I started the process of sanding down my slide to prep for paint today. First priority was to sand down to the main crack at the bottom center of the slide. I figured I should go through all paint layers in order to really get a good connection with the epoxy. However, part of me feels like I...

I had a pool guy come by to diagnose a leak. While we were talking afterward I mentioned I was going to paint the slide soon. He offered me two gallons of blue paint for $10 each that he said he were otherwise not going to find a use. When he brought the paint by later my wife was home so he...

I am looking to restore my pool slide and, while there is a great thread on this site for restoring slides, none of the posts that I could see addressed restoring the slide WITHOUT removing the slide. I am looking to sand the whole thing, patch up a crack with marine-grade epoxy, and then paint...

I have looked around to see if anyone had asked this before, but as far as I can tell it hasn't been covered in terms of what I wanted to ask. I have some clearly aged pvc coping around the pool. I also have a bit of a gap between where the liner sits and the coping in the corners that ants and...

I live on the islands in Savannah and we're heading out tonight because of Matthew so I will not be here to run the waste function on the pump as water levels rise. I am looking to drain the pool to prevent major overflow, but I'm fearful of causing a problem with it "popping". It is a vinyl...

I bought a new house last fall that has a pool slide and when I finally gave her a good scrubbing/cleaning I realized there is about a 1.5" inch crack in the middle at the very bottom. Because the house is a bit of a fixer-upper, it has been on the back burner for some time. I'd now like to...

I'm fairly confident this is an easy one, but my pool's eyeballs, when fully tightened, are pointed straight out. In a previous post, someone felt the location of dead algae in the pool indicated they were pointed incorrectly and should be pointed toward the center of the pool so that debris...

Hello to everyone, I have been finding info from this site consistently that has aided in my (mostly) successful pool opening, so I want to say thank you to all who have contributed to this site already! I now have a sparkling clear pool that is extremely inviting, except for one small...
