    Suction Cleaner & Vacuum Head for PebbleSheen?

    Good morning! We are in the market for a vacuum head attachment to hook up to our filter/pump for occasional manual cleaning, and possibly as new automatic suction cleaner (the one we have may be on its last leg). We just put in PebbleSheen, so we have a few weeks before we'd start using the...

We decided to go with a PebbleSheen surface. I wanted to see if anyone has any recommendations/tips/FYIs for...

    Variable Speed Pump schedule

    Thank you! I'm sorry I didn't respond to this earlier--we had some family issues come up that swiftly took our time for a couple of weeks, then I was out of town for another couple weeks, and got real busy with deciding to renovate the pool. I will follow your advice once we have everything up...

    Variable Speed Pump schedule

    First-time Pool Owner -- Need to Resurface Pool

    Thanks for that info, AustinChad. I've heard that from some other folks who have had PebbleTec as well, and it's making us lean more towards a smoother material such as PebbleSheen. We will see once we get to see some samples.

    First-time Pool Owner -- Need to Resurface Pool

    Thanks for the advice, folks. We are the type of people who stay on top of things, such as maintenance, so we will definitely be sure to keep the chemical balances in check. Especially if it means extending the life of our pool. I've been doing homework on the pebble materials and have arranged...

    First-time Pool Owner -- Need to Resurface Pool

    Hello all! My husband and I just bought/moved into our new home which has a pool (details in signature). While the bones and plumbing/mechanics of the pool are all in great working order, the plaster is 20 years old, and is in desperate need of replacing. I've been doing research on materials...

    ACK, thank you for pointing that out. I swear it was just a typo and not ignorant stupidity on my part--that's what happens when I talk on the phone and type at the same time! I'll be fixing my signature now….

    Hi, YippeeSkippy (lol, love it). Thanks for the warm welcome :) I've attached one of the images of the pool that as used in the original home listing recently. I hope to get a treasure chest shaped cooler to float around in the pool at some point--someone even suggested a plank to be walked off...

    Hello, TFP members. As the topic states, my husband and I are new pool owners. We just bought our first home in the SF/East Bay Area, which has a 13,000K+ pool. I'm hoping this forum will provide some helpful tips! Our pool is actually in fairly good condition in terms of the bones and...
