Good Morning! We just have one of those cheapy above ground plastic pools..48 inches high 15 (or16) ft diameter. We were dismayed to find mice had gone into it over the winter...after MAJOR PATCHING.. I called a water truck and had it filled...then the fun began. We absolutley CANNOT find any new paper filters for the thing. We tried to get a new pool this year but everyone was sold out so in the meantime we are stuck! It's been hotter than hades here in the country in Southwestern Ontario this summer so the kids and I have been living in the pool. Now we tried to put together a makeshift pool filter with screening and coffee filters but as you can imagine it dosen't work very well. We now have extreamly cloudy water. The test stips show a normal range for the following...ph 7.4 ....total alalinity between 80 and 120 ....Cyanuric Acid between 50 and 100...but the clorine count will melt your eyes !!! It was off the chart..we have been floating pucks and my husband used Shock It....anybody got any ideas?? Any suggestions for a better rigged up filter as well??? We will get a new set up first thing next year but in the meanwhile we are...MELTING IN THE HEAT FLOATING IN A MILK BATH!..thanks so much.. :? [font=Lucida [/font]
