We purchased a house that had a Paramount PCC2000 in-floor cleaning system that was built ~1996-ish. We had the pool re-plastered a few years ago, and the pool company removed the main drain cover and replaced it with a standard Hayward style safety-compliant cover (like the one seen here)...

We had some renovations done to our pool 3 weeks ago and I'm already starting to feel a little uneasy about it. A lot of our coping stones were loose, so they were pulled up, cleaned out underneath, then reset. I'm noticing the grout between the stones is already cracking a bit. Nothing BIG, but...

We have a Pentair Intelliflo VSF - 011056 pool pump that we used last year for the first time. We took it off at the end of the season and are about to open up again for the year. What kind (if any) maintenance should I be doing on the pump? It was working fine at the end of the year. Should I...

We are having our in-ground pool re-plastered at the beginning of June and managing the startup ourselves. I've been reading the info provided by our contractor, as well as other info online (including the guide on TFP) and just needed some additional clarification. Our pool is traditionally...

I still consider myself very much a pool newbie, so hopefully I'm not missing something super obvious here... I converted our pool this year to saltwater when we first opened it. Took me awhile to dial everything in, but the water has been crystal clear for months now. The main problem: my...

I've been surfing around the threads for some help with a couple of IntelliCenter installation questions. I'm not finding much, I suppose since they're still fairly new. Please go gentle on me. I'm not electric expert and I've seen some other people's questions on this not go over well... -...

Opening our pool for the first time myself really isn't going well. It seems like something is off, and the local pool company that is familiar with our pool just told me they wouldn't be able to come out until mid-June. The system will appear to be up and running well, then I walk away and...

For those that haven't read my previous posts asking for help, this is my second year of pool ownership and my first year of managing it myself. It's not going HORRRRRIBLE, but I wouldn't give myself a good grade yet. We have a Paramount in-floor cleaning system (that I actually do like) that...

Hello again TFP. I have finally started the attempt at opening/installing/upgrading our pool to salt water and a variable speed pump. This is my second year of pool ownership, and last year I hired a company to open/close the pool for me. Today I de-winterized the pool and installed the new...

Hello TFP! Please forgive me as I attempt to explain my pool situation and questions. I purchased a home last year that came with an in-ground pool, the first one I’ve ever owned. It’s been quite the learning curve. I’m a DIY’er and trying to move forward this year without the help of a pool...

Bought a home last year that has an in-ground pool. This is my first time owning a pool, and I'm trying to not destroy the thing. It's a 27,000 gallon, fresh water/chlorine pool. I used a pool company last year to open/close it, but I'm hoping to do everything myself this year. I'm also going to...
