My pool came with a diving board and we are in the process of remodeling. The base consisted of two u-shaped stanless tubes that were poured integral with the 4-inch concrete slab. I was a little surprised to find there was not a footer or more concrete underneath. There was some steel that...

Mark, I am following this thread as well, as I am going to be in this same boat in the near future. This is probably a silly question, but what do you mean by "pad"? Does that mean reducers are put on the 2" before they go into the pump? The information you provided is great I was just a...

I had the same problem. I also went to Lowes and got some tubing and related pieces for much less than the kits. However, I can not find the spray caps anywhere. I was not able to reuse mine as they crumbled when I removed them. Anyone have any luck finding these little caps? Riles

At some point I plan to get a freeze protection timer put on my pump as I leave my pool open year round. I also have plans to add solar panels in the future. Is there anything out there that takes care of both of these needs in one unit? Seems like a bit of duplication to pay $230 for a...

midtngal, Another option you may or may not have considerred is not covering it at all. I live in Nashville as well, and many around these parts do not cover their pool in the winter. The advantages are you don't have to go through the closing/opening process, you don't have to purchase...

This may not be the right post, as I don't have a solar cover, but I am just curious how big (diameter) the cover is rolled onto a reel? I have limited deck space on the end of my 16x32' IG pool where I would want to locate a reel. Riles

I personally grew up around with a pool and have many fond memories associated with it as kid. I knew when the opportunity arose I wanted to have a pool of my own some day. Now I finally have one and me a family absolutely love it! Hopefully my kids will be able to enjoy some the long lasting...

Some more close-ups pics or details of how this DIY reel comes together would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Riles

OK, I have been looking for this design that Matt 4x4 used that is being referred to here and can not find it. Matt? Are you going to share?

I have the Baja chair and I think it is a great float. The only thing I was a little disappointed in is the fact that the floating position looks more upright in the pictures than it actually is. I wanted something that I could sit upright in, but when you sit in this lounge you actually...

I purchased this alarm about a month ago and thought I would post my review. The unit is fairly easy to install, just drill a hole in your concrete, insert a 9v battery and stick it in the pool. That's about all there is to the install. The unit seems to work fairly well. It is activated by...
