I'll try to make this quick. Last year we ran out of chlorine before closing and kind of let the pool go knowing we'd have a little work to do this year once we opened. And we did. But nothing too bad. Just LOTS of leaves. However we noticed new stains on the liner once we opened and cleaned it...

Ok so my husband and I have replaced the light bulb in our pool niche ourselves several times in the past. Turns out this year we needed to replace it again. Only this time when we took it out from the niche and unscrewed the retainer clamp, we noticed there was some water inside (we had it...

So this is coming down from the roof (against the side of the garage) where our solar panels are located for the pool and it's just been a steady drip/pour for a while now. It appears that end cap is supposed to just screw on but for some reason it's not really doing what it should (it just...

Hi guys! So, I'm in the middle of SLAM and trying to manually vacuum my pool to help the process along, but when I was vacuuming, I heard a loud pop. I noticed there wasn't really any suction and turned it off. When I went to remove the hose from the filter basket, I noticed the basket was...

Hey guys, so I just opened my pool on Thursday. When we opened it it was dark green swamp because no one could come close it until the beginning of November last year and we didn't leave the pump running after Sept, AND we ran out of chemicals. Anyway, I knew I was gonna have a mess this year...

Hi guys! So last year we replaced our pool light bulb but it didn't last very long and was doing weird stuff like staying on for a while then going out, then we would turn the switch off and then on again like 15 min later and it would work for a while then go out........repeat. Anyway, finally...

So I had to end up getting a new pump motor last week. Not even sure which one they gave us. The tech just brought one out and replaced the old one which was 15 years old. Not even sure what brand it is as it has no marking saying (at least I'm not able to tell). Can you tell by this pic what it...

So, opening the pool went well chemical wise, but that's where it ends. Apparently our brand new utility pump was a dud and I haven't been able to drain the pool down to proper levels yet. So then I sat there for over 4 hours lowering it the best I could with a dang wet/dry vac. Yeah, don't ask...

Hey everyone!! It's been a while since I've stopped by. We had the pool opened today and when they pulled the cover off, I thought I'd cry at how good it looked (thanks to you all here). LOL In the 4 years we've had this house and pool this was the first year that it looked like this. I could...

Hi all! Hope everyone has been well. So much craziness going on here (husband got laid off in May, been watching the grandkids, etc) over the Summer that I haven't really had time to be on. Anyway, pool has been balanced and great all Summer long. However, the last month it's been raining like...

We are relatively new pool owners (3 years now, came with the house we bought) and still pretty clueless with many things. The previous owners briefly explained some things to us but pretty much said, "there is a book in the shed that explains everything". And it sorta does, I guess, but other...

Hey everyone! So as you may know, I'm waiting on my kit to come so that I can get my pool in order. In the meantime, I noticed that our solar heater says it's on and heating but hubby and I feel no warm water coming out of the return jets. And we usually do once the pool is up and running. This...

Hey all! So having a pool is still pretty new to us. This is only our third year. Anyway, we just had the pool opened on Friday. We have a 15,000 gallon in-ground, vinyl pool. Goes from 3 feet deep to 5.5/6 feet deep. So, usually when the pool is opened they toss in a bottle of algaecide and...

Hello Everyone!! So I'm new here and figured I'd share some pics of our own backyard paradise. It's really got "almost" everything you could ask for....... A solar heated pool Large deck w/an automatic retractable awning Several outdoor seating areas Fire pit BBQ Outdoor movie theater A spot...
