in Western Washington and uses a solar cover. If so may I please ask what your temperature has looked like this summer please? 8400 gallons.

I think so too. My friend is really prideful and sensitive. I am trying to get this point across but it is difficult. I think we needed about 10 times the amount of pex piping.

Hi All. This summer my friend and I constructed a solar system using pex pipe. At times the water has come out so hot you can barley keep your hands on it. However, it has not seemed to really improve the overall temperature. My thoughts are that it is not warming a large enough quantity of...

I think you probably have hit the nail on the head the weather has been pretty harsh. Thank you for writing and a warm hello back to you. : )

May I please ask do you have any ideas about the water being trapped up top just above the swing check? I cannot understand how it stayed up there the first two years and did not crack. The last winter was a doozy for freezing. I know the valve was open every year. But what allows that water to...

Yes this is the only return. My friend did the pipe work. He is a very interesting person. Extremely intelligent. I don't always understand what he does or why. Let me please explain how that ball valve works for us. If the ball is wide open not enough water or no water diverts through the T...

Hi Everyone! May I please get some feedback about my pipe design (the return portion)? It is has the T that forms a sprinkler. And the swing check valve down below the T. May I please ask does anyone see any design errors? This is my third season. This past winter I did not get the water out...

Thank you again. I did use shop vac. Funny you say that I was wondering while doing is there a better way? Totally empty now. And your pool set up is very professional. Your foundation boards look expensive. That is my only concern. And the material you said that has sand well if I can get it...

I can't get the photos I want to upload I really struggle with the photos on this forum. It is the post where the lady swims with her dog. Anyway, wondering if she did a good job so I could follow her idea. : )

10 4 on the advice. I will have to rake sand off to side use better material and then bring back no more than one inch of sand? Not sure what I was thinking. How about the idea of 10 people moving pool empty but with all the supports is that ok? Finally, did anyone see how this lady did her pool...

We set up pool two years ago. The level is off and the location is not great. We have never taken pool down it has sat 30% full of water during Winter. We just emptied pool and cleaned. I have been reading a lot about liners becoming unusable after this happens. Does anyone know if that applies...

Great question. I felt like it was not working. We had it up at the end of last season. I could never figure out what was happening. A good friend of mine did the install. The sad thing is he is having early signs of dementia. He shakes off and on. Why this is especially sad is that he was a...

Thanks Kim! I will do just that. : - )

Here is what I did to winterize. Actually I was unsure that I did this in the best way so anything I can learn about the process could be very helpful. First, I drained as much water as would leave the pool via a hose by gravity as our property is sloped. Right down to the pond. Then I opened...

Thank you Kim. I do have a kit but have not used it yet. I will look for it tomorrow. And ok about the unions and or would it be ok if I used an air compressor. The only place it cracked was the level low spots. I still don't get it as I don't there was much water in there all valves were open...

Ok so I went and checked out an old photo and I am very sorry that I made such a big mistake but it would appear that it is only 2-3 inches. You can see it in one of my photos on my google site. Sorry. I was way off and just to let you know we did not add that much sand because Intex gives a...

Thank you Yip! My neighbor built the barn. We like it too. One of the reasons I feel upset a perfect roof now it has holes and scuffed shingles. Can you tell I'm still in a negative mindset. : ) Thanks again.

Hi Kim! Thank you. I have added the details to my signature. In the past I have tried to upload photos and it was very difficult. I know how important it is to follow forum rules but I just don't have the patience to try the photo post again. Would you please consider viewing my photos on my...

Hello my name is Nick. Three years ago I embarked on the pool for my two kids. Today I noticed that three elbows and two pipes all cracked due to freezing. On top of this the solar panel system we put on the barn roof moves around due to temperature changes at night and is damaging the shingles...

Thank you for this response. I will try this. : )

It looks to me that one end is about 2 inches lower than the other end. Thank you.

Problems With Pool 3 Very Last picture again my apologies just wanted to make one post with three pictures but the process was almost has hard as the pool. Ha Ha. : - ) Respectfully. Have a nice day.

Figured out how to post pictures sort of. The process is very frustrating. Tells me to reduce I do then gives me a different result. I was just hoping to please get some design suggestions. Thank you. Have a nice day. Hello All. I have not read all the posting rules yet and want to ask a...
