    I hate snakes

    Years ago when I was married and had young children, we had a large inground pool, and one day I opened up the skimmer, cover to find a small, cute, what looked like a store-bought mouse, sitting a top my skimmer basket extension pole. ( yes the very thing that I bought so that I wouldn’t have...

    Getting all my gear together - am I forgetting something important?

    I read that he has a sand filter I’m not certain of the size of it but he will also need a backwash hose or an area dedicated in order to backwash the sand filter. 😁 Just adding to yours.

    Buyers remorse 😔

    Analysis paralysis is the most fitting term when it comes to choosing a swimming pool. I’ve had it, I know you’ve probably had it, we have all had it. 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫🤪🤪🤪😂

    If I was going to have 2 votes this was gonna be one of my votes. If you have read anything about my submission you would know that obviously I am super curious about your pool slide. Does it feel pretty heavy duty? And what ages or weight is it recommended for? I love it 🥰

    I can’t get rid of this algae that keeps coming back on the bottom of my vinyl lined pool. Please help!

    The one thing that I have never done regarding a swimming pool is messed with the inside of the sand filter and I’ve had swimming pools the majority of my adult life.

    Sounds like you have definitely got it down to a science!! I am now beginning to think that I may have more trouble than I had thought I did.

    Thank you for that advice because I was thinking I probably needed to do something for now but I didn’t really know what. If my CYA is 40 then chlorine level to keep at 15% is 6ppm ? For example is that correct?
