    Help me make the perfect pool, well maybe

    The rock isn't for diving, purely a feature. The islands here are full of boulders so people encorporate them into everything. However, safety is a good point and didn't think of it like that.

    Replastering a pool

    Hi. Simple question, just don't know the answer! Can you apply a new coat of Diamond Brite over an existing diamond brite or do you need to remove the old diamond brite down to the concrete? Customer doesn't like the colour she's had for years and wants to change. Thanks

    Leaking pool with incorrect setup! Help

    The house had guests in it this week who decided to run the overflow so the small pool is nice and clean, however the large pool is now rather dirty. Am i right in thinking it would make sense to have a skimmer in the other corner of the large pool? Thanks

    Clarification on shocking

    It looks great again thanks Richard. I've had a few issues in the past, but confident I can keep on top of it all now. Of course unless we get another hurricane like last year! I had a tree break into the pool and dumped if I remember right, was about 5 trash cans of leaves into the pool! Would...
