How do I remove this coping to fix my liner? Also I want to paint the coping and I was wondering if it would be worth taking off all of it to paint or if I should just leave it on and paint it.

Hi there! We have had a VERY mild winter here in the northern panhandle of WV and my pool is already very green. I am itching (like a lot of other people) to open very early this year, mostly because last year I waited until end of May and it took me 2-3 weeks to get the water clear. My...

Thanks for the warning - I made sure I bought pool grade! HTH D.E. Filter Aid - it worked like a charm too.

Thanks for the advice! I decided to just order a smaller box of D.E. from Walmart.

I was looking for some pool stools and these came up: https://siestakeypoolstool.com/products/2-pack-white-in-ground-pool-stools-w-free-beach-towel The instructions say that you fill the bottom with rocks, then let the stool fill up with water from your pool. Not sure how this would work ---...

I went to a pool store to buy DE to put in my sand filter to help with cloudiness but they only have 25lb bags of it. They suggested using Caribbean Blue Sand Assist if I wanted a smaller bag of something. However I haven't seen anything on this forum about people using it. I am guessing it's a...

That is also what I was thinking. Back in the filter it goes. Thanks so much. You're always a great help!

I pulled all the sand out my filter to check the laterals because I got some sand in my pool while slamming it (laterals are perfectly fine). While I have it out, should I replace it? Here is a pic of the sand after I deep cleaned it (running a hose under it and letting the water run until it...

They ended up flooding the intake and ran the pump and got it running. Still not sure about that plumbing set up but we'll see if it keeps up!

THANK YOU so much for your advice! 1- Yes! 2- No weir door so we're good! 3 - All winter plugs removed.... they found 3 plugs: one in the skimmer (gizmo) and 2 along the side of the pool. Is there anywhere else they should look? I only have 2 jets in my pool but maybe theirs has more? 4 - I...

- - Posting for a friend - - not my pump These are new pool owners BTW. Of course I am trying to teach them the ways of TFP ;) Their pool pump will not draw from the skimmer. It is a Hayward Super Pump pictured here: Info my friend's pool: 24,000 gallon oval pool with a deep end, Hayward...

Hi everyone! I've had a pool for a few years now and recently got a fancy new job and a bump in pay... so you know what that means: I gotta buy more fancy pool stuff. Also I JUST learned that robotic cleaners have their own built-in filter system - I thought you still had to do the whole...

Menard's in Wheeling, West Virginia has gallon of 12% chlorine for $3.99. Dates were good.
