    Pollen (?) ring around the pool

    Well...you really do not need my input at this point, cause by now I'm sure you know that is Pollen. I'm just a few hours north of you, and the pine pollen has been worse than normal this year. Ive learned now (the hard way) to follow the TFP method. It will prevent the problems associated with...

    What did you do to your pool today?

    If it makes you feel any better ( probably not), I did the same thing here in Florida. The pine pollen has turned the sides of my pool yellow....

    DIY Pool Umbrella

    I was looking to do the same thing until I ran across this. Living in Florida this sunshade has been a lifesaver. You can find them on Amazon for about $30.00 ProSource Sand Color 16' Oversized Sun Shade Sail Shade canopy Sun Shelter

    New Pump

    Just my 2 cents....VS is the way to go. I went with the 2 speed Pentair. Nice pump but the energy savings are much better with the VS as the experts have already mentioned above.

    Jets jets and more jets...

    Insurance company made me take it out, long story.... An added bonus I noticed yesterday any leaves or anything, its gets pushed to the shallow end very quickly.

    Just joined from Macclenny Florida

    Just wanted to say thanks for the great advise. I finished my rebuild (finally)... The 36" filter is perfect. The pumping station didn't turn out like it was originally planned due to height issue with the pump and the original water supply pipes...however it's working great, and pushes all 24...

    Jets jets and more jets...

    I finished rebuilding my pumping station. The 3hp Pentair pushes all 24 jets really good...The 8 jets on the back wall push a lot of water but not enough for resistance swimming ( bummed)... But it all makes since now.....the diving board I took out although very old was a spring board. It never...

    Insurance & Diving Boards

    Re: Diving Boards When I bought my house, Farmers said I had to take it out, along with all of the other Insurance companies we went to. We have a 40x20 with a 12 foot deep end, and it still didn't matter. I had always had USAA, but I live in Florida and when we moved they wouldn't cover the...

    Pros & Cons of Flagstone Decking?

    Our pavers get too hot to walk on with bare feet during the summer. We didn't think about it when we bought the pool, cause it looked so nice, but they really hold the heat. I live in north Florida so I'm sure there is some difference in Tennessee, but thought I would give you my two cents worth.
