Has anybody bought an XL 10,000 above ground pool? I believe it is
manufactured by either Branch Brook or Swim ‘n’ Play and is sold
through NAMCO. I am trying to compare it with the Atlantic sold
through the NAMCO also but it very hard to find info or opinions
online. I have been given different opinions by different […]

We’re putting in a pool on a slope right next to where we want a fence
before the foreclosure next door goes on the market. First we’re
having major tree work done, but also need to buy the pool. We’re
having it installed in the fall (in New England) only because of the
digging in […]

Email what you need and I’ll see if I have it.
Thanks!

Greetings all,
This is our first year with a pool, and so far we have learned a lot
about care and maintenance. It’s pretty complex - 33,000 gal.,
in-ground, waterfalls, a spa and an island.
Recently we have been noticing D.E. getting into the pool, and from
what I’ve read it’s most likely a breach in the filter, so we’re […]

We would like to extend the useful season for our 16′ x 32′ Kayak pool
earlier in the spring and later in the fall, as well as get the water to
the warmest possible temps. E have been using a solar cover and that
really has helped (until it started falling apart this season), but […]

We have a 16′ x 32′ (water) above-ground Kayak pool and a rather
unfriendly tree in the neighbor’s yard. The tree dumps tons of seed
pods (similar to the Maple propeller seed pods) on our pool deck and
into the pool. One week away on vacation and then we spend two days
cleaning out the […]

We own a Kayak rectangular above-ground pool. Pool measures 16′ x 32′
with a 2′-wide deck on three sides and an 8′-wide deck on one end.
We’ve been using a solar cover (see my other post about the plastic
failing after three years), with a lower-end reel system. The aluminum
multi-section pole has been fine, […]

i have a 28000 gallon kidney shaped diving pool that I am wanting to
purchase a new filter for. I currently have a DE and I want to replace
it with a sand as I hear sand is less maintenance.
I am currently running a 1.5 HP motor…what size inch filter will I
need? 22″ - 24″ - 30″
Please […]

We bought a premium 12-mil solar cover (16′ x 32′) for our Kayak pool
three summers ago. I’m having to throw it out now because the “tops” of
the air chambers (bubbles) have pretty much all come off into the pool
this season. We get sun on the pool about 2/3rd of the day, and the
pool is a […]
