    Small leak. Need advice

    Hello, We opened our pool last week and today I noticed a small leak coming from the return when I saw water dripping down the wall. (Not good) I looked and it is leaking from the threads that go into the wall, not around the gasket. What is the best way to fix this? I assume I will have to...

    Here we go again

    We sold our house back in September and left our 18 x 33 oval behind. :cry: My wife wants a pool in the worst way. She can't even go one summer without a TFP pool. (Myself and my 6 year old daughter included) So today, I purchased a new above ground pool to enjoy at our new house. This time...

    Plumbing upgrade

    I have to say, having never used/worked with PVC before, I was a little nervous with this little project this weekend. I have to say that it was better than I thought it was going to be. I only hope that when we get the cover off the pool later this week and we fire it up, there are no leaks...

    TFP Closing Plan Works!

    I must say I was a little skeptical after hearing other folks with pools at work tell me that every time they open their pool it is green. One of my co-workers said, "It's just something you have to deal with every spring." Needless to say, he's been pool stored. I followed the closing...

    Unique "filling the pool" question.

    Our installers came out today to fix an issue with the floor of our above ground pool installed a few months ago. The liner had divots after the floor was improperly packed I guess. We drained the pool, they pulled the liner off on the sides, filled and packed more sand into the affected areas...

    Little green on bottom, next steps?

    I was vacuuming my pool late this morning after we had a few storms the past few days and saw some small green patches on the floor as I was vacuuming. I vacuumed up most of it manually, then ran the EZ vac for a while and brushed the walls and floor of the pool after. The water is clear. As...

    Loving the TFP life!

    We had our 18 x 33 Sharkline Harbortown installed back in April. Yard was destroyed because we had to dig down 3 ft at to level the yard. We installed a retaining wall and I am working on repairing the lower side of the yard now (seeding it). We love TFP!!! I hope these pics work. 1st pic...

    New Above Ground Purchase

    Let me first say that I have been a lurker on this site for years. My wife and I have always wanted a pool and we finally have taken the plunge. We were back and forth between in-ground and above-ground options. We finally settled on an above ground pool and purchased it today. We purchased...

    Did I miss something?

    I have been a member of this site for a little over a year. I don't post much (if at all). I am planning on putting an above ground pool in next summer so I have been educating myself on this site for a while and viewing the new pool builds and everything else. I am totally confused about...
