My brother is living with me for a while and he is helping with the pool. He brushes and tests the water and vacuums etc. Well my pool got a little sick... walls were slick, needed vacuuming etc. He tests the water EVERY day and texts me the results. I feel like he is really trying to help...

So the gorgeous sunshine and it's UV rays have finally killed my Deep Leaf rake.. The mesh is just self destructing... It has served dutifully for 3 years but it is done.... RIP... I cant find a decent leaf rake anywhere... None of the box stores have one.... In fact they dont even have a...

I have a 26' Coleman entering it's 3rd season. (probably last). The loops on top that the horizontal pipes go through (dont know what to call them) are now causing everyone skin irritation if you lean against them. It is like fiberglass and gets under your skin and itches for hours even a day...

I am getting the pool cleaned up this year and am experiencing something new when I backwash. I have a SandDollar filter with a 1.5 horse pump. It is starting it's 6th season. When I am filtering the system works fine and of course the pressure climbs as the filter works its magic. When I go...

My kids gifted to me a 26' AGP to replace my aging 18' pool. I am getting a few years on me and see this as a double edge sword. I have learned a lot from running the old 18 footer and really want to do this pool right so I don't have to mess with setting one up after this one. I have read...

I am thinking about getting a solar cover for my 18' Round above ground pool. I Live in west Texas and we have a lot of wind. Is there any chance that the cover would stay on. I would hate to buy one and come home to find it wrapped around a mesquite bush 100 yards out in the pasture. How...

I have been trying to slam my pool since the 28th of MAY. I still have blobs of brownish/slightly green algae stuck to the bottom of my vinyl pool. I have bribed 3 of my grown children with steaks to get in the pool at SLAM level with green kitchen scrubbies on their feet to scrub this stuff...

I have been fighting some stubborn algae stains on the floor of my AG pool. I have been slammin my pool with the brand new pump running continuously for 8 days now. Well late last night I turned the pump off to disconnect my pool cleaner and reconnect the skimmer. When I tried to turn the...
