Two-part question as I'm trying to get rid of my cloudiness. First, what is the gunk in the photos? It's been continuing to form over the last week or so. My pool is not near any trees, flowers etc. It's mainly white, with some dirty brown color when it's clumped together. Also, I'm working...

Hi all, Similar question to many other posts, but couldn't find my specific question. Thinking about getting a battery-operated vacuum for my 18-ft above-ground pool, so I don't have to deal with the hose and suction anymore. I don't get much for debris, leaves, etc. but tend to get algae...

I'm looking to add concrete blocks or pavers under my sand filter and pump this upcoming summer. As seen in the photo below, the area is kind of a lower wet spot, and the filter seems to be sinking in the ground a bit. The grass trimming around the area is kind of a pain as well. I'm not...

See link below. Thoughts on these, or does anybody have experience? Seems like a fun (and affordable) addition to our above ground pool. I'd make sure it's compatible with our pump first. Pool sprayer

Hi All. This year when starting the the filter I'm noticing a leak between "to pool" elbow at the top of the filter, and the straight piece with the small piece jutting out. (See video). I don't even know how these two are connected. I tried turing the straight piece with a large wrench and...

See photo below. We just installed a prefabricated deck, and the top of the back footings ended up a few inches below grade. I'm wondering what would be an appropriate backfill. I'd want to keep access to the footing brackets if needed in the future, so maybe lay fabric over than backfill...

Hi All, I purchased the prefabricated pool deck in the link below. Our city inspector is requiring 4-ft deep x 12" diameter footings under the posts. Unfortunately, 3 of the 8 posts will be within 12" of the pool wall itself. I e-mailed the inspector to see if there was an alternative, as...

Following up on my earlier post. Anybody have experience with the pre-fabricated resin pool decks for above-ground pools (see example below). I'm torn. Do I save myself a lot of work and buy this? It would be about the same cost if I were to build a similar size one with composite decking...

Looking to add a pool deck to our 18-ft diameter above-ground pool. Nothing too massive, maybe 5'x10' or so. Wide-open question...what's the best route? I'm OK to spend a few thousand, but not much more. I'm finding pre-fabricated resin pool decks you can buy online that seem affordable and...

Weird question. I removed the pool pump from our above ground pool for the winter, but still have the copper wire sticking out of the ground near the pump. Does that wire need to be covered up or protected at all through the winter months, or can it survive being buried in snow? Thanks in...

Hi all again, Our above ground pool got installed about 2 weeks ago. It was done professionally and they laid sand, etc. Just noticed today that there are about 8-10 golf ball size divots, maybe 3/4-inches deep, in the bottom of the pool. Is this concerning long term, or normal for pool...

I have a very small drip coming from the outside of the return fitting. See photo below. It drips about once every 3 seconds or so. Seems to be coming from the white threaded area. It's tightened pretty good it, but needless to say we don't want to mess too much with it. Is a small drip...

Hi all. Just got a pool installed, so prepare for a lot of questions! Our new pool is an 18-ft x 54" Mission above ground. We added the frog leap attachment, along with torpedo pacs. I've read a lot of material on these, but not finding the best guidance. This may be a dumb question, but I...
