    Stuck Return Plugs

    Good Morning, This was my first year closing the pool and the only plugs I could get to fit are shown in the attached picture. Well in retrospect, these are very hard to get out. I believe the harder I pull on the end, the tighter it tries to grip. Any recommendations from anyone? I have tried...

    Vinyl liner pool parts arrived earlier than expected. Wasn't planning to start the build until after winter, but now have the itch...

    I have a much more mild climate in VA and that is what I did. If you have time to get it done right, I would say go for it. That also allows any potential settling to occur over the winter before you pour the deck.

    Hi Everyone. I have seen this topic come up a couple times so I thought I would post what I have done as the plumb strip really looks terrible in my opinion. Backstory, I spent 4 months building my fiberglass pool last year because I have young kids and could only do it a couple hours at a time...

My question goes out to those with this configuration with the following: 1) do you run treated water to...

    SWG and Bees

    Hello everyone. Just installed a pool this year and we are loving it. The only issue we are having is swarming bees hanging out to drink the salt water. These seem to be honey bees so I think someone close must have a honey operation going. They are friendly for the most part but I seem to get...

    Crooked Skimmer

    Hi everyone, I have a recently installed fiberglass pool. I purchase from the pool maker and installed myself. The pool came with the skimmer installed and it is about 3/4” out of level relative to the pool. I won’t waste my breathe on the pool maker as I know they won’t do anything for me. The...
