I have a Polaris 280 now for about 3 to 4 yrs. Built the pool in October 2008. Our booster pump went out a few months back, so we had it replaced. Now when we put the Polaris in the pool, there are times we find it sitting in front of the steps running constantly into the steps... kinda...

Hey Guys & Gals, I'm working on setting up some speakers outside for our patio/pool area, and wanted to get you guys' opinions. The options I'm looking at are between a few different speakers, so here we go: 1) Yamaha NS-AW350W/NS-AW390WH --- @$100.00 at Amazon 2)...

Hey guys, I am happy to say that we finally got our pool installed, and yes I will definitely post some pics as soon as I can. BUT, we are currently (no pun intended) dealing with a "shocking" sensation when touching the concrete deck and water at the same time. OR when sitting with feet in...

We are looking through some choices for liners. I have talked to a few people, and looked at a few pools. We are getting differing opinions on light versus dark, and blue versus white versus greenish, versus greyish...etc. We were told light is better than dark for the lighting effects at...

Hey guys, I was wondering, I spoke to someone about their deck around their pool. They just had the typical concrete. It looked very nice, and that's what we'll have too, but I was wondering. We have concrete stain work around our patio where our pool is going to be, and on our driveway out...

We are considering doing 4 of the deck jets on our upcoming pool build. I was wondering though, about running them. I have read some posts that say you need separate pumps for water features and jets, and them some say you can use your main pump for the filtering AND extras. We will not be...

Guys, I have been reading about these automation control setups on some of the posts here that I can use to control the pump, cleaner, light, water feature,,,,,etc.... Can anyone shed a little light on this for me and possibly give me some names to research further?? Give me a few...

Our setup for our new inground vinyl (16X32, Not sure of gallons??) comes with a 1hp Hayward Pump. I have heard alot about getting a 2-speed pump instead of just a 1 speed to help save on electricity,,,,which I am all for.... My question is this, if I do get a 2 speed pump, do I still need a...

With our package for the new pool, we are getting 1-skimmer and 2-returns (jets). I was wondering if you all think we should go with more than this in the setup. Our pool will be 16 X 32 inground vinyl, rectangle. It will be in our backyard, no trees within about 80-90 feet of it. Pretty...

Guys and Gals of TFP, As you all know, we have been waiting for our AG 27' pool to arrive and be installed. Well, it has arrived, and the installer called, set up a time to bring "one of his guys" out here to start the process. When I go out this morning, the installer isn't even here, and...

quick question,,,,,, I am really thinking about this gorilla padding stuff, but can it be used at the same time as the plastic coating my PB is using??? They put down a thin hard plastic like coating to keep grass, weeds, etc... from coming through the liner. The way I am understanding is that...
