UPDATE: My husband was messing with the pump, took the back cover off and saw that the wires were corroded and that a bearing was rusted. He knocked off the corrosion and wd40'd the bearing. It is working for now until we can get a new pump. To the original poster, our pump was doing the...

Do you mind letting me know the model number on your Roaring River pump? I have the same pump that just stopped working out of the blue. The motor is hot to touch just like yours. I am going to replace the pump but not sure of the hp. The label lists volts, hz, amps, hmas, and qmax but...

Thanks for the responses. Not sure what it was, but it is gone for now! Our pool is finally clear.....we did not know about the waste setting so we were vacuuming for hours just recirculating the cloudy stuff back in the pool. Once we vacuumed to waste the pool is ready to go! It just needs...

First we used a brand of powder shock by Pool Essentials and then we used Aqua Chem Shocks water clear. We need to order the good testing kit so it is hard to get good readings. We are going to go to a pool store tomorrow that a friend uses (she said they are honest and won't dupe you) so...

Earlier this week we uncovered our above ground pool. Our pool was installed last year so this is our first attempt at getting a pool ready after winter. It had green algae but we shocked the pool and the algae is gone. We are in the process of getting clear water instead of cloudy water...

Sorry I do not. We totally winged it the entire way!

He originally made a square with the posts. It did have some give in the boards when just that was done so then we just cut some boards and ran them at an angle from the support beams to the piece of wood that capped all the sides of the deck (basically the kick board of the top step). We...

Oh it was fine! It was really just a bad thunderstorm that lasted days and days ha ha. I didn't think it would ever stop raining. Luckily the wind was not an issue but I am sure it will withstand high winds, we just have to worry about the old oak trees all over our property falling on top of...

Oh yes just average joes made it work! It is not perfect but we got the job done! Good luck with yours and let us know how it goes!

To make the curves we laid the board up on the supports and then penciled the curve on the board then made a cut. Our boards were long so we had plenty of room to make a cut then push the board under the white part. If I didn't answer what you are asking just let me know and I will let me...

Re: First time to hard plumb...a fountain is in the makes (p Awesome! I will have to put this on my husband's honey do list ha ha!

No I don't mind at all!! My pool is 52" tall. The stringers were too short for us also so my husband built up the bottom and then attached them. We then covered the front of the step with a board so it looks nice. We will eventually enclose the sides of the stairs as well so you can't stand...

I read bad "horror stories" about the company online, this was after I read a bunch of good reviews. We took our chances and everything ended up working out perfectly with the company. The pool is awesome!

I used the search function and didn't find too much on the subject so I thought I would ask. I live on the Gulf Coast of Alabama and the impending hurricane on the East coast got me to wondering what we should do when one heads our way. I know the obvious of trimming limbs and picking up...

Geez it looks kind of horrible looking at it, but it is sturdy, sturdy, sturdy. We did get lazy with staining and sealing the untreated wood, but as soon as it cools down we are going to tape the pool off and spray the underside.

That was just step one. Next came building the deck. I learned a lot during the process! First thing I learned was staking things out does not give you the proper prospective of how large your deck will actually be!! My husband staked things out and told me it would be plenty big, but I...

I'm a little slow in posting these but here is our pool install that we started the first week of June! After much debate and with much anxiety we pulled the trigger and ordered our pool online from Family Pool Fun. We got the 52" Barbados 24' round. Initially we were going to install the...

We finally pulled the trigger and ordered a 24'x52" from this company! ! I will take pictures and keep everyone updated.

We are looking to get an above ground pool. I have priced them at the local companies and the 24' rounds are running a little more then we wanted to spend. I see there are places online that I could order them and even with paying someone for installation we would still save money. I was...
