    Pool Decoration

    I did a border of 15" around my Intex with pebbles and put pots of flowers and solar lights as well. It is contained with a rubber border from Lowes. (Rubberific 4-ft Black Landscape Edging Section). The pebbles show footprints but they are easy on the feet if you have to get in there to...

    24 Ft AGP Circulation Issue

    I like the idea of being able to run everything at once if needed. If I get ambitious, maybe an Internet of Things set up to control the speed, turn on fountains, pump through a solar collector for heating Oct/April (night for cooling in the summer?), maybe even misters off the pump! LOL...

    Temporary Intex Take Down

    I did that very thing to move my 24ft round Ultra Frame back in the yard 10ft. Just be sure you don't trap debris under the liner when placing it back. I have a few grass clumps between my liner and the nice smooth foamboard. Oh well.

    New Intex dual outlets?

    The reason they have two outlets is to prevent entrapment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_Graeme_Baker_Pool_and_Spa_Safety_Act The two inlet ball valve is likely defective, not allowing flow the other way.

    pool cleaner, aqua bug not satisified.

    I just bought a Aquabug and it worked great. I think the key is to make sure you have enough hose on it. The hose floats making the last section vertical down to the bug. The pool bottom is bumpy (yes, wrong sand. Fixing that this winter) and the seams are not fully glued down. It picked up...
