Any above-ground pool owners here?

have been so impressed with the results I've gotten from Klasse All-In-One Polish and Klasse Sealer that I just tried the combo on my 4 year old Doughboy pool. The top ledge (rail) of the pool was pretty oxidized and chalky looking and I decided to try the Klasse combo on it since it did such an outstanding job on the cars I've used it on recently. Needless to say, the results were amazing and the plastic ledge looks brand-new again. My next-door neighbors even noticed the difference from their back porch and want me to do the same thing to their pool! I'll take some "before and after" pics and post them here...

House had one when we moved in... Florida, so needless to say it rusted and gave out. No indication of it on railing, etc. but one hot hot day we came home to go swimming, and it was empty.

Replaced it, no issues now, although if the wife lets it get green this year it becomes *my* pond. Gonna keep NA natives in it and put a webcam or two in it for viewing....

We've had ours for 4 years and haven't had any problems with it. Our kids love it and we have a natural-gas heater that we use in the spring and fall, so the kids swim from Memorial Day through Halloween. There is normal maintenance to do and I've replaced all flexible hoses with flexible PVC with glued in union fittings so it's easy to take apart and put back together. We have a cartridge filter that keeps the water crystal clear. anyway, the kids love it and it makes me feel good to see them swimming all summer long!

I really didn't want a pool (maintainence), but in addition, I'm about 10 miles away from some of the nicest springs in Florida... do a google for High Springs, Fl. then check out Blue Springs, Poe Springs, or Ginnie Springs
