this is the first time I've ever had an inground pool. my landlord just hired a pool company for $175 a week But they want $400 to make it sparkly blue again. I know that I can do it, but she won't let me. I don't know why she thinks that she can continue to literally throw money down the drain...

We just moved into a house with an inground pool. The landlord has a friend that supposedly has been maintaining it for 10 years. Although it is apparent that he doesn't know what he's doing. as a previous owner of an above ground pool, I know what the numbers should look like and what the pool...

Finally broke down and got the k2006 test kit from Taylor. I thought I was :confused: when I put up my pool then I got this. Where do I start? I admit, I'm too lazy to scroll thru to find this exact topic so don't spank too hard. Pleeease (in my Jessica rabbit voice)

I was given a sand and swg pump but no filter. I'm trying to find one but in the meantime is there any way to plum them together so I at least have more power and a filter? It is a CS20110 by Intex. I really need the power. TIA

I got this pump free and it seems to work. I only have the PUMP and not the big container standing beside it in the picture. I don't necessarily care about converting it to salt but can I just use the sand pump and filter basket with it? It does seem to pump the pool just fine but I dont want...

I have the basic intex cover but have no idea how to put it on. I mean I know how, but should I put something with it to keep it from sinking or getting full of water

I woke up to a noticeable drop in water in my pool. Ran out to turn off pump and noticed somebody unhooked it and drained the water below the hose lines. I was going to winterize it anyway so no biggie. Do I go ahead and drain it all out? I do have to make adjustments before we fill it again...

Hi all you tfp owners. What do you do to prepare for a hurricane such as Irma? Should I drain entirely? Just halfway? Cover? Please give me a little assistance. Thanks in advance

I hate vague instructions but glad y'all at here. Just purchased this and the blue threaded hose adapter is threaded too much for my PRISM frame. I have like 3 threads and this has more. I'm afraid to cross thread it. Also, this stupid thing floats...away. I realize it's supposed to float, but...

Phosphates are 700. 2 to 3 weeks ago they were 400. Someone said Phosfree. Is this what y'all recommend? I am just this weekend adding my skimmer Christi

Should say MODS. Not mids I obtained this lil guy for ten bucks. I figured it's worth.a shot. Anybody got any idea how I can make it work on mine? Info in signature [emoji228] Christi

Noticed last night one of my legs is bowed at the bottom. What do i do? It's on bricks so can I tap the brick to try and move it or do i have to drain it?

I have had my pool up since June 30th and have lurked around tfp and posted but now I'm confused at the testing phase. I cannot afford that tf100 kit so I have the cheap one with red and yellow drops. I know how to use it and my local Pinch A Penny has the fancy computerized test thingamajig...

Just bought this neat add-on skimmer. It says everything is there that I need. Is it really? Mine seems to be the redheaded stepchild (I know how it feels, as i am one lol) nothing is the same as the ultra frame pools. Do any of y'all have one? Do u like them? Do they work? Tell me somethin'...

Bought this leaf sucker and it's ok but.doesnt get the sand out. How do y'all do that? I have a 1500 gpu pump so I don't think the intex pool cleaning thingie won't work Christi

15fp 635t i believe is the pump. It says in manual to not swim while running pump. I told the lady at the pool place this and she said she's never heard of that but didn't think it would hurt it. What do y'all think?

I have this ugly blue tarp around the pool as i used double tarps in my setup just to be sure. Anyway, i will be putting up reed fencing to hide it's ugliness, and am just at a halt, like my hamster fell off its wheel, as to how to hide the tarp. I have put pavers under ladder and pea gravel...

I have an Intex 16x48 prism frame pool. The instructions say to run it 4 hours a day. When i told this to pinch a penny pool and spa they were very adamant that I run it 10. Now that's a 6 hour difference than intex recommendations. Its 4 feet deep, not 10. I'm in Pensacola Florida and it's...
