    PAL LED lighting not switching colors

    Does anyone have a PAL light (ours is a TREO I think)with a PCR8A Commander box? Since we opened the pool a few weeks ago the light will not change colors. When I hold the + on the remote I can hear something in the box clicking and the light will blink like it wants to switch colors but...

    HOA legal-eze

    We have a situation that I'm wondering if anyone has dealt with regarding an HOA. We built our pool in 2015 and our HOA only allowed for in-ground pools at the time. They have just sent a proposed amendment out to allow above ground pools. We are fine with them allowing above-ground pools...

    How do you keep ladders and railings shiny?

    How do you keep your ladders and railings shiny? Ours have water spots all over them and I can't keep them looking clean. Is there anything I can apply to them to help them keep their shine? Yes, I know that sounds OCD but with my sparkly TFP pool I want my equipment to look the same way...

    Anyone with ivory swirl travertine?

    Does anyone have ivory swirl travertine pavers for their decking? We currently have 3ft of poured concrete in broom finish around our pool and would like to add an additional 4ft of deck on each side. I don't really like the concrete or the thought of adding more. It is hot and rough on our...

    White scale in new fiberglass pool! HELP!

    Our pool was just cleaned by the PB this week and we were given clearance to get in and swim. I noticed quickly as the water started to clear from the dirt that he stirred up that there was a white line around the pool. After reading a bunch, I'm assuming this is calcium buildup from the...

    Getting that TFP sparkle!

    Yesterday was finally the day where the PB came to clean the pool after concrete was poured. Up until then the pool has sat with water below the skimmer non-circulating since 8/27. With advice here, I added bleach daily, swept and ran a sump pump to try to keep water issues to a minimum. It was...

    New Pool - how to maintain non-circulating water?

    Our 12,000 gallon inground pool was installed this week and we were advised not to swim in it until they concrete is poured so that it is securely locked into place. They filled it with water just below the skimmer, so there is nothing circulating. I presume this is because the concrete will...
