It’s rained so much the pool is overflowing. There is a snapping turtle in the water next to the pool. Wiley wants to play with 🐢. He keeps laying in the mud. There’s tadpoles everywhere! Wiley needs a bath. Now I need a bath. I was hoping to get in and clean the pool today. I guess I have other...

I just had the same issue as those in this post from years ago. I’m hoping I can workout my issue and share whatever I do to fix it. First, I know the pump is getting power because the timer lights were working. The test button does nothing. And neither does the reset. The pump isn’t running...

I put together all of my PVC and hoses. Found one leak that I have since fixed with an added gasket. And now I still have this leak. In the picture, you’ll see that I have an arrow pointed at this threaded fitting at the top of the tee. It absolutely refused to not leak, so I used the same PVC...

This year I had a wonderful idea that maybe I would swap out the hoses for PVC. Looks good, no? I mostly one of the shut off valves and the new skimmer replacing all the hoses added benefit. I did this while my ag pool had no water in it. Once I got everything watertight now everything else...

Last year, was my first with a pool. I just used the pump that came with the pool. I never could get my vacuum to work and I think the pump may be the culprit. I also imagine a better pump can’t hurt. How do I choose a new pump?

Last year, was my first with a pool. It had to be taken down to level the ground for real this year. I have quite the To Do list before opening this year. Most importantly, the pool needs to be clean and have water in it. But which should I do first? Should I continue to clean or just fill with...

Last year, was my first with a pool. It had to be taken down to level the ground for real this year. I have quite the To Do list before opening this year. properly level the ground clean clean clean the poor dirty pool that has been collapsed and laying around getting gross for months get a...

I know I need to rinse my filter, but right now I can’t do that without having to plug each of the outlets. Is there something I can do to maybe add a shutoff or am I missing something more obvious? Right now there is a shutoff on the bigger pipe that feeds back to the pool, but not the other pipes.

I put this pump together yesterday and have been filling it with water all night. Water is now going into the pump but it is leaking from the connection on the left side of the pump, presumably in the water inlet. My Spouse and I just took apart all the pipes and re-attached them hoping that...

I’ve done what I thought was a ton of research, but I’m still coming up at a loss after setting up my first pool yesterday. As I write this, I’m still filling it with water. Of note, I had expected there’d be some sort of skimmer, but I guess that’s not a thing. I’m also not sure I see where I’m...

Hi 👋🏻 I just got my first pool set up. I’ve been reading all the things for a few months and got our pool when we moved into out new home.
