    Inground pool poses huge safety concern

    A quick question....they closed the pool. Do we still run the filter from time to time?? Or it's good till next season?

    Inground pool poses huge safety concern

    Sorry for the late reply. We've closed the pool up and for some reason they found the nest and it was a large object. Glad they found it because we didn't h ave to buy another. Here is a picture of our filter system. Same brand...

    Inground pool poses huge safety concern

    Okay I think I filled in the missing information....sry about that. I'll look for the plate because there is large debris and I don't want to mess up anything. Hope someone has it around here. Everyone seems to be packing up any pool equipment. Will shoot out the hose and hope for the best. Be...

    Inground pool poses huge safety concern

    Extremely helpful! Thank you. Ive seen those things there and actually found that long hose in the woods behind the pool (old owner wasn't much into upkeep). The only thing that doesn't look familiar is the plate, which is most likely important. There is already a buildup at the bottom so it...

    Inground pool poses huge safety concern

    I only have an idea how the net works. We do have a floating rope that is tightly across the pool seperating the shallow form the deep. There are floaties on the rope. The old owner left it behind. We had asked for a net to stop a child from going under the rope and our pool guy says that he...

    Inground pool poses huge safety concern

    The bad news is today on closer look the last step under the water has wrinkles on it. That can't be good, right?

    Inground pool poses huge safety concern

    Didn't say. We meet with him Saturday...sounds like he left before the job was done. Because he didn't know that the guys didn't remove the old liner and cover from the yard. We're getting a weighted net. He said he has one....I'll look into an alarm as we look for a skimmer and vacuum.

    Inground pool poses huge safety concern

    Well, we talked to our pool guy and he said that he thinks it will smooth out when more water is put in. That doesn't seem right to me?

    Inground pool poses huge safety concern

    Everyone here is just really really helpful. Thank you very much for the ideas. We did end up not changing the pool and we're just going to net off the shallow end. The pools new liner has been put in and five truck loads of pool water have already been dropped off. We're getting the sixth and...

    Inground pool poses huge safety concern

    Lots of great ideas and of couldn't agree more with safety percautions and supervision. I thought the platforms are really great but they only elevate for a foot or two in shallow ends. Homemade would be very expensive. Update though! Our pool guy is talking to another contractor to price out...

    Inground pool poses huge safety concern

    Unfortunately the slide goes into the deep end. :( The picture doesn't it show it well enough because of the liner bubbled out but that's 12'+drop. I would love for that to be shallow for the kids. Anyone have suggestions on the best life vest? That floating mat is pretty cool. See, you...

    Inground pool poses huge safety concern

    Thank you for your ideas. It really seems there is something you can do whether it's add something or change the design. We don't want to go into debt doing it and also void the liner warranty by securing something. So this is a pain. I understand teaching our girls to swim better but I keep...

    Inground pool poses huge safety concern

    I honestly thought that had to do with the heater? But I'll have to ask. I always assume lights lined the pool walls?

    Inground pool poses huge safety concern

    Our girls are four and 12 along with another on the way. :-) We're going to get the girls life vest and try to net off the shallow end while teaching them to swim (the oldest has some trouble with it). They'll never go in the pool unsupervised but that shallow part is very small. Sry didn't get...

    Inground pool poses huge safety concern

    We bought our dream house and it's a fixer upper. It came with a massive L shaped inground pool (always wanted an inground pool) that had a sunken in loop loc cover on it that needs to be restored (tadpole paradise, yard was neglected for at least 6 yrs). Work started and after they drained the...
