Just returned from two week vacation to find my green pool. No surprise. Started slamming and scrubbing and backwashing to clear pool back to blue. I've had a leak that has been slow since right before closing last year but figured I'd find it this year. Current issue: Pool is loosing water...

So I think i'd like to say using a sand filter. My investment on sand is quite minimal though IF I get another sand filter I will reuse the 9$ in sand I have purchased. It may be possible to fix the mid-body leak of my existing filter by way of using a fiberglass repair kit. I used to work with...

This guy! I did hardly any research! I bought this pump because it was a deal, it had better efficiency than what I had before, and a higher flowrate. I recently came back to a green pool after vacation so i slammed it and killed the algae, no issues! Pump ran for a full week with no...

Big fan of Pool Pal by Pirates Love Bacon.. Many of my pool friends wish there was something like it for IOS any ideas.. the main feature that is the best is the ability to track.. I have put in my reviews of Pool pal a desire to support the developer in some way because he or she is AWESOME.

Thank you so much for the awesome suggestions. You are not at all to late. I am still planning on what to do. All the suggestions are really helping me formulate a plan!! I will certainly look into the detail on the South fence line. I like the idea of putting those small rock beds with...

Believe it or not I pressure washed the deck around the pool last year.. but after I opened it this year the deck had quite a bit of discoloration where the tarp was. Though once I add the top to the existing fence I will certainly need to pressure wash the fence to make it look remotely decent!

Just curious if you got your pool up this year and how it's looking. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

So I removed my drain and afixed two pieces of pipe only two screws retain the drain cover. Initially I had just the single piece of PVC attached as shown. The cleaner still climbed up on top of it. Thus the use of the second vertical. I think I like the idea of using a 4" cap cut down. I may...

I am quite grateful of all the ideas. I am liking the idea of uprooting all of the crate myrtles and holly around the north end near and around the storage shed and leading upto the storage shed following the west fence line from the edge of the edging that remains from the forgotten flower bed...

Thank you for your kind reply, sorry it has taken so long to get back to you. I live in Memphis, TN. I don't have a desire or no desire to attract anything in particular. It would be awesome to hide the storage shed. Primarily I would like to create more privacy on the north and south ends of...

I really do like the rocks around the rosebush. but everything else is negotiable. We don't make a ton of money, thus the reason I keep my pool the TFP way!!, but I have been gifted 400$ to redo my backyard landscape. I do plan to put a fence around that equipment pad. Basically We bought the...
