Anyone have any great advice (rapidly) for getting a large amount of shattered glass off the bottom of the pool? Thankfully, it was not circulating at the time the table was smashed, thanks to a gust sucking the umbrella out. Worried this is the end for our liner. It's a LOT. Thanks for any...

Hi everyone, Like others, we’ve noticed that in our region bleach is now unattainable, and honestly I feel weird buying lots of bleach for the pool when it may be needed elsewhere. So, we took the plunge and ordered a SWG. Very excited about it now, actually. I don’t know how long we’ll be...

We haven't tested it yet (I know, I know), but I suspect we have hard water. Any suggestions? Summer is FINALLY HERE!!!!!

Hello! We are back to the pool after winter hibernation. It's great to be browsing new pool ideas again and seeing what others are up to. For us, this year's goal was to put a deck on the pool. These pictures are a bit of a lie- this was last week and the deck wasn't done yet, but I cropped...

I've searched and can't seem to find a clear answer on this. We got the J hook liner nicely put in last fall, but now we can't figure out how to remove it. It's so tight, and we don't want to break it. Any help is greatly appreciated!

We finally went with the TFPC system in our pool and it's THE BOMB. LOVE IT. Our hot tub is a bromine system and we hadn't quite got the knack of that. It's time to drain and we'll install an ozonator we bought this weekend. Two questions- 1. Should we convert to chlorine after we empty...

Hi all, We've been lurking for a couple years with just a few posts. We started with a used 20' x 48" Intex and zero knowledge and made all kinds of the usual mistakes- "this spot looks pretty level to me" sort of thing. We've come a long way and last summer the Intex gave up the ghost after...

Hi all, We bought our Intex Ultraframe 20' used from friends two years ago for $150. We made all the classic first mistakes, and some un-classic mistakes, and read volumes here (all very helpful!). We are hooked and vow never to be pool-less again. However, the Intex now has 6 patches on the...
