    Landscaping around softside

    Hey all. So......I have the Intex listed in my signature. I am unsure about what to use near the soft side by the ground. I thought about rubber mulch on top of heavy weed mat but I am still nervous about anything rubbing on the poolside. We do not have kids so it is usually only us older...

    Looking for ways to add automation to my pool

Hindsight....been looking to get something to put a blink on demand camera to check in on my pump screen to see what mode it's in. (Intex =...

    Finally tried new plumbing

    Hey everyone. Trying out some new plumbing in hopes of postponing buying a new pump/filter/swg setup. I added a heater this year so did my best on plumbing. Looking for better ideas if mine isn't up to snuff.

    Intex leak on seam

    Flex seal tape on the inside. It's very rubbery and sticks so good. It is also thick. Maybe even thicker than the liner. I used it to fix a few things...blow up 10 foot tall Snoopy, 24" dog pool on the radius, inside my lawn mower tire (rear) from a roofing nail. Be sure it is dry for best...
