Considering a platform build like this great one, but it will just be for lounging in the pool. I think I will try attaching suction cup bath mats to the bottom... hoping it will keep it stationary without having to add a weight. Anyone have any updated builds like this? Sooo ready for...

Starting my search for a new pump and filter system. So I'm looking for some buyer feedback. Current pump still works (at least it did when I closed the pool last fall), but it's a single speed. I'm gonna go for the 2-speed, hopefully be a bit more energy efficient? And currently using the...

*Warning* You might grab a snack. This is a chaotic post, but I really would like some feedback. Please and Thank you. Pool has been increasingly hazy (now cloudy) since the weekend. SUNDAY-MONDAY: testing water seemed futile, as I had to order new R-0870 But went ahead and started adding a...

Upgraded my OG steps this season to these Confer steps... nothing wrong with the first ones, I just didn't like them. But, luckily, my friend can use them in her AGP, so it'll work great for her. SO, as I was unboxing and assembling the new steps, I realized I ordered the WRONG ones.:unsure: 2...

First post of the season... but I'm here every day learning/lurking.I'm mid-opening and this will be my 3rd yr using the TFP method. I never seem to start out right, but get a clean, clear pool in the end. Today, in one of my sweeping sessions(3rd of the day), I noticed these clumps of muck...

Day 6 of SLAM and I can see the pool floor finally! Just finished 6th gal of Chlorine, keeping the SLAM level at 12, and water still cloudy but getting better every day. I think I could do better with the brushing?‍♀️ Question of the day: My ladder has NOT been in the pool at all through this...

Facts as of right now: 1. Pool was partially drained at closing last year as I was running the Pristine Blue system and want to change over to bleach/chlorine this season. 2. Pool is now ridiculously green due to poor cover removal...all the debris was dumped into my CLEAN water and turned...

My name is Mandy, and I'm an newbie. This will be my 2nd season as a pool owner, but frankly I'm scared to open my pool up! I creeped this site a bit last year and loved reading all the helpful info in Pool School and the forums. I ran the Pristine chemical system last year, but DO NOT want to...
