Hey everyone! I’m always posting on here with issues I wanted to change things up and post something positive! After a long story and 1.5 months from order date we have finally received our 11x16 Paragon Hardtop gazebo! Rumor is it is a beast to assemble - luckily my husband enjoys difficult...

What does most of the time mean? lol I've been reading a lot and I understand it's trial and error but I dont' even know if I know what a successful trial looks like vs an error. I know we are running ours too much 10 hrs at 2000RPM and 12 hours at 1000RPM. I read somewhere it is better to...

Hi everyone, So this is our first season with our new pool. The build has been cursed since literally day one to the point where I didn't even believe in "curses" but now maybe I do! Everything has gone wrong every step of the way and it has actually been harmful to my health but whatever...

As a first timer I am trying really hard not to screw anything up (really do long term damage) as I figure things out. I need to SLAM the pool (starting today!) and I was curious if I should use a manual vacuum or if I could use my robot vacuum to help with initial clean up to see where I...

Ok .....So I am in the final steps of using our pool from the pool build from heck which I can share at another time. Bottom line — our pool was finished and admired for 2 whole weeks and we closed late October and bc we could not swim we did not add salt and just kept clean and balanced based...

Hey everyone, It's time to purchase a safety cover for a first time pool owner here. I am SO torn here in two different areas. Solid vs. Mesh I understand that solid allows for the easiest start up in spring. My step daughter who worked for a pool company as a summer job said they are...

Ok, so I've been following this page a year and have read and watched so many videos I was totally thinking I was ready to take on the water chemistry. TFP breaks it down and it looks so easy! lol Well I still think it will EVENTUALLY be easy but now I'm just overwhelmed and learning something...

My concrete coping is incredibly rough - Any way to smooth it out so it doesn’t tear us up next summer? Also, is it normal to have cracks on a brand new pour? It did have fiber mesh but it was a large pour deck 12ft, 6ft, 8ft, 10 ft around 18x36 pool. Over 1500 sq ft. Of course contractor is...

So we are about to have our liner installed but the vermiculite bottom is definitely not perfectly smooth. Is there a way to fix that? Im So terrified of it all showing threw the liner! My pool guy (who I don’t have a lot of faith in) keeps telling me it’s no big deal and the weight of the...

Just to clarify - I'm a first time pool owner and pool is being finished this week (hopefully - I've been in a 6 mo. building nightmare) and b/c I'm on my 3rd builder there is nothing typical about my build including I need to buy separately ALL start up chemicals, brushes, etc. Attempting to...

So I need to decide like yesterday my heater. I always assumed I would get heat pump due to economics of cost long term. Y builder is adamant they “suck” and gas is the only way to go but freely admits he is not clear on monthly cost comparison. I live in western NC. I hope to maintain 82-84...
