I have learned and done all my own pool work after inheriting a 20x40ft inground 8.5ft deep end sand filter pool. I replaced all the equipment last year with success. I decided the liner was above my pay grade. I've had terrible experiences with some of the "pool guys" here in Wisconsin when...

I'm wondering if anyone here has experience buying bulk chlorine like a drum or pallet of jugs delivered. I'm in WI. Has COVID affected prices at all? Last season I was burning through, what seemed to be, and abnormally high amount of chlorine. I was buying at Menards (regional big box...

title says it all. Looking to buy one of these if you've got one :)

I'm trying to find a replacement part for my sand filter. The parts are all listed in size / inches. How do I tell what size my filter is? The part is discountinued / obsolete Pentair 55025200. Any insight into what the replacement part would be would be a HUGE help, but mainly just trying...

I always had a nagging sense there were super small amounts of sand coming into my pool, and after just opening this spring, I now have lines of sand pouring straight into the pool. Having once changed the sand and noticing .... what I now know are laterals... were in rough shape, I assume one...

Hi All, I thought this was the year where I finally had this pool thing by the you know whats, but alas .... I got a little to big for my britches. Before I get to my current dilemma, Here's the breakdown / timeline: Milwaukee, WI area - We bought a safety cover last fall opening was a...

I pulled the wrong plug in closing my pool last season, and lost some of my sand. What would you experts suggest I do now? I don't know the volume of sand I lost, so I wouldn't know how much to add. Should I guess or should I remove ALL of it, and refill? What type of sand do I need, and...

.... was about a year ago. They charged me close to $400 to close my 20x40 in ground pool. The water bag "secured" tarp cover fell into the pool about a week later. They came back, pulled it out, and put some patio blocks on it. I didn't have the money for the $1500 they wanted to charge for...

I had some mud jacking done, to raise the one side of our pool. It is a very narrow strip only about 2 feet wide, and the mud jacking caused the liner to come loose. How do I fix this?!?!?

Should I call the pool guy? hahaha j/k I know the rules around here. So I'm wondering a few things about installing my first safety cover. First off, I mean installing from scratch. We've previously had water bags and a tarp. I should also mention this will be my first time closing the pool...

As long as I've had this pool <2yrs, I've noticed this debris on the bottom. After doing a thorough vacuum yesterday and seeing a perfect shallow end, I wake up this morning to the sandy debris at the bottom of the pool. Yesterday when vacuuming I had a filter sock on the basket, and caught...

Hi All, We bought a house Aug 2016 with a 20 x 40 in ground pool. We had a good time with it last summer. The guys we had close it did a terrible job, tarp fell in, no one wanted to take the job of opening it and I ended up doing it myself. I removed over 5 wheel barrows full of leaves. got...
