Opened the pool April 20 and finished slamming the pool May 15. I had not opened the pool in 2 years. It was pretty nasty. I was vacuuming the pool and brushing a lot. The liner was over 20 yrs old. Bleached completely white. I must have nicked it or something and developed a huge gash. I...

Opened the pool 6/14/18. Pool has not been opened in 2 years. I was beginning to wonder if it was ever going to clear up. The pool just did not act like the first 2 years I opened the pool. It has finally cleared and passed the slam but is a blue/green color. Started researching trying to...

This is our 5th year with an old ingroud pool. 1st year was so easy using the methods used on this website. 2nd year the pool fought me the whole year. I don't know what was different that year. I did everything the same as the first. The pool has not been opened in the last 2 years. I...

This is how everything was hooked up when we bought the house last year. Does this look like it would be easy to hook up? The current timer does not work. This is hooked up in the garage by the pool. Forgive my descriptions if they are incorrect. It has the wires from the breaker. Wires that...

A chaise lounge chair My wife requested. She said she wants 3 more. It will have to wait until winter. It's too hot in the garage right now. Not fine furniture but easy to build. Plans were from Anna White. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Not too healthy but mine would be the following: Medium Bone-In Ribeye Baked Potato with butter Buttered Texas Toast Butterfinger Cake Sweet Tea with Lemon Now I'm hungry!

I have been running it without the eyeball. That's the way it was when I bought the house last year. I went to the pool store and bought one they had. I believe it's a 3/4" opening. Filter pressure starts at 15psi clean and when I installed the eyeball it jumped up to 20psi. The water looked...

My slide pump has been leaking since we bought the house last year. Last year it dripped pretty good but I didn't want to mess with it. I was worried about learning how to take care of the pool first. This year when I turned it on, it wouldn't even work. Had to take the back cover off and spin...

My pool does not have any lights. I would like to light it up at night. Can anybody recommend any lights you have used and had success with?

Another success story! Sorry for the bad pics. First pic is after we bought the house and uncovered the pool. It was in pretty bad shape. If it was not for this website, I would not have been able to do this alone. I had no clue when I started. Because of the wonderful members here passing on...

I am definitely a night owl. I don't work in the summer and usually go to bed between 2:00-3:00am and get up between 10:00-11:00am. I just feel better when I'm on this time. When I head back to work in the fall, it's a struggle to get up at 5:00am all year.

I noticed the last few days the pool has not been sparkling and crisp like it usually is. The water has felt a little slick or greasy to me. I have been needing to add CYA for awhile but it has rained solid for the last 2.5wks. When I opened the pool it had 0 CYA. I had some issues with the...

Just noticed today that I have two holes in my liner. One is about the size of a dime with a tiny small crack in the bottom of the hole. The other hole is half the size of the first one. Both are just above the water line. The liner looks pretty old. It's all white below the water line...

Turned the pump on about 7:00 tonight and noticed a little later it wasn't running. Checked the breaker and nothing was tripped. Flipped a switch and tried using the timer that it's wired to. It turned on and ran for maybe a minute and turned off. The motor was really hot! It won't do...

Opened the pool with zero last year and zero this year. I tried to get it to 30ppm last year but I never got it even close to 30ppm I guess. After reading about pucks and too much CYA I scared my self in not putting much in the pool. How much stabilizer does a manually dossed pool need. I...

First, I would like to thank everyone who contributes to this website. It has helped me tremendously over the past year. We closed on our first house with a pool last June. Didn't have a clue how to take care of a pool. Found the website researching pools. I hired the local pool store to...
