Read through POOL SCHOOL....Trust these guys and gals. I started with my first pool at 60 years old. The only trouble I ever had was when I brought info from web sites outside of the TFP method and trying to merge the two systems. Stick with one method, whatever you choose. The tests will be a...

It's not very difficult. You don't need any special tools or expertise. Simply purchase the fittings, drain the water below the cut line, mark the liner where the hole goes around the damaged flange, use an exacto knife to cut slowly around the hole and keep a steady hand. Remember to use pool...

Yep...No problem. I cut my liner with the help of TFP for the first time s couple years ago. Two return lines, one suction line, one skimmer hole. Take your time. Cut slowly. Keep a steady hand. No hooch the night before, no coffee in the mornig..:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: I lowered the water...

The Intex Pressure Side Vacuum I purchased in 2016 worked like a charm until it stopped this year. It worked very well on the low speed of my 2 speed pump. However, after three months, the newest incarnation will only work with the pump on high speed. But while its running on high speed, the in...

Whatever you do, don't overthink. I put in a 12 x 24 Intex a while back. The whole shebang cost me less than $900.00. My upgrades due to "over thinking" has exceeded the original cost of the pool.... Doing it right is good, thinking too much is bad!!!:laughblue::laughblue::laughblue:.. Concrete...

Me Too!!! Very Happy. Not too difficult, just time consuming. Don't rush your PVC joints. Take the time to let the glue set. The TFP members were a big help to me while I planned. I was terribly annoying with the questions, but they didn't let me flounder. Yes, be sure not to use Drain Pipe...

No trouble at all. I pushed skimmer mounting plates all the way to the top of the heat seam, just below where the top rail pocket starts. Be sure to use silicone inside and outside along with the butterfly gasket. Try not to overtighten the screws into the faceplate of the skimmer.

HOW ABOUT A PICTURE OF YOUR STAIRS AND SMALL PLATFORM??🙏

Ingenious!!! Nicely done...

It looks like you're holding the new style wheel with narrow rubber tread, but the picture of the cleaner has the old style wide rubber tread. Which one are you looking for??

Purchased a new INTEX 28001E Auto Pool Cleaner. The problem with the new setup was how to connect the cleaner hose to the Hayward through wall fittings. INTEX changed how the new hose connected to the wall fittings. The new hose is a long single hose rather than the old style INTEX multi-hose...

I just replaced my original INTEX Vacuum (Ophelia...may she RIP). The old girl had bad hoses (The old style multi-hose set up) and had trouble changing direction. So I purchased a new INTEX hose and vacuum combination from from Amazon for around $85.00. I could send the parts, or the entire...

I was doing a little shopping at work, killing time before I get home to tear apart and troubleshoot my motor....Checking pricing, If it is the pump motor, it could run me between $300.00 and $375.00 for 3/4hp replacement motor and various parts from INYO. I can purchase a Pureline 1hp/2-spd...

So WE'RE going troubleshoot to figure out if it's the pump motor or the pump itself. At some point, we could actually replace just the pump motor, or just the pump, or the entire pump motor/pump combination....

Sorry, its only a photo. trying to figure out how complicated it was to inspect the switch. I was doing a little research on line, because I'm not too familiar with electric motors, before taking out any tools...LOL Now I know what I'm looking for...
