We live just outside of Austin, TX and purchased our home at the end of 2023. Pool was installed by previous owners in mid-2022. After moving in, we noticed some cracks, but they started getting progressively worse in the past few months. We recently heard about the ASR issues in the area, and...

Hello everyone! We're just getting started on a new pool build at our new house in Austin, TX. After following so many threads here on TFP and learning a TON, we decided to go the BYOP route and I'll be managing the build (and possibily doing some of the work myself where it makes sense) rather...

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...

Hey all, I’m looking to build out a stenner chlorine pump for my pool in Austin, TX. It seems like getting a low % chlorine in a 55 gallon drum would simplify pool season and the stenner build. Anyone know where I could by a 55 gallon drum of chlorine in Austin? Any other bulk options? Thank...

Hello all. First time posting here. We just received a quote in Austin, Texas for a 16x32 geometric pool with Spa (not included in the 16x32) for $93k (not including the deck). It's expensive to build a pool in Austin right now, but the kids aren't getting any younger (5 and 6) so here we go...

Hi everyone, We are getting ready to sign the contract for our new in ground pool in Austin, TX. Pool is a bit on the smaller size (15' x 20', ~8000G) to keep enough yard space for the kiddos. The PB is strongly recommending the UV + Ozone but lots of reading on TFP has me leaning towards SWG...

Hi, I've been browsing for a while, and actually got started here learning how to keep our spa clear. We are just getting started evaluating a bid for this. I'll take all the advice I can get, but have a few specifics to follow up on below. I'll plan to post pictures as we progress through the...

I am about to move into a new house and want to retrofit the pool with a SWG. I am having a hard time finding a reputable contractor to do it. Does anyone have suggestions? PLEASE HELP! PS - I know they somehow think it will damage my coping, equipment, etc but I am on TFP and know the real...

We are getting close to signing a contract for our first pool in Austin, TX. We've met with three PBs and are leaning towards the specs provided below. We've also considered adding a small spa, but as you can see we do not have much space and unfortunately there is no natural gas in our...
