    Fouling Fowl - Geese and Ducks Rule our Pool!

    We must be the only pool owners with a fowl problem, as I expected to find several suggestions for this problem on this site, and found none! Maybe none of our members have this problem because there is a common solution that only we are unaware of, and somebody can clue us in? This morning...

    Pool Sliding Down Hill?

    TPG, we're Navy. My husband is pulling an IA tour, and as usual, everything starts to fall apart when a spouse deploys! The pool is the biggest in a long list of problems I'm trying to manage until DH comes home, and I can go back to just worrying about what I'm going to make for dinner! Now...

    Pool Sliding Down Hill?

    Good places to start, crabboy and Dave, thanks. I was hoping there was something I could do while I wait for my husband to come back from Iraq; I didn't want to just sit here and watch it get worse. If I can do the research and, in any small way, start a fix, that will be less he'll have to...

I was talking to a neighbor today who said all...

    wow, a good deal on leaf net covers

    Louisiana Pool Cover Steve, when we lived south of New Orleans, we used our solar cover to cover our gunite pool over winter; kept the filter and automatic cleaner going, but at decreased times, and kept an eye on our SWG. Regular netting of fallen leaves kept the cover from sinking. The first...

    Pool Sliding Down Hill?

    We bought our house about a year ago, in Chesapeake, VA. It has 33k gal IG vinyl pool that is approx 13 years old. For various reasons, we did not have time to comb over the house before purchasing, and depended on inspectors and realtor to be our eyes. A creek runs the length of our property...
