That’s a great ideal, Lets see what we can come up with to add underneath the stand pipe just as a little extra protection between its bottom and the liner. Maybe a piece of rubber conveyers belting or one of the rubber children’s playroom safety squares. Not very experienced with a pool so...

Also, In order to keep the center pole from floating up or moving around on top of the liner, and to avoid adding unwanted weight pressing down on the liner, instead of filling the pipe with anything to weight it, we decided to use the water itself to hold the center pole down and in place and...

Thank you YippeeSkippy, The large center pipe has a rather large protective endcap on it to protect the liner and to disperse the weight evenly. He even installed protective end caps on each of the 4 legs that are sitting outside of the pool, just to ensure that nothing could damage the liner...

Thank you, we looked into the purchase price of a pool dome with netting and those are quiet expensive, so this is certainly a much cheaper option for anyone willing to spend an hour putting pipes into fittings and stretching a net over the frame. And I am very proud of the fact that I don't...

It has 4 legs and 4 netting support braces on it right now, (but he is planning to add 4 more of each in the coming days). When we need to vacuum or sweep, its easy to raise the legs one at a time until the net is high enough above the pool edges to work under it, then once the cleaning is done...

Mystery solved, the small balls of green sludge that we were finding in the middle of the pool each morning, were small acorn seeds from the giant oak tree. Once we got the SLAM completed and the pool clear, we installed our homemade DIY leaf dome over the pool to prevent any leaves entering the...

Thought I would share our creation with anyone interested in keeping the fall leaves out of your pool without having to spend tons of money to do so. My husband made me this homemade Leaf Dome to prevent leaves from entering the pool. It may not be for everyone but it certainly has prevented all...

Thank You, it has been amazing to watch our pool go from complete green to sparkling TFP clean & clear. My contribution to the process was my willingness to listen, learn and follow instructions. All credit goes to Dave and TFP. The hands on guidance, education and support I have received from...

SLAM Day 12 Pool water is beautifully clear & passed OCLT testing again last night. So proud to see the results of my first ever SLAM. I will say from my experience the hardest part of a SLAM is the constant sweeping and vacuuming and the most important part (at least to me) is the "AM" (Shock...

I wanted so badly to perform my first ever SLAM correctly and efficiently, THANK YOU DAVE for sticking in there with me throughout this entire process and helping me achieve my goal. You are very much appreciated!! My husband told his friend yesterday "That TFP guy Dave has absolutely been my...

SLAM Day 10 Pool water still has slight residual cloudiness, not too much at all but still not what I call TFP crystal clear. That annoying mud like substance showed up again this morning, so vacuumed & swept entire pool and walls again and did an OCLT just because the mystery mud showed up...
