Hi everyone! Originally, we were never really big pool people but the house came with a concrete inground pool, "as-is". (lesson learned!) We spent a lot of money restoring it (with a lot of help from this community!) with a new vinyl liner, new hayward sand filter and pump, etc. hoping for...

Hi, turns out we did that and it worked for a short while but now we're noticing that the pump stops working during the day. yesterday it tripped our breaker. I We haven't vaccumed for a few days and it doesn't seem like there's enough debris in there to cause a clog. This is frustrating...

Thank you for the feedback!

Wow! Thank you for this great detail!!! I was looking into the solar "blanket" (I think that's what it is lol) and was going to get a reel to go with it. Total cost was probably around $500-600. Here's the one I was looking at: Clear Diamond Solar Cover 20' x 40' Rectangular 16 Carat -...

Hi Ladies and Gents, Have another few questions about our pump and filter and we hope you can provide some insight. Our pump seems to lose prime and/or trip the breaker every couple of days, especially after heavy rains. This is usually indicated by either a still pool (when breaker trips)...

Oh, another update. We can't do much about the tree trimming. The trees are too tall and too big to remove. It's about 1500 per free :( So we're back to solar vs freezing lol

Thank you everyone, I think we are definitely getting one but we do have a diving board so I don't think the reel would work as I'm sure it doesn't make sense to go over it because air will escape in between. Is there a big difference between the full cover vs the rings that are magnetic?

Hi All, I was here last year with a green monster, we tossed that one and got all new this year. So with that said, we have a TON of trees and not alot of sun to heat the pool. Since we dropped 10k on getting this pool up and running, we don't have the money to buy an expensive heater this...

Hi! I just wanted to say thanks for your thoughts last year. We just opened our pool and back in action.

Hi All, So the second pool company confirmed what the first said. 1--Can't really pull that liner up, too risky since it's old and brittle and the water is so high. 2--The drain is a wash, tho they didn't have the pressure gauge to check it. Sooooo here we are still the same, the levels...

Thanks all, we have a pool company coming tomorrow to give us a second opinion about our drain line. Fingers crossed, we can fix that as I'm sure that will help expedite things. I'm also going to ask them about the liner. The last pool company was GOING to help w the liner but due to the...

Hi Jay, yes it's been a strain to say the least. It's all about managing our expectations and balancing making the right decisions. I appreciate your thoughts. - - - Updated - - - Here's some photos of the new liner issue. If anyone is savvy in this area of pool expertise, please comment...

Thanks, yea we definitely do. It really stinks, to say that we have buyers remorse on this house is UNDERSTATEMENT of the year :(

Hi all, Update Day 6 of SLAM and pretty much the same here. https://imgur.com/a/Mg2rb8T My hubs say it's a tad lighter when he goes to check it at 6pm but I don't see it. On top of this issue, we've been having issues with the siding on the pool (not sure of the proper term) but it was...
