When we have a pool party it is usually at least 10 adults and 15 or more kids - so there's a lot of "gear" that ends up getting stacked by the walls, chairs, etc. Does anyone have any ideas for outdoor cubbies or other shelving/storage units that are somewhat decorative (i.e. not metal...

It was our first winter closing/covering our pool. Unfortunately we don't have deck locks so it was weighted down with water bags, which worked well when they weren't leaking :roll: Anyway - several of those bags failed and we ended up using a few old cement edging/landscaping blocks (about...

Hi everyone, Just wondering if anyone has (or knows where to order) a non-safety cover for an inground rectangle pool with steps. I could have sworn I found a site that offers these, earlier in the year, but now I can't find them again. Everywhere I've looked, the only "with steps" covers they...

Thought I would share these as a testament to TFP/BBB which got me back up and running after our recent renovation. For the first time since we bought this house and "this old pool" I am thrilled with it and I feel like I own it instead of it owning me! Thank you to everyone on this board...

Working on getting my TA down (before I found this fabulous place I'd gone to the pool store where of course they told me I needed to put in Alkalinity Up) - I added the first dose of acid last night - brought TA down from 150 to 130 and pH down to 7.2...so now I'm getting that pH back up so I...

Hi everyone, First, thank you in advance for your help. I found this forum 3 days ago and have been voraciously reading ever since! I wish I'd found you 3 years ago! A little backstory: We moved into this house August 2006, pool was built in 1989. Looked to be in pretty good shape...
