I have an old Aquaslide N Dive pool slide that I just bought used and have replaced the nozzles and tubing. I have the hookup for a water hose but am wondering if anyone knows of a way to hook this up to one of my returns instead. I'm sure it would require adaptors of some sort. This would...

I recently bought an older SR Smith slide from someone who was replacing it. The slide has what looks to be aluminum supports and ladder. It has 3 support posts. The slide ladders has some paint and other buildup on them and overall alot of oxidation. I was wondering if someone could recommend...

I was originally supposed to get a salt system from my installer last summer and he never provided it(story for another day). Anyway, I have decided to buy a system this spring and here are the specs on my pool. It's a 16x32 3foot shallow 8.5foot deep end, vinyl liner pool. I have a 1.5hp...

I have an older fiberglass tub and was wondering if the cover lifts would work with fiberglass? I know that you have to drill holes for the brackets and was concerned about whether you can drill holes into the side of the fiberglass and if it would hold the brackets. Any help or recommendations...

Waste, thanks for the help. I have a 16' x 32' with roman end steps that make the total length 36' to the end of the step. It measures 4' on each side of the steps to the outside of the pool wall meaning it is an 8' wide set of steps. Anyway, I looked at some mesh covers from InTheSwim and a...

Just wondering if anyone has used this stuff? I've recently epoxied a couple of cracks in my concrete and am thinking about trying to redo my pool deck. I'm hoping it will cover the areas that have been epoxied with no problems.

It's an older Hot Springs spa. Probably made sometime in the 90's. It's 600 gallon spa. I'm going to try and see if the lens just snaps off. Thanks for the help guys.

Unfortunately the guy ripped us off and skipped out without providing everything. Never got my salt system either. Anyway, thanks for the advice on the mesh. I will definitely need some advice on installation. It seems like you just have to drill holes with a masonry bit for the anchors. What...

Unfortunately my pool installer hasn't come through with a cover which was a part of my original purchase. I now have to purchase my own cover it appears. I had to leave my pool pumping the whole winter last year waiting for him to give me a cover and he never came through. Anyway, I'm wondering...

We just recently got a hot tub and it had a red lens cover. I ordered a set of 5 different colored lens covers and was wondering if someone could tell me how to change out the lens cover. Do you have to remove the light or drain the water below the light or does the cover come off separately...

I was wondering if anyone had any experience with building their own pool slide? The prices for slides are outrageous and I would love to be able to design and build something on my own. If anyone has any suggestions or ideas to point me in the right direction it will be appreciated.

Cleaning the shallow end is spotty. It does well at times but I had the power unit at the deep end and noticed that occasionally the cord would get tangled causing it not to go all the way to end of the shallow end. I've since moved the power unit to an outlet at the shallow end and it appears...

I have this cleaner, the first week I didn't like it at all. It wouldn't work right and stayed around the bottom of the deep end. I finally discovered that the filter bag wasn't snapped in place correctly. After that problem was fixed it has performed pretty good. It does climb walls even though...

My pool installer put in 2 fiber optic lights in the deep end of my pool facing towards the shallow end. They are installed approximately 1 foot below the water line. I'm not sure what brand they are but the photon box installed behind my diving board is rather large. Here is my problem, the...

I forgot to mention that my pool is a 16x32 Vinyl Liner Pool with roman end steps. So far the Blue Pearl/Blue Diamond sounds really good.
