We've had a summer similar to last year... Not real good, haven't been in the pool for over a week its just too cold... :(

YAY,its a hot day here, the pool is full, I have balanced the water (almost) and Thunderbirds are Go... :) The kids have been in all day yesterday and fighting to get in today,.... :)

Hi guys... Pool parts have arrived, the repositioning of the pool is taking place even as we speak... I'll be putting hoses in it tonight and starting to fill it.... FINALLY... We've had a week of pouring rain here in Australia, its almost country wide, but today is the last day and we're...

Yup, they're definitely gone... :( But I just paid for 12 new ones to be delivered.... So I may have a pool for January... :(

Things are shocking here at the moment... I need 12 new restrainer straps for the legs of my pool, as apparently I've THROWN THEM OUT, when cleaning the shed a couple of months ago... So its going to be a long wait for them to arrive from INTEX in the US to me here in Oz, so my summer is...

Hey Kimkats... I sure will.... I've got to order a couple more plunger valves, and I'm about to pull apart all the hoses and re-silicone everything so no leaks this year.... Last year I filled the pool by using 3 different hoses all over the complex... That worked as the complex was half...

Hi everyone... Well its November and getting really hot here... LOVIN" IT... We're supposed to have a screaming hot summer this year.... So looking forward to it... I ordered the replacement pool liner yesterday, it should be here by the end of the week... I'm going to spend some of the week...

The weather is getting warmer here..... I'm order the new pool liner in a couple of weeks......... So I'll be back with more..... My lil Mirage is awesome..... :) I can recommend it as a little run around....

But in other news, Dave bought me a brand new car this winter... :-)

ITS THE FIRST DAY OF SPRING HERE IN AUSTRALIA.... Yay the warmer weather is on its way.... :) I have to buy a brand new liner for the pool as Samson my youngest child who is also slightly autistic took a steak knife to the side of the pool to stress test it... So yeah, that has to arrive...

Wow that's going to look amazing... :-)

Ah yes I remember this pool... This is the one that made me fall in love with sand coloured pools.... I just love the water colour....

Thank the Universe its going to be 27 degrees Celsius here tomorrow... Then a few cooler days and we hit back up into the 30's again... Happy days... The kids go back to school tomorrow, we're the last state in the country to do so.... So I'll have the entire pool to myself most days till the...

Hi MegaWatty, I'm in Gungahlin....

This is by far my favourite yet.... You must be bursting with pride... :-)

Hi MegaWatty, yup you guys are definitely getting better weather than us down south... It should be hot again by the weekend hopefully.... But I am writing again tonight, cause I have a great story....... Today, there was a stolen car behind my house, so I rang the cops to let them know where...

4 days my pool has had the solar cover on... Its been way too cold and windy.... El Nina is killing me right now..... The kids have been stuck inside, only one more week of school holidays and they go back to school.... Its been a long 7 weeks..... We haven't gone above 23 degrees Celcius...

Hi Mollyj, I am totally in love with it.... There's a couple of reasons.... Its light as a feather even though its huge.... I've had to fix a few things on the pool and plumbing so disconnecting it and moving it right out of the way is a bonus.... I don't have to lug sand home... I will...

Sorry I keep forgetting I'm in Australia and there's a company that specifically does this kind of thing.... I'll post a link and maybe you could show it to some of your guys... :-) http://www.abgal.com.au/

Hey Kimkats, I feel done... The pool is done, but I know there's more projects around the pool that need doing :-).... I've even been looking at the unevenness of the pool, its out by 1 inch in one corner, and I don't think we will pull it down for the winter... I'm just gonna leave it up...

YAY, the new plunger valve has arrived, and I can stop the pool from leaking.... I can also now isolate the pool and check for the suction leak I have.... Pretty sure its coming from the cartridge filter..... Just have to wait for Dave to get home from work..... So close to being completely...

Hi Mollyj :-) I keep it really full... The pool "performs" better when its full, so about one tile from the top.... Any less and it doesn't sit as well for me.... It also hides the 1 inch out unevenness....

Yup I did it... It was totally worth it... There's nothing like putting goggles on, and swimming under water and seeing just how clean and clear it is.... The only problem is, I'm a pool snob now, and if someone else has a pool, and if its not as clean as mine, I won't get in.... Unless they...

Isn't it always the way! Crystal clear pool and it's too cold to get in! I'm so tempted just cause it's so clean! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

El Nina is in effect here in Australia... Now its a good thing for the country as we are getting heaps of drought breaking rain, but if you're a pool owner that only gets three months of summer, IT SUCKS........ We've had 25kph winds and its been very overcast..... Not what I was expecting at...

Its great Kim :-) I had to go back out and vac again after everything had settled, so my pool is now crystal clear and clean.... I've just reprogrammed the digital timer so I can set and forget the pump... :-) I'm only running it three times a day, 6.00am - 9.00am, then 9.00pm till 12.00 and...

Pool is up and running! Circulation is fantastic! The return jet hits The other side of the pool! I've already vacuumed and it only took me 15 minutes! Just so happy with it right now! Check out the movement of the water! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It really does Kim.... :-( But hubby got the caulking gun out last night, and went to work with the silicone.... :-) Going to put it back together this morning and see how we go.... The pool has been sitting stagnant for 3 days, I need to get some circulation in there......

Switched everything on, and we have leaks..... So now I have to redo it all and it sets me back another day..... :-( Just at the pump and filter, the pool connections are fine, except for the one cracked plunger valve that's on order....
