I live near Nashville TN and I keep my pool running and open all winter. It looks like we will have prolonged periods of well below freezing temps starting Monday. I survived the major freeze a year ago but I never lost power. Hopefully there is no ice or freezing rain, and it’s just snow. My...

I had a weird problem recently, I found some random rubber piece floating in my skimmer. I had no idea where it came from or what is was. I thought maybe it was a piece off the weir door of the skimmer. I searched TFP for “rubber piece” and found an old thread about a piece coming off a...

Has anyone used a pool light lens cover before? I saw a blue one on amazon for $5 Used-Like New so I ordered one. It snapped right on and it really changed the look of the pool. I love the darker blue color! It isn’t so bright and i’m hoping the bugs aren’t as bad. See before and after pics below …

I’m starting to see single digits in the forecast near Nashville starting Thursday and lasting several days. My pump runs 24/7 and I didn’t have a problem last winter. I’m prepared to winterize if power goes out. I have a shed covering my pool equipment as well. Should I worry about freezing...

We have a neighbor with a 30k gallon vinyl liner pool. She has been shocking once a week, using test strips, using PH up/down, TA up/down, and some type of chlorine granules I think. I just tested her water and these are the results … I told her to quit using shock and get liquid chlorine. Pool...

I bought a new Pentair Warrior SE from Marina in Nov 2020 for my new fiberglass pool. I always keep it cleaned out and hanging in my equipment shed. It was a little sluggish over the winter while I kept my pool open but I just figured it was the cold water. It would just get stuck in the shallow...

I’ve been getting lots of sand in my pool, even after I vacuum it out to waste. Now my pump is losing its prime at lower rpm’s. My sand filter seems to be making noises when I speed up my VS pump. Can I just remove the top of the sand filter and take a look in there? My pool is only a year old...

My fiberglass pool in TN was installed last December and I kept it open without a cover during the winter. The equipment wasn’t hooked up til spring but I kept the water sparkling with the help of TFP during the winter. I’m planning to winterize myself while keeping the pool uncovered this...

We had 4 inches of rain yesterday so I backwashed my filter and noticed sand on the ground where the end of my backwash pipe was located. My fiberglass pool was installed last November. My filter pressure has never really risen so I’ve only backwashed a few times. I use skimmer socks that catch...

My fiberglass pool is starting to get a tan/brownish color all the way around under the waterline. My pool math numbers have been pretty consistent since install last December. Any ideas?

Final grading is being done today to complete my new fiberglass pool near Nashville TN. I elected to keep equipment turned off and closed through the winter. I have a SWG but I am using liquid chlorine this winter. I got some stabilizer also to get my CYA levels up after initial fill. I also...

I signed my contract this April and our fiberglass install is scheduled for November near Nashville TN. A neighbor just called my PB and the wait is now until Fall 2021 simply because of the high demand. I know some places have a back log due to manufacturing shut downs due to Covid. How is it...
