Just looking for advice, tips, etc. Considering conversion of 50x20 dive pool into lap pool by raising deep end. Worth the trouble? Probably would refinish entire pool in process, but more curious on pros, cons, costs, etc. Thanks, Jeff

Just curious if DE filter media is another product that's becoming scarce. I was looking for it today. Walmart...nope. Depot...nothing. Lowes...nada. Leslie's Pool Supply...zero. Normally it's very readily available. Nothing locally. I've never experienced a time when the shelves were...

The past few weeks I've been fighting algae, to the point were it's slimy. Perhaps my first mistake...with cost of tabs thru the roof I thought I would manage with liquid. Seemed fine at first, pool always looked good...but, For the smart people out there...and tell me if I'm wrong. I tested...

After doing some repair/patch work to a bench crack and some other annoyances, I'm still experiencing water loss. Filled pool back up this week to top of spa wall. Turned off water and waited 24 hours. Meter shows 400 gallons used to bring it back up to top of wall. We have a large surface...

Perhaps I'm wasting my time and should just have my pool resurfaced, but I'm not there yet. We had to drain the pool to fix a crack in a bench area. That has been done and patched. Not a perfect match but I can live with it for now. Wife says we'll die in this house so I'm fine with it. :)...

This goes back over a year ago, so here's a condensed story. Pool was remodeled from plaster to pebble about 11 years ago. Steps, raised bench areas and spa were added at that time. Noticed a crack near spa area bench that slowly got worse. We also began to think we had a leak in the pool...

Not sure if age has anything to do with it, but seems I'm getting a number of cracks in my pool. We did a remodel in 2007. plaster to pebble. Original pool was built in 1987 if I recall. Most of the cracks are on the edges of submerged bench/beach areas and steps. All are on the edges that...

Trying to identify where a leak is most probably located...if possible Noticed pool level declining faster than normal about 6 weeks ago. Turned everything off and let water level fall on it's own. Rate of drop slowed considerably after it cleared returns. One caveat, and perhaps I should...

I've visited TFP many times and love the comments and suggestions on this site. I finally ran into an issue I'm trying to decipher without getting hit with an expensive "recommendation" that then turns into a very expensive hunting expedition. So, I'm reaching out to this knowledgeable...
