Hi All. I don't want to give up our fun family time in the water just yet. How can I keep my pool open for longer? Seems like solar is the way to go, but we don't have a south facing roof or place in yard to do a stand (I think). We have a west facing roof right next to the pool and it is...

My parents bought this tub new and kept it well maintained, on a cement slab, protected from weather on 3 sides, under patio cover... and they are offering to give it to me. Is it worth paying to have it moved? Everything was working fine when they last used it a few years ago. They drained it...

Hello Everyone. Pool has been great thanks to TFP! I started with CYA of 70-80 (testing w/ t100 kit and have SWG) and it is now down to 50. I assume it was splashed out because my kids don't really swim in the pool, they just jump and jump and jump... Ph always runs high due to the...

I searched and read many posts on this subject and it seems I may need to "inspect the laterals", as I think I've covered the other recommendations on this issue, but I'm not sure, so please advise. If I do need to inspect the laterals, any tips on getting the sand out and back in the filter...

I have a Hawyard wide mouth skimmer and the weir does not go down when the pump turns on, so I can not put my pump on auto mode until I fix this problem.

Finally! The earth is moving! My yard has quite a slope and we decided to scrape the dirt down to get a level site for the pool. Can anyone give me some ideas about finishing the edges on the sides where we had to dig down? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Local HD did not have filter sand and ran out of pool salt, so I went to the pool store. I told them I needed #20 filter sand for intex sand filter, but it doesn't say that on the package. Also, the salt bag says it's very pure, but doesn't list the purity percentage. When I asked about it, the...

Any reason I shouldn't try to use this as a platform for my little one to stand on in the pool? Thinking of putting weight in the boxes for stability and possibly covering the top with a plastic textured sheet called "poly wall" I found at HD. The shelf is rated for 200 lbs per shelf and is very...

Hello and thank you! I've been lurking for a few weeks now, as I tried to decide which AGP to purchase. I have a few ideas, but way more questions than answers, so I signed up and I'm hoping to learn from all of you.Here are a few of the things I have not figured out yet: 1. Sand or foam under...
