Hi Team, my father-in-law is in need of someone who services McKinney, TX to repair an equipment/PVC leak. The person I typically use has not been responding. I welcome your feedback. :) Thank you!

HI, I need to re-secure my skimmer ring to my pool deck as it comes out with each time I remove the lid for the basket. Even more troublesome is that my dogs trip over it and risk breaking a leg :( Is there a recommended product and means of securing the ring back to the pool deck? Big thanks!

Hi, Looks like there have been several updates to the site. I used to be able to find things pretty easily and now I'm hunting :( with no luck. I finally, found this link to the Extended Test Kit Directions and some of the links (which aren't obvious because the no longer are traditional links...

HI, I am hoping to get my pool back online today. Once we lost power, I pulled the pump plugs, heater plug plug, opened the relief valve and bundled blankets over all the pipes and pumps. I have never had to add water and restart my pool before so I am open to your help. Note: My equipment is...

Hello TPF Friends, I have pits in my plaster on my tanning ledge, I believe related to ice. We had to drain down below the skimmers due to the prolonger power outage. Would you have any concerns refilling? I have sent an email to the company that did our plaster work in 2016 (pool builder is out...

Hi Friends, I took over maintenance of my pool this Spring and have been using the TFP guidance to manage water chemistry and reduce persistent algae which appears to be a result of my many trees. New challenge, I cannot find Liquid Chlorine I had been buying from Walmart at 3.50 a gallon now...

Hi, So I’ve been using my TFP kit for several weeks and stopped using pucks and moved to liquid chlorine. My CYA is 90, the algae has gotten much better but I want perfection. I’m draining - slowly and I keep reading that I should use the Pool Math app to tell me how much to drain and well, mine...

First, thank you all for some much amazing information! I have read through tons of these threads and learned a lot about robots and welcome your guidance. I have a yard with a lot of trees so Spring and Fall are a massive challenge for me as well as sand-like material I brush up on the pool...

Friends, Heater wouldn't kick on last night. The blower works, but the heater wouldn't kick off. I opened it up to find a family of mice that I nearly sucked out with the shop vac when I thought I was just cleaning up their mess. This morning, after thorough investigation and through the...

Hi Friends, Well, my husband warned me "don't get a pool" and because I didn't listen I now have a that voice in my head droning on... "I told ya so". So, here I am. Frustrated again. :( 3rd summer in our pool and 3 days ago I woke up to the spa level down and the pool level down. Add'l...

Friends, I had my pool installed 2.5 years ago and spent so much time toiling over so many details, yet one I did not, was to go with travertine. It is a honed travertine the builder recommended, not polished, but slippery, hot and has faded a lot. I am considering sealing it with a grit, which...

Hi Folks, I have a pool that has several 3 foot waterfalls with 2in pipe. It is pushed by a 3/4 HP pump. The flow is nice, but sure would be nice to crank it up a bit and then also run it lesser from time to time such as the winter. Was thinking of upping it to a 1.5HP pump but then read a...

HI - Does anyone have a pool with We Edge Primera Stone or Prism Matrix that I can run by and see the surface of? I need to make a decision on one or the other :) Much thanks! Kate

Hi Folks, I have been building a pool...in my head...since July 2016. I have met with several PBs and requested proposals from two. This pool "thing" is incredibly expensive and I feel PBs can often treat a buyer as if they should not look under the hood, "buy the car, trust me, it will be...
