In the Land of 10,000 lakes low water levels are something er rarely face, 2021 is here though and we are faced with some of the driest weather on record. When we could no longer safely go without adding water we added a couple inches to prevent it from going too low. I’m learning that with...

Hello! We have a Polaris 9300 pool cleaner that we purchased second hand, of course when we got it home we plugged it in and it would act like it was about to start, the jet would go on and then the lights blink back and forth between cycle 1 and 2. The guy is being decent about it but we were...

Hello— so yesterday we had a fun filled day in the pool, there were quite a few people in the pool for a few days so I wasn’t surprised when my husband told me that the filter was at a “time to clean” pressure. We planned to do it today. I turned the pump on and took a look and the pressure was...

We can’t get the liner to fit help!!

We have multiple retaining wall blocks that that were given to us for free. Will I regret using these opposed to just going to get the Pavers most recommend? I live in MN suburbs and a lot of things are closed due to the riots so I’m not sure I’ll be able to get into anything this morning and...

Hello from Minnesota! We don’t get a super long swimming weather season but it doesn’t seem to bother the kids, they’ll probably swim until they’re lips are blue!! Me on the other hand will be begging for a heater on the hottest of days! We just purchased a 24 foot round AGP, still all boxed up...

I’m so excited!! We purchased a embassy pool co Century, it will have a doughboy liner, I upgraded to a sand filter as it came with a cartridge filter. The kit comes with a foam cove and the guy said we don’t need a pad if we use a good sand base, I’m skeptical but would think he would try to...

Is purchasing a used pool off craigslist a bad idea? I’m not familiar with the brand ( trevi ) and understand we would need a new liner, it’s $250 we disassemble/haul and comes with a platform which would be nice. Comes with a sand filter and 1.0 Hayward pump but maybe we’d upgrade? We’ve never...

Hello! New to all of this. We live in Minnesota and are planning to purchase and above ground pool. Someone is coming to grade our spot which is at a very mild slope. We plan to put a vinyl fence that attaches to the posts. The pool we are purchasing is a doughboy brand. I’m wondering what...
