About 'metal pool'|What Do I Use to Repair an Intex Quick Set Pool on the ...








Ah,               the               joy               of               having               your               own               in               ground               pool               in               your               backyard.

A               little               piece               of               paradise               for               your               enjoyment               anytime               you               wish.

A               place               for               the               grandkids               to               romp,               a               place               for               poolside               parties,               and               a               quiet               refuge               for               you               and               your               spouse               to               share               a               quiet               swim               and               good               conversation               together.

So               much               for               the               good               weather               in               the               summer.

But               now,               fall               approaches,               and               with               that               portion               of               the               calendar               edging               ever               closer,               you               realize               that               winter               is               also               approaching.

Winter:               that               time               of               year               where               the               physics               of               freezing               water               may               soon               lay               waste               to               the               closed               piping               system               of               your               pool.

Yes,               that               pesky               expansion               of               liquid               water               as               it               moves               below               the               32               degree               Fahrenheit               barrier               will               produce,               wonder               of               wonders,               a               solid               form               of               said               water.

Yep,               the               formation               of               ice               will               provide               sufficient               energy               to               crack               even               the               toughest               Schedule               40               PVC               pipe.

And               with               an               in               ground               pool,               one               of               those               fractured               pipes               will               be               certain               to               occur               underground,               leaving               you               with               a               forensic               nightmare               come               the               spring               thaw.

Those               of               us               lucky               enough               to               live               in               regions               where               winters               are               winters               will               have               to               keep               the               above               7th               grade               science               lesson               in               mind               as               we               close               our               pools.
               Ok,               your               kids'               college               fall               semester               has               begun,               and               the               grandkids               are               back               in               their               schools               as               well.

By               (thankfully)               a               unanimous               decision               with               your               spouse,               the               realization               comes               that               it               is               now               time               to               close               the               pool.

(Sigh)
               A               few               days               before               the               mechanical               type               actions,               add               a               phosphate               removal               chemical               to               the               water.

Then               go               ahead               and               brush               the               sidewalls               and               vacuum.

Hey,               this               is               the               last               time               this               calendar               year               you               have               to               mess               with               those               vacuum               hoses!

Be               thankful               for               that.

If               you               have               metals               rich               water,               you               might               consider               using               a               "Metal               Free"               type               additive               as               well.

Next,               make               sure               that               the               water               has               a               total               alkalinity               of               120               to               140               ppm.

Also               adjust               the               pH               to               7.4               to               7.6.

These               steps               may               require               a               trip               to               the               Pool               Store               for               a               water               test.

Now               let               the               pump               run               for               a               few               days.
               Now               comes               the               fun               part.

Dose               the               pool               with               a               good               quality               algae               control.

Let               the               pump               run               for               another               hour               or               so.

You               want               to               insure               that               the               algaecide               is               thoroughly               distributed               in               the               water               system.

Then               drain               the               pool               level               down               below               the               skimmer               intake               level               by               at               least               2               or               3               inches,               using               the               pool's               pump.

Note:               If               your               pool               does               not               have               a               return               on               the               bottom               of               the               pool,               you               will               have               to               use               a               submersible               pump               to               get               the               water               level               low               enough.
               Now               comes               the               really               fun               part.

Remove               all               of               the               drain               plugs               from               the               filter               pump               system.

These               will               include               the               pump               strainer               basket               housing,               filter               tank,               automatic               chlorinator,               and               heater.

Some               pump               assemblies               have               two               drain               plugs:               be               sure               to               check               if               this               is               your               first               time               winterizing               your               pool.

It               is               also               a               must               to               unscrew               the               pressure               gage               from               the               top               of               the               filter               body,               and               also               remove               that               glass               thingy               that               lets               you               see               the               water               get               clear               when               you               backwash.

Be               careful,               though,               as               there               is               a               rubber               flap               in               the               sight               glass               you               don't               want               to               lose.

I               put               the               drain               plugs,               gage,               etc.

in               the               pump               strainer               basket               so               I               know               where               they               are               next               spring.

I               learned               that               trick               the               hard               way               after               a               long               search               for               those               parts               one               spring.

I               had               put               them               right               where               I               thought               I               would               remember.
               Next,               remove               the               return               jets               (I               have               three               in               my               pool)               and               replace               with               winterizing               plugs.

