Second year with the pool, but first year closing myself. Watched many a video and read many a thread, and I feel confident about the way I closed the plumbing. We closed about a month ago. Was putting away some furniture and I got curious since we’ve had unseasonably warm weather, so I took...

So our fiberglass pool has aluminum brackets on the top to secure the concrete decking. One of the corners wasn’t aligned perfectly and I’m pretty sure the earth is exposed behind. This is the spider corner. I have to check it every time my kids get in because half the time a big wolf spider...

We had a minute of power loss after some torrential rain this morning. I was out at the pad to lower my water level and I noticed my Intelichlor alternating blinking lights like I’ve never seen before (will try to attach video). Green Good blinks, then Red Salt blinks alternating every 1/4...

Thinking of opening my pool in the next few days; mainly because I have the time with the lockdown and all. It’ll be my first year opening and I feel relatively confident in my ability (and could save $500 rather than having the PB do it in 15 minutes.) That said, I started walking through my...

So we’ve collected a few bounce house fans from kids inflatables over the years, and I’m wondering if anyone had used something like this to close/blow out a pool? I’ve heard the Cyclone mentioned on the forums, and that got me thinking about this one fan that pushes a LOT of air. Doesn’t seem...

After a very successful first season, Fall approaches and the inevitable pool closing draws nearer. While the PB is going to be coming back to close this first season, I have been wondering about the Intellichlor ic40 cell. We're in Northern Illinois, and winters can be brutal. Does anyone...

Latest test results, after following Pool Math guidance and the Taylor-2006 kit: FC: 4.8 CC: .4 Ph: 7.4 TA: 150 (down from 170 a few days ago) CYA: 80 CH: 120 Salt: 3600 So, I guess I’m curious about Calcium Hardness. I don’t have any metal in/near my fiberglass pool and there is no concrete...

Was looking into higher end robots, but my smaller pool and it’s odd features (steps/seat/safety ledge) led me to think a simple vacuum and circulation robot would be a good fit. My pool has a slope so I wasn’t sure the Rover Jr would handle it well based on some reviews. I also am in a newer...

We are in the process of getting a Leisure Pools Elegance 23' fiberglass pool installed, and I have been going back and forth on robotic cleaners. Haven't had to clean the pool manually yet, so I'm not even sure if a 7,000 gallon, 12' x 23' would be that time consuming to handle with a hand...

Pretty excited for Monday, if the weather holds our pool instillation should begin. Builder is Signature Pools (and associated landscaping/fencing companies) and we are going with a Leisure Pools Elegance 23 Fiberglass. Signature is a big fan of the Pentair brand (which is good for support...
