Can anyone tell me how messy this is. I want to use it on the pool deck buc I don't stuff all over the deck and esp. in the pool. Thank you.

The ashes do blow around. I bought a grill mat because the base does get hot. I wouldn't put it on a deck.

I haven't used this a lot, but when I did, it made very little mess. I will say that the unit is quite small, you may what a larger one. I like it because it is easy to move around on my deck and my grandkids roast marshmallows in it and they can watch all around. Enjoy.

It will make a mess. Don't use it on the pool deck. The ground is where it should be used and enjoyed

Not messy at all. Clean out the pit after usage.I have one 3' away from my pool. No ash anywhere and is a decorative friendly.

We have a concrete pool, so I pull, push, and scoop with it! No worries about damage for us. It's great to be able to skim surface leaves all at one time instead of emptying frequently. And stuff stays in it. If I have leaves/debris on the deep end (10ft) floor, I get the edge of this at the beginning of the mess and push slowly until it has gone into the net. We have rounded and sloped areas in the deep end, that's why sometimes I'm pulling debris on the bottom towards me to get it.

It is tricky and I may not be the best to answer but I had the same problem at first. Every time you twist each hose section you will change the direction in which it will ultimately go so you have to play with it. Not every time, but in a 5 hour cycle times 5 days it should cover most of the pool. You and I are ultimately stuck with having to finish the job any ways once a week.

Stephanie, I've never used it, but it works great in the pool. Give them a call they're pretty accessible.

Hmmmm !!!! Not sure the question makes sense to me BUT ,,,, lets try to address this ok on all poles at the end that goes into the water there are two small holes opposite one another ..... if this is NOT the case you have a problem with the POLE..... moving on .....on the OCEAN BLUE connection there are two plastic "bumps" you squezze these bumps inward and place the pole over these "bumps"and release the bumps when they line up with the holes on the pole therefor LOCKIONG the pole to the ocean blue. Hope this helps ... another thought is to take the ocen blue & the pole to your local pool supply place and let them solve your problem..... have a good day :-)

I did Oklahoma stone that's pool coping. Instructions say to dab up any excess that pools as this isn't desirable when dried. I noticed on the third & final coat applied with a paint brush that small areas started staying behind. I just brushed it out/over the dryer parts of the stone. Like I said this was outdoor pool coping, and, for that purpose there is no wiping-polishing-buffing. Just let dry and keep dry (no rain) for 24 hours.

My pool is in Florida, so I have no idea how the vinyl liner would hold up under a lot of freezing temperatures. I would check out vinyl lifespans under extreme temperatures. As for maintenance. I have no deck around the pool and believe maintenance is easier without a deck. I believe kneeling down to scoop leaves off the bottom or surface is more stressful than standing. I do not plan on a deck for my pool.

We filled a kiddie pool with water and laundry soap and lt soak, then hand scrubbed. It was very annoying but worked out. baby wipes took out the lighter dirt but not the streaked stuff so it took some work. But then air dried and looked brand new.

I used a paint brush to apply to the top and when the brush would be close to dry, I tried to get as much as I could on the bottom. This stuff is very thin but does work. I get a lot of use out of our pool and feel like I already need to reapply (after a year). I only used about half of the container for a sport pool, so no worries. The ideal situation is to do this before you have water in the pool.

I recommend it. I used the Gladon Foam Adhesive. Two cans for a 21' round pool. I have to say, I like the foam. I decided to install the wall foam, foam cove and a rhino pad. It was a bit of work, but well worth it. I have not had to heat the pool nearly as much this year. I think it holds heat better over night, giving the solar cover a chance to do its job better in the morning. I also like the "soft feeling" all around. I sprayed a strip of adhesive about 10"-20" wide (top/down) and 3'-5' long (side/side) just under the j-bead and applied the foam nice and level beneath the bead. I used a trowel to smooth the foam over the adhesive and work out the air. After going all the way around the pool, I went back and spayed small sections at a time near the bottom and attached the foam. I did not worry about getting glue under evey inch of foam. It is too hard to keep the foam level and smooth working with such a large area. If the top is attached well, and there are no wrinkles, it isn't going anywhere once the pool is filled. Also by doing the top section first ad I described, it is a one person job. Good luck with your install!

Good question, as I had the same concern (most seemed to be for in ground pools). I have an above-ground pool and this works great in it.

I took up the grass and put 10 bags of sand down and a tarp. I am adding sand this year. If your grass is soft just put it on a tarp. Lay on the grass area, what ever you feel will be the floor of the pool.

I live in Tampa, FL and I'm thinking of planting this around the pool decking. Has anyone had any trouble with the heat in Tampa? It will be in full sun.

I think it would be fine on a wooden deck....not sure why it would say for inground pools.

I am no expert, but I just read a blog and the woman swore by using polyacrylic clear sealer, it's water based, instead of using wax. She actually used a certain brand of clear deck sealer. I found this on Pinterest. I'm going to try it sounds easier than wax.

It is a problem. I occasionally take the cord out of the pool and lay it on the deck in full sun or heat for a day. It needs to be straight this helps get rid of the "memory" of the twists

I am using it right now. I am using a brush to get everything loose and also using shock to get it started. Keep an eye on your generator to make sure that there is plenty of salt in your pool.