The               water               level               need               not               be               below               the               return               jet               elevation.

Take               the               basket               out               of               the               skimmer.

Did               I               say               you               needed               a               shop               vacuum?

Well,               you               need               a               shop               vacuum.

Take               the               caps               off               of               your               return               and               supply               lines,               and               use               to               vacuum               to               suck               out               as               much               water               as               you               can               get.

Then               use               it               to               suck               any               water               out               of               the               skimmer               as               well.

Stick               the               vacuum               hose               down               the               skimmer               return               line               as               far               as               you               can.

Now               is               the               time               to               add               antifreeze               to               these               now               open               lines.

Use               RV               Antifreeze               you               can               buy               at               any               auto               parts               store               or               supercenter.

This               stuff               is               usually               pink,               and               is               marked               for               RV               water               systems,               not               the               radiator.

It               works               as               well               as               the               expensive               "pool"               antifreeze               some               pool               stores               sell.

This               should               save               you               a               couple               of               bucks               a               gallon.

Fill               the               lines               as               full               as               you               can,               then               screw               the               caps               back               on               the               return               and               supply               lines.

For               the               skimmer               you               will               need               a               Gizmo,               a               device               you               screw               into               the               bottom               of               the               skimmer.

It               will               expand               if               the               skimmer               fills               with               water               and               freezes               during               the               winter.

It               also               makes               sense               to               pour               a               little               antifreeze               in               the               skimmer               after               you               put               the               Gizmo               in               place.

Finally               turn               off               the               main               power               supply               to               the               pump,               heater,               and               lights.

If               your               pump               is               on               a               timer,               you               should               probably               remove               the               little               "on"               and               "off"               trip               levers               from               the               timer.
               A               trash               barrel               with               a               secure               lid               is               a               great               place               to               store               your               pool               vacuum               hose               and               other               items.

Drill               some               holes               in               the               bottom               of               the               trash               barrel.

That               will               let               any               water               drain               out.

Take               an               inventory               of               your               pool               toys,               floats,               etc.

Fall               is               a               great               time               to               cull               the               toys               that               have               not               survived               the               previous               summer.

Somehow,               at               our               house,               the               carnage               of               the               summer               play               always               leaves               a               pile               of               broken               squirt               guns,               deflated               rafts,               and               a               plethera               of               goggles               with               broken               straps.

Best               be               rid               of               these               remains               now:               you               will               be               glad               you               did               next               spring.
               Now               comes               the               nemesis               of               all               pool               owners:               the               pool               cover.

Surprise!

I               don't               use               a               pool               cover.

After               a               few               seasons               of               struggling               with               a               cover,               I               decided               to               stop               using               one.

I               had               to               pump               water               off               of               it               all               winter,               and               then               upon               removal               the               next               spring,               I               always               managed               to               dump               most               of               the               dirt,               leaves               and               crud               into               the               pool               anyway.

Some               will               swear               that               over-winter               debris               will               stain               your               pool,               but               with               proper               chemicals               added               in               the               fall,               our               fiberglass               pool               has               never               suffered               from               stains               in               the               spring.

(Disclaimer:               If               you               are               the               least               bit               concerned               about               pets               or               people               falling               into               the               pool               over               the               winter,               please,               please               invest               in               a               penetration               proof               cover.

A               pool               cover               not               rated               for               safety               can               be               as               much               a               hazard               as               no               cover               at               all.)
               In               the               spring,               start               to               remove               the               leaves               and               debris               a               week               or               so               before               opening.

Simply               use               your               net,               and               push               it               across               the               bottom               and               scoop               out               the               leaves.

The               water               will               get               cloudy,               but               just               let               it               settle,               and               continue               the               next               day.

After               two               or               three               days,               most               of               the               leaves               and               debris               will               be               out               of               your               pool.

You               have               to               vacuum               at               the               opening               anyway.
               This               system               works               well               for               me.

Remember;               make               sure               you               have               the               correct               chemicals,               in               the               right               proportions,               to               start               the               winter               month's               rest               for               your               pool.

Sit               back,               relax,               and               dream               of               next               spring.

It               will               be               here               sooner               than               you               think.
               And               remember,               when               it               is               time               to               open               your               pool               next               season,               you               know               right               where               the               drain               plugs,               gages,               and               all               that               other               stuff               is               stored,               right?
