Question for any pool gurus. This is our first time replastering our pool, how delicate is the plaster (StoneScape Mini pebble) in the early stages and then long term? We have a large dog (150ish lbs Mastiff) who loves the pool. The plaster was applied July 1st, we kept him out of the pool...

Well, after some unexpected delays our project is finally complete. Other than the high price, we are very happy with the transformation, and I guess at the end of the day as long as it brings us joy it’s worth the costs. Here’s a time lapse from our Ring camera of the deck removal and paver...

Did you ever find the proper size bearings for your pump? We did a pool reno and had our pump off for a while, once everything was reconnected and running the pump is running much louder, I suspect a bearing is going bad. Seems like a coincidence, but not sure.

That was pretty much my rationale, when comparing the cost of a new pool to our project. We did consider doing the demo ourselves, and voiced that thought to the contractor. They dropped the cost of the labor by $3,000 and then said my own demo would only drop the price $1500 more. At that...

I dropped the training wheels as soon as my test kit arrived. No sense in checking yourself against inaccurate results at the PS. The best way to confirm your results is to educate yourself on how to properly conduct the tests through this website and YouTube videos, and use products that will...

I went through a fairly similar situation on a 20 year old pool when we bought our house. I swapped out the motor on the single speed pump with a VS motor and added a wifi link. I also installed an Edge 40 SWG. I put it and the Polaris booster pump on GE 240v z wave switches that run through our...

Ours is fabric as well, not sure what kind though. Ours seems very similar to the fabric on our boat’s Bimini top. You might find something like Babe’s Clever Cleaner or their Seat Cleaner might do the job. Just be careful to not get it in the tub as it will surely cause it to foam up. Clean the...
