    Pump/Filter under a deck?

    I have mine under the deck and a hatch to accces everthing. Works great for me. One thing i wish i had done is put a second gate off the deck close to the pump. When i have to turn off the pump to get a full skimmer basket out to empty i have to walk out the deck gate and around to the pump to...

    Tile mural inlay in concrete - how do I proceed?

    My first thought was do the easy route. Put down something like these glass pebbles they sell in bags for landscaping and set the turtle in the middle flush like a stepping stone. Then you can just scoop all out if need to access the area again...

    Build Deck now or wait on the Pool to be totally up?

    I would do it after the pool is up, especially if you are matching the angles

    Is it time to maintain a full shock level or just one dose?

    Thanks, did another OCLT last night and no chlorine loss, so must be the pollen. Any sign of green makes me jump up and take notice:mrgreen::mrgreen:

    Waterfall question

    My waterfall happens to be across the pool from my skimmer and has no problems with skimming. Actually the water coming out is forced across the pool and skims out bettter than it does going in a circular pattern as it forces the debris that would normally stay in the center of the pool across...

    Is this Poop?

    I have toads (not frogs) that leave poop that looks something similar (but actually a little bigger) toads are active and come out at night and usually hide during the day

    Mesh seam winter cover

    I Have never winterized a pool and am trying to figure out how a mesh center seam on some covers works. More specifically, what do you do with all the water in the pool that drains into your pool thru this mesh seam over the winter? With no pump hooked up to drain down water accumilating into...

    Expected life of winter cover

    I would get the extra winter cover for the big discount for sure and keep it somewhere other than the attic. if it's brand new in the box store it under your bed or somewhere. It would be fine for storing since it won't be the elements or get sun damage.

    waterfall

    Very nice job! I have a railing edge across the pool from my waterfall that i was able to discretely ziptie some powerful solar spotlights on to that shine on the waterfall at night and light it all up (without shining in the eyes of those on the observation deck side) It was difficult to light...

    Aqua bug cleaner- anyone know the mystery?

    Got an Aqua Bug vacuum with my pool package. Have watched it run a few times and just can't fugure out what pattern this thing runs around in the pool. Do the antenna actually do anything besides make it look like a bug? Does it just "randomlly" move around by water being sucked thru it or...

    Rounding the Corner... Install Completed 7/27/13

    Re: Rounding the Corner to a New Pool Build Can't wait to see the walls up. Right after you are done, don't forget to get some grass seed with straw thrown down on top of the seed on that nicely leveled dirt yard before rains start wshing you gulleys into it, looks like a nice shady spot where...
