    1.5 inch replacement hose for Coleman (Bestway) - does brand matter?

    For 1.5 inch replacement hoses, do you have to get the ones branded for your specific pool? I have a Coleman made by Bestway, but seems like stores only have the Intex 1.5 inch hose in stock right now. Wondering if really they're interchangeable so I could go with the Intex or not. Thanks!

    Bowing in pool while full!

    Better to take down and store, or leave up and winterize

    Have had Intex, Bestway, etc. type AGP for a long time. I've always taken them down for the winter and stored in a shed and I can get almost a decade out of them with some hole patching here and there. How long would the pool last generally speaking if left outside during Midwest winters? Just...

    Help..diy idea? Current pool cover barely reaches to grab. End up chasing it all around pool to keep sides from letting go

    I have a Coleman 18x 48 above ground steel frame pool. The problem is the cover that came with is 'ok'... But.. It seems to be only just big enough to cover it and not enough big to go over the sides down far enough to maintain a good 'grab'on it before it lets go and starts falling back into...
