Good morning my fellow pool nerds! I was a bad girl over winter :( Normally it isn't too bad and I start pulling pool out of hibernation when everyone changes time in March but this year AZ weather was broken and it stayed cold for quite a while. Well cold for me anyway so I got started much...

Hi my friends ❤️ I just wanted to introduce a friend of mine @navymom2016 that I introduced to TFP last week.. I'm sure she will have questions for you guys as she begins learning about her pool & how to keep it troublefree!!! First thing I got her to do was get the kit of course.. of course...

For years, I have lurked on this part of the forum living vicariously through everyone else secretly wanting to be able to build a pool and make decisions myself. Unfortunately, while still not doing a new build, I now have the opportunity to renovate our pool and yard, so that is the goal...

Need some help :) I am pretty handy when given instruction and I would like to take care of this leak. Seems like there is always a leak with this old equipment lol Last year, I had contacted landlord and she had someone come out and redo plumbing so I can at least backwash now but of course...

Figured I would put this here so that newbies can follow as well :) so my pool has seen much better days lol It has been a weird winter here in SoCal and we have been bombarded with rain (imagine that!). I have had to drain the pool considerably 6 times already and at that point I decided to...

Not really an "oasis" but for now it's ours lol I decided that this year, I wanted to redo what little area we have and make it more inviting. Ignore the rug on the fence lol This is how it looks today and I will update this thread all weekend as I will be working all weekend on it :)...

Soooooo... I was going to try and replace this ladder and figured that we could do it ourselves and spare my landlord the hassle.. Interestingly enough, when I have read/watched on how to remove these, nothing resembles ours and I can't figure out how to remove it. Any ideas??? Sent...

I need help :) We rent a home with in ground pool and in ground spa. The spa has never been touched and since the issues with the landlord's pool guy arose, I don't think he ever properly maintained it. The valve that diverts to the spa broke and he didn't replace it. We waited for well...

Hey there :) So it has been 2 years since I needed help lol a lot is different now - we moved back to sunny California and are currently in the LA vicinity. We rented a wonderful house with a beautiful pool. With our rent came a pool guy included.. little did I know how clueless and...

Ok so hubby and I have been talking. We decided that next year we should consider getting a bigger pool :party: I have only had 2 Intex pools (one blow up and now the 14ft one) so bear that in mind :oops: Of course I have read tons on here over and over again.. but I still have NO IDEA...

So tried to install the larger adapters. Had my son inside the pool with a bowl and I marked the outline. Began cutting the hole and my son sneezed pushing the bowl and inevitably where I was cutting. Made a nice slash. Ran around and found patches to cover it up and got those on :/ Now I am...

I am so glad I stumbled on this site. I almost threw my pool away. I read every inch of this site and absorbed what I could and decided to try and salvage what I had. I won't go into details (you can read those) but it was bad- really bad. After piecing together the information from here and...

So in the process of getting my pool squared away. I bought this pump and took it out of the box today and hooked it up using the adapters to connect to my pool instead of cutting it. A couple of issues.. 1. There is a leak from a hose connector that runs from the prefilter side to the sand...

Ok if you see my other thread (in signature) you will see what I started with. We dumped it, re-leveled the ground and got it back up. It has been filling since early morning. As the water is getting ready to go above the intake for the filter (finally I can start it soon), I wanted to get a...

but you had to look anyway :mrgreen: In my determination to get my pool right and fixed (you can see my thread in signature). I have determined I am missing a couple of the plastic footings on the legs (of course I am). While I finally located a replacement part from Intex for it - there...

I purchased this last week and it is still in the box while I get my pool cleaned and releveled out. The plug on the outside of my house is no longer working so I will be replacing that. The housing unit that covered the receptacle (with the weather proof lid) would not fit the plug that came...

Hi everyone. I am new but have been reading this site feverishly for about a week (lucky internet stumble). So let me give a little background. I have an Intex 14 x 48 that we bought last summer. I had spent about a week leveling the ground and even though it wasn't perfect it wasn't...
