That makes a lot of sense. So I am guessing I am kind of screwed then. I will talk to the pool builder but I doubt he will do anything about it. I guess we will find out soonish. Thank you so much for explaining things to me. I feel better about things. I will post pictures of the progress as...

AJW22, It is a cantilevered deck. I will read the article you posted. Thanks for your response. My biggest concern is I do not understand how this is a fix. How does the new gunite that will be sprayed bond with the existing that will now be above and below it? It'll have two seams. Then, how...

Hello smart folks of TFP, I've had a struggle with my pool for over a year now. We kept losing water and eventually it was proven that the shell is cracked. It's been cracked for over a year, close to 18 months. Luckily this is all under warranty and isn't costing me anything, yet. The...

Im pretty sure it can. I never thought of that. Feel like an idiot. I’ll mess with it and see what happens. I also have a robot I can drop in to keep the leaves and stuff off the bottom.

Yes, we have two drains at the floor of the pool. I bought a floating dispenser and put two pucks in it hoping it would help. I’m not sure it will do anything.

Hi folks. For the past year or little more we have been noticing water loss that was more than normal. When contacted the pool builder because our pool was only 2 years old. They said it was due to a leak where the skimmer was and they fixed it up. When we got in the pool last summer we saw a 4’...

Any updates?

Yeah, I’m understanding the frustration people have with pool stores. I appreciate your quick response!

Thank you!! I believe it. They had her buy this but in a 5lb bag: https://pinchapenny.com/shop/suncoast-stabilizer-conditioner-1-lb-pour-and-go.html And this: Suncoast Total Alkalinity Increaser I will get her to try that. We will order her test kit and she agreed to learn to use it so that...

Hello folks! I’m at my moms house and her pool became cloudy after a trip and some advice from a pool store. I didn’t bring my test kit so we are relying on pinch a penny test results. I don’t live close enough to go home and get it. Next trip I’ll bring one and teach her to use it. But for now...

I found a ring-necked snake in there and a ton of frogs but that is about it. We bought a frog log and I haven't had to rescue or remove any more frogs in the last few months. There was a 5.5' alligator in the pond but a neighbor reported it and they removed it. :(

As of today we passed our final inspection and our permit is closed out!! We are officially done!

Our PB wanted $1000 to go from 6' to 7' and our pool ended up closer to 6.6' and we did NOT pay for an upgrade. I'm 6' and when I stand at the bottom of the pool there is a hold hand above me before I break the water.

I'm trying a cheap way out. Amazon.com: Kona Submariner Large Waterproof Phone Pouch - Swipe Sideways On Any iPhone, Samsung To Take Photos - Universal Pouch Bag For Cell Phones with Case Up to 7.2 inch Diagonal I just got it today so if the weather stays clear we will be jumping in later and...

@PoolGate thats funny. I’m sure you’ll hear crickets from them. SetSailSoon recommended seaLife and I really like the idea of it. Now I just have to justify the $300 in my head for a case. Any other recommendations for an underwater cam?

Thanks everyone! I really like the idea of the GoPro snorkel mount. The hero 7 black is nicely priced at less than $200. I might go that route. I never heard of SeaLife brand. I’ll check it out.

Hey folks! I’m curious what about underwater cameras. I’m not brave enough to use my phone and research is mixed. Do we just buy a GoPro or some cheaper version? What do you all use? I’m not attempting to be a professional photographer, just take some fun pics and videos of the kids in the pool.

That is a good idea, but I doubt the HOA would approve it since they are working to keep all houses with a very similar aesthetic. I really like that idea though. I think all houses in this neighborhood have the dark window frames. I think they have a great chance to win tonight. If they come...
