Hi All, About a month ago I was given a super-janky Intex EasySet 15' pool w/cartridge filter pump for free. I've managed to keep it alive for the last 4wks, and with daily doses of 10% liquid bleach it's been algae-free and mostly clear the entire time (minus the fine dirt/dust floating around...

Hi All, I was given a used Intex EasySet 15' ABG and accessories last weekend. Unfortunately, it had a rip in the inflatable ring. I was gonna toss it out, but decided to tape a bunch of pool noodles I've acquired over the years together and threaded them in there instead. This afternoon I...

Hi All, We finally decided it's time to start reaching out to PBs to get some quotes for a pool build. COVID put things on hold, but we're looking to get something started within the next 8-12 months if all goes well. I'm hoping that some TFP'ers from the Austin and surrounding areas might be...

Hi All, We're contemplating an in-ground pool sometime in the next year or two and I started thinking about additional amenities such as a bathroom/shower area. In terms of costs, I was curious which might be a more cost-effective option. I know it's a pretty subjective subject, but just...

Hi All, I've been searching the city website and found some code info regarding residential pools, but haven't come across my specific question, which is, 'Does Austin, TX have a code restriction that prevents new pool construction in a 100yr floodplain, in a yard that backs up to a small...

Hi All, We've decided that it's time to seriously plan for putting an inground pool in our small backyard. It was always our intention when we bought the house 11 years ago, and now we're finally ready to put things in motion. We know we want a saltwater pool, most likely a small-ish free-form...

Hi All, We're considering an IG pool for our backyard and I was wondering how much pool size or volume affects the build cost? For example, is a 15,000 gal pool significantly less than a 20,000 gallon pool? Or would the difference be minimal? I'd love to hear some examples just to get an idea...

Hi All, I'm narrowing down a pool package and would like to get some feedback. This will be our first pool so we're not looking to spend a ton of money, but we would like half-decent components. Here's what I've selected so far: 15'x54" Saltwater 8000 Round Pool w/Hayward Thru-Wall Skimmer &...

Hi All, My wife and I are hoping to pull the trigger on an AGP around the end of the year. We're looking at doing a professionally installed partial burial and adding a SWG. I've narrowed down the selection to two models, one that warranties burial, but is a lesser known brand and more...

Hi All, I posted on here a couple times a few years ago, but our plans were put on hold. We've now decided to pick things up again and move forward with an in-ground pool in our small, flat backyard (75ft wide x 35ft deep, see attached pics). Questions abound, but with the help of this fine...

Hi All, My wife and I are interested in a basic, no-frills, swimming pool for our home. We're not interested in anything custom, so a basic off-the-shelf fiberglass pool seems the way to go, especially with regards to the long-term maintenance. We like the Liesure Pools' products, such as the...
