    Q about Sonos

    We use a Sonos Move for our pool area. It was a temporary solution as we intended to add wired outdoor speakers. We love the Move so much we have cancelled the more permanent installation! Simple and sounds great.

    Go ahead and laugh at me but hear me out...

    I could have written your post. We started with a small Intex pool when they first came on the market years ago. I learned to care for it by the old BBB method and did keep it covered. It was wonderful. Years later when I could finally get my big pool I was so fortunate to find TFP. Good luck!

    Pool size ?

    Hi dmlk! I am also in Ohio. We have the same size that you are getting and we love it! I’d say the “average” pool in my area is a 20x40 foot vinyl pool, so ours is slightly smaller than many we know. However, we love it. Our builder originally suggest the 15x30 for us, but I’m thankful we...

    Splashpad or no splashpad

    We have a fiberglass pool with a small tanning ledge/splash pad and are glad we chose it. Our dog loved to lay on it. Our toddler niece enjoys it. It’s a nice place to hang out.

    Automatic pool cover recommendations

    We also have a Coverstar cover. I can’t comment on how it compares to the other brands listed, but I can tell you that I love our cover. I have complete peace of mind that nobody, including our dog, is getting in the pool unless they are supposed to be in the pool. It also makes keeping the...

    Fiberglass pool - Safety Ledge and Many Stairs

    I posted a similar question last year, and I am so happy I went with the robot! It climbs the walls of my fiberglass pool and scrubs the water line. I use a brush on the steps and the tanning ledge, and occasionally around the safety ledge. Personally, any enjoyment I found in vacuuming...

    Which Dolphin for my fiberglass pool?

    My pool is a rectangle with large steps in one corner, a small tanning ledge with steps in one corner, and swim out steps in each of the deep end corners. Thanks.

    Which Dolphin for my fiberglass pool?

    My biggest concern is that it be able to climb the walls, up over the ledge found in most fiberglass pools, to scrub the waterline. My pool has steps in each corner and a small tanning ledge. I understand the cleaner will likely not clean the tops stairs and tanning ledge. Marina Pools...

    Central Ohio 2017/18 Fiberglass Pool Install w/video

    Thanks! The pool is 16 x 35 feet. It is definitely a different pool than I would have built 15-20 years ago, but I hope perfect for us now - not too much, not too little, and relatively easy to care for.

    Central Ohio 2017/18 Fiberglass Pool Install w/video

    After 20 years (yes, years!) we finally moved forward with our long planned pool. Once we pulled the trigger, things moved pretty quickly. We signed our contract in August, and the installation took place primarily over three days in October. We are anxiously waiting for our weather to dry...

    Hello from Ohio

    I have been reading for months, joined in August, and am finally getting around to my first post. We started our build on Monday, and 4 days later it is almost completed. Dig, pool installation, ~850 sq feet pool deck, auto cover installation - it has been an amazing week. We still have...
