Hey guys, I rented a house back in 2015-2017 that had a pool. My wife's sister was also renting a house with a pool and it became this joint hobby between my brother in-law and I to learn pool stuff. We both used this forum to expand out knowledge and to care for 'our' pools. Since 2017 neither...

This is not a build in the works, aside from my imagination. But I am wondering if anyone has ever seen someone split the spa and pool using glass..... but I am not talking about highly engineered thick glass to hold back the spa water. The idea is that the glass only needs to hold back a...

I am looking to purchase a cover for the pool. I am mostly concerned with the water loss due to the extreme arid climate I am located in. I would also like the benefit of the heating. I see there are blue and clear 'bubble wrap' type covers. To me, clear makes sense for letting in light, and...

I just moved to a new home. I am renting it. BUT, we decided to rent this home for the pool. Sadly I didn't get a chance to tinker with the pool stuff before the lease was signed. Bottom line. The pump is either worn out or under powered it seems for the pool. I can't run the skimmer and the...

My brother in law/sister in law have just started renting a home that has a pool. Collectively we have no personal experience operating/maintaining a pool. I am a mechanic, so I am pretty technical. We figured out how the pool functions pretty quickly. I am sort of spear heading the 'get rid of...
