    Be sure you read the bleach labels

    I just wanted to remind our members how important it is to read the labels on household bleach before you use it in your pool. I had noticed what looked like a good price on store brand bleach ($1.25 for 64 ounces). When looking at the label the strength was 1.5%! Splash Free bleach (which we...

    The DIY waterpark

    As seen in Zillow Gone Wild! Facebook page: Why add just one dinky slide when you can have 3! Admittedly the orange slide is more of a dump shoot, but still 3 slides! Imagine all the fun of crashing into the opposite wall of the pool when you eject from the blue slide! The green slide is...

    For those who have converted - I want to know if there is any chlorine odor or dry feeling on the skin after swimming

    A SWG will require a little space on a wall or post, electrical supply and approximately 12" of pipe run after the heater. It needs to be the last thing before water returns to the pool. Like Lee said, test drive the chlorine first and see if you like it before investing in an SWG. You can...

    RIP Rusty Vogue Pool

    I'm writing this post to document the demise of my AGP in August 2017. I noticed the rust when the pool was 6 years old, and it failed 5 years later. My Vogue pool was installed in 2006. This photo is a couple of years later, but notice how straight the fence on the side is at this time. The...

    RIP above ground pool

    Not mine but a couple of miles down the road. You can’t really see it in the picture, but there was rust along the bottom edge and the point of failure looks like the return area. If you want your steel AGP to last you have to stay on top of the rust. We have been pounded by prolonged...

    Echo weed eater keeps stalling

    i've had this beast for three years now. It keeps stalling. I edge maybe 10 feet of curb and it stalls out. I've tried different throttle settings, I've checked the air filter, and I use Trufuel 50:1 gas oil mix. Any ideas what the problem could be?

    How to clear your pool, aka Taking one for the team!

    This is my personal backyard swamp! There is a huge oak just to the right of this pool that manages to drop every single leaf it possesses into the pool. I would like to say that I allowed my pool to go swampy as an altruistic sacrifice to demonstrate how easy it is to take your pool from...

    Can any of you fine folk who recommended I purchase an Echo srm 225 help me?

    I purchased this weed wacker last year, along with the rapid load head based on recommendations from the fine members of TFP. This year I am tiring to install the rapid load head and I am having a tough time figuring out which of the many "universal adapters" I need, since none of them seem to...
