Good Morning, This was my first year closing the pool and the only plugs I could get to fit are shown in the attached picture. Well in retrospect, these are very hard to get out. I believe the harder I pull on the end, the tighter it tries to grip. Any recommendations from anyone? I have tried...

Hi Everyone. I plan on adding waterline tile to my fiberglass pool this summer and I came across the following recycled glass tile - Sea Pearl Iridescent Glass Pool Tiles Only $5.95 | Ocean Mosaics I know you get what you pay for but this seems to be really cheap. Does anyone have experience...

Hey there, no I wasn't able to finish last year before closing things up. I should have it open in the next month or two and will post pictures of the continued progress.

I have a much more mild climate in VA and that is what I did. If you have time to get it done right, I would say go for it. That also allows any potential settling to occur over the winter before you pour the deck.

Hi Everyone. I have seen this topic come up a couple times so I thought I would post what I have done as the plumb strip really looks terrible in my opinion. Backstory, I spent 4 months building my fiberglass pool last year because I have young kids and could only do it a couple hours at a time...

Hello everyone, I’m thinking about adding a fiberglass tanning ledge (8’ x 8’ or so) to my existing fiberglass pool. I would have it raised so there would be a water fall to the main pool. My question goes out to those with this configuration with the following: 1) do you run treated water to...

Hello everyone. Just installed a pool this year and we are loving it. The only issue we are having is swarming bees hanging out to drink the salt water. These seem to be honey bees so I think someone close must have a honey operation going. They are friendly for the most part but I seem to get...

Hi everyone, I have a recently installed fiberglass pool. I purchase from the pool maker and installed myself. The pool came with the skimmer installed and it is about 3/4” out of level relative to the pool. I won’t waste my breathe on the pool maker as I know they won’t do anything for me. The...

That looks great, I’m thinking about doing the same thing but I will need to solve some out of level issues by selectively trimming the underside of my existing coping. Do you have any pictures of where the tile meets the coping so I can see how they finished it off? Thank you!

Hello everyone. I did a "factory assist" fiberglass pool install this summer where I dug the hole, did all the plumbing and finish work. The broker assisted me with the gravel placement and setting of the pool. The install went fairly well but at the worst spot I'm about 3/4" our of level. At...

Hi Everyone, I'm wrapping up the install of a 14' x 32' fiberglass pool in my backyard (solo). It has been a long road but I'm nearing the end. Almost immediately after I out water in the pool (before I added chemical or turned on the SWG) all of the non-skid turned from clear to white. I spoke...

Good evening, bumping this up one more time. Does anyone have a recommendation? Thank you!

Hello everyone. Thank you for this great source of information. I'm about to start digging my 14' x 30' rectangle fiberglass pool and I have a question about the bond beam. Is the an upside to pouring the bond beam (~2.5 wide) and stamping prior to pouring the rest of the concrete deck? In my...
