    best pool design for lots of leaves

    I'd love to see someone on here come up with something. That's interesting about the conveyor belt and water treatment plants. I still keep thinking about the simplicity of gutter leaf guards I guess it's not that easy in real life. If there's any way to get the experts I'm here thinking about...

    best pool design for lots of leaves

    I see what you are saying - was hoping some type of gutter leaf guard for pool troughs had already been designed and proven. I can see how a blanket of wet leaves would have water splashing or flowing where its not supposed to. Since the pool area is very close and visible to the back of the...

    best pool design for lots of leaves

    We have had an above ground pool for almost 25 years and are thinking about changing it up. The pool area is surrounded by trees, some hanging over the pool, so lots of leaves falling into the pool begins in august when trees get stressed (texas). I am curious if infinity pools have ever been...

    Best Cleaners for Above Ground 24 ft Round Pool?

    Pool rover works well for us too - just dislike dealing with the cord that is always getting tangled and twisted. Have started using the basic rechargeable cleaner from aiper and am loving it (no cord) although it doesnt get the fine material the pool rover did with the cloth filter to catch...

    Pool Refresh

    Interesting comment of adding salt to a non-salt pool to give it the feeling of a water softener! How much salt per 10,000 gallons would be the limit?

    Cleaner gets stuck in sink hole

    When it gets warm, I will give it a go! I am curious - your bio says above ground resin - do you still have a liner? I am not up to date with the latest tech and would love to have an above ground without a liner and center drain, if there is such a thing. Thank you!

    Cleaner gets stuck in sink hole

    the diameter of the indentation is about 2 ft and on a slant. Trying to not put anymore pressure on the hole but perhaps coarse sand isnt much heavier than the water? I like the idea of covering it with wood or plexiglass with edges covered with plastic tubing and weighing it in place. thank you!

    Cleaner gets stuck in sink hole

    Thats a thought, especially if I covered the edges of the plywood or plexiglass with soft rubber. Unfortunately, the hole isn't consistent and is on a slant, but this is worth a try. Thank you!

    Skimmer Help Question

    Hello, Please excuse my ignorance but am curious about "semi inground". We have an above ground, surrounded by a deck, and are interested in options to convert to a linerless shell. Is that what oasis is? does it have a center drain? Thank you for any insight

    Cleaner gets stuck in sink hole

    Hello, For about 4 years now, there is a 2' dia, and 1.5' deep sink hole in 34' dia pool with a deep end in the middle. The sink hole is on the slanted part going down to the deep area. Probably from a tree stump that is finally rotting or got exposed when the deep end was dug many years ago...
