    Black Dust (Frustrating)

    Took my pool cover off on Sunday, and had clear blue water. We had a couple of rains, and off/on fill up from my well and I was finally able to turn on my pump/filter. Nothing at the bottom of the pool floor. Within 5 minutes of running it, I’ve got these spots showing up. I had them all last...

    How would you fix this plumbing?

    So I had permanent electrical run out to the pump last year (with a ground around the pool), however, they used the existing plumbing I had and you can see the return to the pool was dangling. How would you fix this so that it's more rigid? Would you do a couple 45 turns down to the ground with...

    Good idea - Flowers Recommendation?

    So, I want to make the area around my pool look more appealing...current state is the pool top rail is about 10-12" above the deck floor boards. I am for sure going to make a step up aka "jump in step" for the kids and myself. That is the brown part rectangles in the picture. I was then going...

    New House...First Pool = LOT’S of Questions!

    Hi! New to the forum, I joined this past summer prior to buying our house with a pool. By the time we moved in the Fall, they had closed the pool (poorly) early October here in Ohio. I did a bit of research, and drained the filter/pump, removed hoses and components in prep for winter. I do not...
