How do I remove this coping to fix my liner? Also I want to paint the coping and I was wondering if it would be worth taking off all of it to paint or if I should just leave it on and paint it.

Hi there! We have had a VERY mild winter here in the northern panhandle of WV and my pool is already very green. I am itching (like a lot of other people) to open very early this year, mostly because last year I waited until end of May and it took me 2-3 weeks to get the water clear. My...

I was looking for some pool stools and these came up: https://siestakeypoolstool.com/products/2-pack-white-in-ground-pool-stools-w-free-beach-towel The instructions say that you fill the bottom with rocks, then let the stool fill up with water from your pool. Not sure how this would work ---...

I went to a pool store to buy DE to put in my sand filter to help with cloudiness but they only have 25lb bags of it. They suggested using Caribbean Blue Sand Assist if I wanted a smaller bag of something. However I haven't seen anything on this forum about people using it. I am guessing it's a...

I pulled all the sand out my filter to check the laterals because I got some sand in my pool while slamming it (laterals are perfectly fine). While I have it out, should I replace it? Here is a pic of the sand after I deep cleaned it (running a hose under it and letting the water run until it...

- - Posting for a friend - - not my pump These are new pool owners BTW. Of course I am trying to teach them the ways of TFP ;) Their pool pump will not draw from the skimmer. It is a Hayward Super Pump pictured here: Info my friend's pool: 24,000 gallon oval pool with a deep end, Hayward...

Hi everyone! I've had a pool for a few years now and recently got a fancy new job and a bump in pay... so you know what that means: I gotta buy more fancy pool stuff. Also I JUST learned that robotic cleaners have their own built-in filter system - I thought you still had to do the whole...

I have some metal coping around my pool, and the joint covers are all old and broken or gone. Where can I get new ones? Also, can someone tell me about making it look better? What are my options without removing it?

Hi everyone! This is my first time back since you all helped me get my swamp to a beautiful oasis! First of all I have read this guide: Pool School - Closing an In Ground Pool but I have read conflicting information on the forum and elsewhere so I wanted some personalized advice. So far this...

Hi all, I wanted to share my success with the TFP SLAM method so far! My husband and I purchased our first home in May and it was a foreclosure with many problems, especially with the plumbing. The house wasn't winterized until March (so useful!) and we had a lot to do inside before we could...

When we bought our house, we were surprised to find a makeshift garage-turned-pool house. The other side is screened in. There is an old garage door to the alley but it is so rusted it won't open. It had some green astro turf and dark wood paneling. I didn't get before pictures of the inside...

I am working on getting my pool cleaned up. In the meantime, I need to order a ladder or stairs for my in-ground pool. The pool is 4ft deep all around without built in stairs or anything. They threw out the ladder when they cleaned out the house before we moved in :pth: I like the idea of...

Can someone give me a visual approximation on how much sand should be in my Hayward s244t sand filter? I'm not sure how much sand was in the old filter. Enough to almost fill a 50 gallon garbage can . The sand goes within 12 in of the opening. I did fill it with some water when I was filling the...

Hi from West Virginia! My husband (user Crepes) and I recently bought & moved into a home that was a foreclosure. That mean no disclosure about the pool! So far we learned that the old sand filter was busted, so I am currently installing a new Hayward sand filter. Pump is pretty new and good...

Here is a picture of my new filter in position and almost ready to be plumbed. I have never worked with PVC plumbing (or any kind for that matter) and need some help figuring this out. The pipes don't match the old filter. Is there an extender piece that I can use to make the pipe taller? See...

I recently bought a house that has a pool and the filter was broken so we bought a new one. I don't know how long the sand has been in the old filter but it looks good I think? Here is a picture for reference. Sand - Album on Imgur I already took it out of the old filter.

I cant see any way to unscrew it. Here is a picture: Pool filter - Album on Imgur
