Not really. Some hairline ones that had been filled in before it was last painted and they seem to be still pretty good. My pool deck is tiny compared to yours lol!

So I had someone out to give me a quote on re-covering my kooldeck with a cooldeck. The way they do it is pressure wash and acid wash the deck and clean up anything peeling etc. Then they do a thin layer of a concrete type coating that they then do knock down with and then paint with 2 coats of...

Yea, that is what I have done too. I just have to get on a routine to pick up chlorine which is typically so inconvenient for me when I work, but so far I wont be going back until possibly mid July, so I just have to force myself to run to the pool store . I used to use Clorox a lot before since...

Aghhhh, Ok, I am not going to get it! lol! Typically yea, we get tons of rain all summer, but that hasnt started yet. It's my own fault. I got lazy and used pucks since the fall only supplementing liquid from time to time. Closest pool store closed and its a pain now to get chorine. I ran out...

I know typically to lower cya you drain your pool, but I was wondering if there is any merit to using a natural cya reducer called Bio-Active? Apparently it is microorganisms that destroy the nitrogen. I hate wasting water and spending money on adding it. Anyone familiar with it?

Hi, Does anyone have any experience with a Dolphin Solo. They have it at Pinch A Penny for $629. I dont need fancy. Just reliable. Thanks!

Hi All, So, I just recently began reading all the posts on here about a robot. In the past I never really considered getting one, mainly due to cost. My pool is on the smallish side about 14x28 and screened in so typically pretty easy to keep clean and barely used actually. Considering though...

I have a skim doctor on my skimmer basket that I think works great and you can see how forceful it can get the flow coming in. I used to also have this thing called a pool devil, that connected to a return outlet and supposedly helped with the flow in the deep end. It used to catch all the...

The 2 drain plugs I found were up toward the front on the side of the basket, and it seems like the water is pouring out from under that seal plate. I made sure the drain plugs were tight but I didnt take them off to see if the o-rings were lubed. I did read on the reviews on the Amazon page...

Hi all, I have got to have the worst luck with pools ever! Last week or so I posted about my new filter and pump fiasco job that had put on hold half way done. Well, I had ordered a Pentair SuperFlo VS from a pool seller through Amazon and I had a mechanic install it yesterday and I waited to...

Thanks for the replies!

Hi everyone, If anyone has gotten there pool deck redone in anyway, is anyone willing to say how much it cost them? It's so hard to google this info. Everything is always very vague and no one gives out dollar amounts. I dont want to waste people's time in coming out to give me a quote when I...

Thank you for reading all the way through! I tend to ramble online, but it does go faster when you are telling a story irl! I promise! lol! Anyway, thanks! I would have happily gone with the 2 speed until I saw I could buy a vsp for only about $100 more. This way, if my old timer were to have...

Thanks for your response. I had closed out this page so didn't notice I had an answer. I was doing so much research with this and other things that my head was spinning. I got a pool company to come out and look at 8 am Wed and they said easy fix. He was going to get me a 2 speed pump and...

Hi everyone, I have approx. 11,000 Gal in ground pool, 28 yrs old, resurfaced 2 yrs ago. My 12 yr old 1 HP Hayward Max Flo pump just went kaput. Since it's older, I thought I should just go ahead and replace whole unit instead of getting a new motor,which I had done with the original pump. I...
