    How to use suction-based vacuum with dual outlets?

    couldn't you just block one of the "outlets"(suction port) or valve one of them off ,just for vacuuming purposes.Did they perchance provide you with a t'd adapter(2 into 1) for vacuuming? Think Large sink stopper,rubber kind.Off white color,sometimes comes with small chain attached.

    Any thoughts about this pool from Wayfair?

    There is nothing wrong with an overlap liner (as long as it's of good quality).It just requires a bit more finesse and adjustment when installing. I don't have any experience with this particular pool so I can't say how long it will last.I was just giving you some reasons why it was so cheaply...

    Deck jets on an ABG

    If you got a good deal on the assemblies or just used the nozzles I think you could do an install similar to mine for around $100.00 give or take.To me,my pool is a toy and toys don't have to make sense.:p

    Deck jets on an ABG

    Don't mind the mess. I used a 2.5" holesaw for the hole in the deck for the deck jet assembly.(very snug fit,didn't want deckjet assembly moving)a 2 9/16" holesaw would work well also.I use a dual stream nozzle. I used 1" pvc pipe and J hangers w/ a valve to turn jets on or off.(valve has...

    Deck jets on an ABG

    I'll be with in 40 min. of your general area sometime next week.Why stop at 1 I have 2 I think you should go for at least 4. They are easier to install than you think. Maybe I'll take pics,once you see how it's done it's a piece of cake.

    New Skimmer

    Half way up the skimmer or a little higher is fine,as long as your weir (small door in skimmer) still functions correctly.(keeps debris in the skimmer)

    Leslie's Pools says they cannot help me so I came here.

    Welcome, your water is fixable. Now might be a good time to fix your uneven pool,before pool season kicks into high gear. Stick around here and you won't need a pool store.Do yourself a favor get a good FAS-DPD test kit.(they are worth every penny)

    Do you own a sump pump or transfer pump?Intex pool pump? Use one of those to transfer the water from the intex to your new pool. Don't give up, we're rooting for you.
