I'm in my first summer season with the new pool and having way more water loss than I was planning. I think the problem is that we've had little rain and have been consistently between 95-100 for weeks (with no end in sight) Is there anything I can do to mitigate this? Has anyone used the...

This is also an elegant solution. That said, our covers are integrated into the stamped concrete, so replacements would not have the same aesthetic impact.

I'll concur with Geebot on the ORBI products. I have a 3-unit ORBI network in the house and have no problem with wifi throughout the yard and pool area.

Brilliant :) Thank you. Are hair nets basically all the same size and all good to go?

I'm about to place an order for 3 frog ramps for my in-ground pool. They always seem thrilled to be rescued, but I hate if I ever miss them. I'm also thinking about a couple of skimmer add-ons and want to know if there are pros or cons to either. Vortex Skimmer basket: I'd like to have more...

This might be a good plan. The last time we did this, we got stuck with someone who wouldn't furnish the plan if we didn't use them to execute it. We'll be more careful if we go this way again. I'm totally on board with this. I'm a fan of xeriscaping: low maintenance, perennial, self...

I wholly agree with the analogy. And it would offer “some” privacy, but the height of the houses and decks mean that neighbors would likely still see into the pool proper. Good idea, though.

It would be convenient to have a space that guests can use without going into the house. I also like the idea of providing a path of less resistance to a restroom.

We are liking your little building! We have to one step at a time some things with the HOA, but that would be a good add. Is the area with the door a plumbed room or a storage room?
