Thank you for all of your replies. I appreciate all of your advice. We have a Hayward heat pump. It is four years old. I have my pool builder close my pool every year. The heat pump has never been cleaned. There is debris (leaves, junk) if you look down inside the machine. I did...

Just wondering if anyone gets their pool heaters serviced each year? If so, what is the charge?

The best thing in the world is my robot!!!!!!!!! The Polaris could not pick up the fine particles. My robot can. Keeps my pool way cleaner. Well worth the expense. Would not get a pool without it. If you want the cleanest water, get a robot

I love your firepit. Where did you find it?

Here's an idea... Why don't you use sturdy wheels? You can lock them in place. Just a thought.

Hello everyone! I purchased a pressure washer a few weeks ago, and have been cleaning everything I can find outside (and having fun doing it!). I have mostly cleaned the cement patio that we have around our pool. The pool is still closed for 1 more week. Well, today I cleaned the cement...

The coronavirus has hit your pools!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ha just joking....had to say that! :p

Wow- thank you everyone. I appreciate your insight. It is good to know. Pools are expensive, I know. My robot was pricy enough. When I win the lottery, I will get one. Than you again.

Hello everyone: I am a pool owner onto year 3. A few years ago while we were on vacation, I saw something that the "pool worker" used at the hotel. He had a portable external pool vacuum on wheels. I've seen videos on youtube of pool companies that send their workers with an external...

I looked into both. I got an inground pool, vinyl, with concrete walls (not steel walls) . I love my pool. I am so glad that I got something strong, long lasting, and absolutely beautiful. Please know that when your project is done, it is going to cost you money-period! You get...

I have a cement wall vinyl lined pool. I love it! Well worth it!

I love my heat pump. Its an investment, but boy my pool heats up fast. I love my warm pool!

Last night I had added 2 gallons of chlorine in 8%. The SWG is running. This morning when I checked, it was in the yellow strip. It's working.... Than you for all the help.

Ok...I'm going to add more chlorine and Chlorine stabilizer. It's a hot sunny day too, with more to come. You gentlemen are godsends! Bless you!

Ok...now I feel like a miniature chemist! I just tested again. I didn't know that the little "pill" made the testing water circulate on the speed stirrer. I'm so happy that I didn't throw that away. Here's the second time I tested everything. I think this might be more correct. On...

Thank you! I will watch these youtube videos. I haven't put in any chlorine this week. My swg has been going. When the machines were not hooked up, I added chlorine that I purchased. However, right now, I have not added any. Should I? I have a gallon left in my garage. I...

Hello everyone: I have had my pool for a couple of weeks now. I'm learning from the pool builder and have finished his instructions. He has been helpful. I have been reading faithfully this website as well. This website has provided me with so much information, and I appreciate all of you...

I got this bleach in the cleaning section of Walmart, not the pool section. My pool just got the liner + water 2 days ago, but the equipment is not hooked up yet. My pool is 18 x 38 feet, 5 feet in depth. I am nervous that the water will turn bad before it is all ready to go. I'm...

Beautiful! Be proud!!!

So pretty

I have an idea that you might like. I agree with getting rid of the rocks- they do not look well. So my idea is....how about artificial grass in those areas? You have a fence around...so you do not want grass...too hard to cut. However, it will be soft for your kids' feet. It will look...

The picture above...the water looks amazing....what a beautiful color.

How much sun & shade do you get? You have a lot of trees. The pool is gorgeous. I'm wondering about the surround... How do you like your heater vs. getting a heat pump?

Does anyone have an opinion of mini mesh black chain link fencing in a wooded lot? It's already private by the trees.

Jodie's pool above is my dream! How could you move away from that paradise? You are correct...I cannot see the fence. So here's my next question: The fence by the evergreen trees- was it a cedar fence? vinyl fence? please share. My last question is....by the trees...does a wooden...

Please show some ideas!

Hello everyone: I appreciate greatly all of your insight. You are all knowledgeable and I value your insightful comments. Since this photo was taken, we have taken down a bunch of trees. The tree cutter gentleman came around the yard, including the perimeter of the yard, both to cut down...

Hello! Thank you all for your comments. I know that the pool needs the sun. We will have a heat pump. The pool needs to be heated definitely. I have a wooded lot. I have already cut down the tree that is on the left of the photo. The pool will be located in the back, right side...
