small pool

👋New to the site here. 2 questions : 1: I put up a new Coleman steel max 14x36 this summer and my question is can I leave it up for winter? I’ve heard of it being done successfully even though I think the manufacturer says not to. The method I read about is similar to a typical metal wall pool...

Background: Last year, I had this small inflatable 10x6' pool that kept deflating every other day. It served its purpose well though and I learned a little about what it takes to maintain it and kept the water nice clean with granular chlorine throughout the summer and a simple tarp over it and...

Hello! We are currently building a small 1,600 gallon (not 16k!) pool/hot tub (no jets) & trying to decide on a Salt system that works for this "in-between" size where there isn't much info. The husband wants an in-line system (versus drape over). We also plan to use it at varying temps...

What will make this spool come to life? Mediterranean/Tuscan/Spanish style shrubs, ground cover, small-medium olive or lemon tree. Would love to hear your ideas! We are a blank slate starting from scratch. Ideas for how to provide some shade over the pool? The pool gets all the HOT afternoon sun?

Hello Friends, I am so happy to have found this forum. Just a couple of months ago my wife and I bought a little soft sided pool for our little girl - a Bestway 12 x 22’ x 48” oval. On the cheap side, I know. Again, I can’t overstate how educational this forum has proved to be. I...

So I know heating a pool cost a lot, but If these calculations are within this range it might be ok. I'm in northern california. our natural gas is provided by PG&E. I checked my bill and found that we pay $1.36 cents to $1.89 per therm, up from 92 cents – $1.40 in 2012. In addition, there is a...

Why does the hole look small? Pool gets sprayed Tuesday. It’s 18x38 freeform. Anyone else feel that?

I have a small (5000 gal) concrete in-gound pool with a spa. The chlorine generator works well to keep free chlorine at a good level. My Ph, however, is ALWAYS high. If I add 24 oz of dry acid, the Ph level will be good the next day. Then the following day it will be above 8. I've been told a...

Just bought my son a little summer wave metal frame pool 10 foot round by 30 inches deep water level probably around 24 inches deep. I leveled out a section in my yard which was at a slope I have it boxed in with lanscape timber’s . It’s a 12x15 area question is I leveled it the best that I...

Hi All, I am new to owning a pools and of course have never built one before but here I am. I know nothing about the construction process of building a pool but have been following along on this forum for a few days now reading all the comments and suggestions on the beautiful new pools on here...

Three days ago, discovered cloudy water, FC at 0, opened filter pump to see white chunky bits in water and filter. Also found whitish slimy substance clinging onto leaves at pool bottom. I believe from reading for hours on the forums here, that it's white mold. Immediately began SLAM process and...

So I have been fairly fastidious on maintaining my water chemistry. However, after some significant rain, I have an algae bloom. My chlorine (by tablet) is high as is my free chlorine. How do I get an algae bloom with high chlorine? What am I doing wrong. Says my ph is low. I thought...

Hi. Brand new to this site and forum. Also new to owning a pool. Just bought a 10ft round pool for my kids - stands 2.5 ft tall. Based on my calculations (using the formula Pi x Radius squared x depth of pool x 7.5) 3.14 x (5x5) x 2.5 x 7.5= 1472 I’m estimating the pool to be under 1500...
