Our pool was built in 2013 and the original water based stain had almost completely faded. It was sealed originally and I had sealed it at least once in the early years, but there is one part that has very little surface texture and any sealant made it slippery (and Sharkgrip didn't last long)...

Happy Holidays from the Bmoreswim Family.

So technically we’ve been on Instagram since, well, a long time ago. But now we are there to spread the Trouble Free Pool message in a different way than we do here at headquarters. Follow us at troublefreepool on Instagram. #troublefreepool

I’ve long struggled, though without really realizing it, with how to best type on a tablet (w/ keyboard) or laptop while sitting by the pool. I often have a wet suit on, with perhaps a damp/wet towel, so placing it on my laps isn’t the best. Nor is the stability. So as I sat outside this...

I have recently installed a Hayward Tristar VSP (SP3202VSPND). It's a 1.85 HP variable speed pump without its own display panel. It is required to be connected to a Hayward ProLogic (or similar) automation system. No problem there. It's all installed and works fine. My question is if I can...

So let's hear about your pool habits and how long it takes you on a day-to-day basis to keep your pool Trouble Free! Note: This was originally written as a newsletter article - so excuse the more formal approach. Summer has finally arrived for most of us now. What took you so long? For me...

Hi @YippeeSkippy - Does Skippy like his pith helmet? It looks like the plastic kind I see here. Amazon.com: Rothco Pith Helmets, White: Military Apparel Accessories: Clothing Just curious for a new option. And maybe as a bonus, one the kids think looks silly.

@Leebo Is it possible to change the font color of the Most visitors online text at the bottoms of the pages? It shows as black text on a dark blue background for me on mobile and PC.

I am interested in purchasing a VS pump to replace my 2HP 2-speed Hayward Tristar pump (it’s been repaired once and he won’t work on it again - and I don’t want it to fail at a bad time). I’m good with my decision to get a VS because I can get a $400 utility rebate on a VS and nothing on a...

I was checking the links in my signature and I noticed that my "Support TFP" link was broken. I'm not sure how long it was but if that changed as a result of the upgrade, folks will need to redo that in their signatures. I also clicked on the "Donate" link from the home page and the screen...

User Geebot first posted and referenced this in another thread discussing GPS-like functionality for the new line of Dolphin cleaners, which will include anywhere access to your robot - and potentially wireless robots - though it was unclear to me if that's in the soon to be released new...

Here are my two new (used and sideways) toys. I’m looking forward to mowing again! I’ll be disappointed if I don’t get any “nice toys but wrong color” comments. :D

Interesting pool health story. https://apple.news/An1z408TgT-aHHaHdSjXTpw Another good reason to keep your pool water balanced and sanitized. You never know where it may end up.

Here’s a Hayward 6060 booster pump. It was removed after four years of light duty. Ran once or twice per week for 5 months per year. Removed last spring for a pad replumb and a robot. Local pickup only in central MD. If it being free makes you hesitant, you can pay me $10 bucks or whatever makes...

I purchased these string cafe lights the other day. There are many similar ones available these days. Super impressed with the quality and appearance. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01B4XMMSO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_4tikOmzFPCldw Also bought this Bluetooth outdoor timer. Very nice app to control it...

This is where I'll be.

•. A water line that makes noise when running so I won't accidentally leave it running forever. •. Hot weather in MD in September. Got any?

Last year when we built our pool, the PB added two lines to the main drains which both go back to the equipment pad. One line is plumbed to the side outlets of each drain and goes to the pump then filter. The other line is plumbed to the bottom outlets of each drain, also goes to the equipment...

Spent last summer researching, interviewed five builders in early October, received quotes from 4 of them, selected the builder we wanted to work with in late October (didn't tell him that) and spent the next two months working out the details. Signed our contract on 12/14/12. Permit issued...

I am working on the equipment section of our specs to take to PB’s for quotes. I have a few questions regarding equipment selection. Side note - One of the PB’s only works with Hayward equipment, or so they say. If true, I have no real concern about using it versus Pentair or Jandy. I’m...
