We have a 35k gallon inground pool and After last summer's swimming season, we had a new deck put in. When I opened the pool this season, I found that there is tons of dirt at the bottom of the pool. I ran the robotic cleaner (Polaris 9550 sport) however it runs for a REALLY short amoutn of...

I just had pavers installed around the pool. The fallen leaves have left a stain on them. I washed it down with a hose but the stain remains. Any ideas

I have a SP715XR50 Hayward Valve, which had a stuck handle. I unscrewed and removed the top and viola the handle moves. HOWEVER, after I put it back on, and screwing in - I moved it to filter except I saw water pumping out the back as if I was backwashing or rinsing. I assumed, I must not have...

Q#1 - I currently have concrete around my gunite (?) inground pool. I'm having stone pavers installed on top of the deck, as well as on top of the coping. In addition , I'm thinking of putting a decorative wall at the dep end of the pool. Should I be concerned of the added weight and sinking...

I have concrete around the pool area that needs to be replaced I spoke to a masonry guy to put down stone and he said he would use a jack hammer to remove the existing concrete. I have an old pool is that dangerous or are the pipes to deep to be a concern. Also if it is a concern is the...

The deck around my inground pool is cement. And it looks pretty bad. One option is to repaint it. However, I was thinking of putting artifical grass or perhaps even an outdoor "carpet" w/drainage holes on it. Does anyone have any experience where they can recommend one that is not expensive...

I bought the waterguru, so I don't need a pH tester. What do waterguru owners use to test alkalinity?

I just bough the waterguru and I see that it only takes a reading once per day. If I want an additional reading, I have to request it from that app. That's not a big deal, except (to save battery) if you're not in bluetooth range, it can take 90 minutes for it to pick up the request and return...

I'm looking to use 18" grass stakes (link) for my safety pool cover. Being that I'm putting them around the pool (grass is approx. 5-10' from the pool) and pump and heater is on the southern side about 15-20' from the pool. How can I tell that I'm not going to puncture a pipe? Is there a...

I have a 25x48' inground pool . I had a good quality 25 x50' thick solar cover that would get rolled out acrross the entire length of the pool that did a nice job of retaining heat. However it was so heavy that even with the best quality roller it became a 2 person job to roll it up - as such...

I have an in-ground concrete pool located mostly in the SHADE , it's ~ 25 x48' (Roman Shaped). We had a heat pump for the past few years, but it broke (seems the installer didn't set it up perfectly flat and over time collected water which corroded the parts, and replacement part is very...

I have a concrete in ground pool (~25x45'). One band/section of the floor (approx 25'x8') has become dis-colored (I think there were leaves sitting there) and is a real eye sore. It's part of the shallow / level section of the pool Is there a mat that I can put to cover it?

Please see the attached picture and the concrete patches around the outside of the pool. I'm looking to sell my house - what's the least expensive way to make that area more attractive? Paint (if so- how - does the pool water dripping on it from people's feet ruin it)? or another idea? Also...

My electrician and also (separately) contractor suggested doing so, I recall seeing a post on it here. Has anyone done it? How do you suggest doing so? (my house doesn't have central air - just window units - well actually we had central air, but it died and we never fixed it - so the duct...

I live in Rockland County NY , and am looking to heat my in ground pool (35k gallons) Due to trees and the path of the sun, we get very little sunlight (a few hours a day at best) on the pool. I'm looking to keep the water temperature 10 degrees higher than it currently is, and was thinking of...

I have a dreammaker x-spa-dition and there is a crack on the corner of the shell which is causing the tub to leak water. What is best to use to fix it? thx

Sorry as I'm sure this is a common questions (but the search engine wouldn't let me search for "pool cover" as it's too common of a search term) - so I skimmed though 3 pages of postings and didn't find anything - anyway here's my Q: I have a 25x45 pool area (in ground) pool area and need a...

The house that I bought about 5yrs ago came with a Sylvan Inner Ground pool. After using it the past 2-3 years we decided to paint it. (It seems that it hasn't been kept up in years and years). The prices were (for my budget) outrageous but we found a local handyman who used to work...
