hybrid pool

Hey all, I became a pool owner last year and have quickly turned into a full-blown pool nerd — and a TFP evangelist. 🤓 With the size of our pool, I couldn’t help but feel like the flow was just too dang low. I wanted to share my experience doing some pad-side plumbing upgrades this past week...

Hello, I am currently/slowly restoring a hybrid pool that seems to have been installed in the 80-90's and will be redoing most of the pool myself. I will need to replace the skimmer but am struggling to find the same or like equivalent. (Photos attached). The main drain is a hayward with...

Okay, I’ve scoured old threads and photos to no avail. I’ve been working on removing my mastic and noticed this cable in the (likely incredibly too large) cavity. It appears to be galvanized steel cable / rope / wire. I thought it first to be the bonding wire but after reading those seem to be...

Hi there! 40yo with the audacity to attempt the solo rehab of all rehabs using YouTube and TFP. If you’ve got words of encouragement- join me! If you’re not the encouraging type- please don’t make me cry. Lol here’s the scoop… Purchased late 2021. The house house a gorgeous picture window that...

Hi Guys, We have a 1970's hybrid pool with concrete bottom fiberglass side panels. If I'm not mistake I believe the previous owner had the bottom covered in fiberglass. I was looking to have it professional refinished but the prices are around the same amount of having it removed and filled in...

Hey y'all, Grew up with a pool so know basics but just bought a house with a neglected hybrid pool (concrete bottom/fiberglass walls). Seller disclosed a "$1k leak coming from the steps" but I am doing due diligence to ensure everything is good. What I've done so far: Drained algae-infested...

Have been searching for a few years now on alternatives to refurb an older hybrid pool. I have read countless threads going back many years, so I won't beat a dead horse with this. My pool does not leak at all, it just looks dated and am trying to think of some TLC. Like many in other areas...

I finally got around to putting my installation timelapse together! This took place over 4 days in August. Sorry about the occasional glare (it's the reflection of the tripod on the window). The pool is a Fox Ultimate which is an onground (also called hybrid or semi-inground). Enjoy...

So my wife and I recently purchased a home with a hybrid pool. This thing was a frog pond but we have hope for it. So far we have cleared some landscaping, cleaned out the pool, and had the plumbing pressure tested. One return failed so my father in law cut out a portion of the deck and...

So who else here has fallen victim to "youtube DIY Fraud"? We had this brilliant idea last year of doing our own landscaping and paving stone walk ways, armed with more confidence than sense, an overly supportive spouse and a bunch of 20 minute youtube videos we figured we would be able to...
