Looking for a reputable pool builder in central Arkansas! Thank you!

I'm currently looking at buying a house with an approximately 30+ year old pool. The liner is less than a year old. The pump was "rebuilt a few years ago". The pool is about 16 by 34 feet with a deep end/diving board (unsure on number of gallons). The water is a lovely shade of green. :) I took...

Thank you so much! I will look into this.

Hello! I am interested in buying a home with an in-ground pool. I don't have any details about the pool other than it is not saltwater and the size is approximately 20x40. Sorry! I'm hoping I can get a little help/direction here, though, as the bottom of the pool liner is covered in wrinkles. I...

I may be overthinking this then... :) If a house was on the lot I'm looking to purchase and you walked out the back door, you'd be facing north.

For those of you that have north facing pools, do you feel you get enough sun on your pool? I am looking into buying a lot that faces south (the backyard faces north). Thanks!

I'm putting up a 14 foot Intex Prism Frame pool this year (instead of my usual Easy Set). I upgraded my pump to the Intex 2,500 gallon, so I also purchased hose converters. I also purchased the waterfall (one of the main reasons I wanted the Prism this year instead of the Easy set - haha), so I...

I just got our pool up and filled over the weekend and finished adding everything today. Here is where I currently stand: FC: 2 (Just added more bleach to bump this up to 6 for the day) pH: 7.2 TA: 50 CYA: 30 (estimating based on what I put in as I didn't realize I didn't have a CYA test -...

Just thought I'd update this in the off chance it may help someone else. :) I could never get a PVC pipe fountain to work for my pool (I experimented with this ALL last summer), so I bought an Intex brand fountain this year. It is made for their metal frame pools, but I was able to rig it up for...

Does anyone know if there are any fountains that will work with the Easy Set? I have a small (12 x 30) Easy Set that was extremely warm with our recent 100 degree temps (thankfully it's cooled off now with some rain, but I'm sure there's more triple digits to come). I ordered a fountain from...

I have a small Intex Easy Set that I put up seasonally on a concrete patio. The past year, especially, I had a lot of mildew/mold growing on the ground cover under and around the pool. I've always used the Gorilla/Rhino pad type cloths. Is there something that would be better as far as...

Sounds like we'll be living with it for now then. :) Thanks for the reply!

I have a Rhino Pad underneath my pool as it is on a concrete pad. It's been up for less than a month and the pad is growing algae! How do I clean it? Do I need to take the whole thing down (it's small - 12 ft x 30 in) and clean everything? Please say no. :) I was going to hose it down to see if...

I just turned on the pump, added all of the bleach and brushed it really good. My question now, though, is how will I know when I'm "done"? My previous overnight loss was only 1, my CC is 0.5 and the water is already clear. Should my overnight loss and CC be lower when it is "done"? Thanks again!

Test results: FC: 3 CC: 0.5 pH: Between 7.5 and 7.8 CYA: 50 or 60 TA: 80 The water is clear, but I am constantly having to brush up/vacuum "dirt", which I now suspect is dead algae, from the pool floor. I get everything "clean" and it's back the next day. It collects mostly in the seams of the...

Awesome! Thank you! :)

I can't seem to find an answer to this one... How much should the frame on my Intex move? I have two older girls who "dive" and jump around in the pool the entire time they're in there and the frame is in constant motion; creaking and swaying. We've only had it up for a few weeks, maybe a month...

Mine doesn't have any discoloration that I can see. It didn't give a code and wouldn't even turn on. It had been working fine until that point, but I've only had it going for a few weeks. Hope that helps!

Thank you so much for all of the replies! The electrician is going to install a second outlet and see if that helps (the big plug on the pump had to be at an angle on the bottom outlet to have to saltwater generator plugged in at the same time, if that makes sense, so he's guessing that's what...

We had an outdoor outlet installed for our pool, however, it has been trouble since day one. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I turned on the pump this morning, then the saltwater generator an hour later, hoping to finally get these things running on their timers (I've been turning them...

Last question! I promise! :) We swam today for the first time during the day and I noticed that the frame and liner seem to sway a little with movement in the pool. I checked the frame legs with a level and none are level front to back (I leveled them only side to side when I set it up). Is this...

Siiigh. Just noticed this. The belt/strap is bunched up around the entire pool. I straightened it while it was filling with water, but I guess it shifted? Can someone please tell me it's OK and I don't have to do something crazy like drain the pool to fix it? :)

Got to finally get in this last night! Wish I could capture how sparkly it is on camera. Thanks, Trouble Free Pool! :)
