dirt

Hi, Long story short, we have a ton of dirt in the pool and need to get rid of it post 1yr of construction. I'm looking for the easiest/most cost effective way to address that situation. I've tried vacuuming, but noticed after a mere minute of it that dirt was being pushed back into the pool...

Hi Pool Gurus, I am in year 3 of pool ownership. I have learned so much from this forum and I thank all of you for making me a more confident and knowledgable pool owner. I have learned how to maintain, open and close my pool from all of you generous individuals. Many thanks. Last season when...

Hi all! Had some questions about my new plaster. The pool was filled last Thursday and they left us a brush to brush the plaster over the weekend. They are doing a 7 day start up, However i guess i brushed too hard? Is that a thing? Because the dirt on the tanning ledge and steps embedded...

Hey guys - wondering if you guys could help me figure out an issue I'm having with my pool regarding sand/dirt in the pool. Right now, I have to vacuum it once a week, which I know doesn't sound terrible, but that week is me waiting until it gets bad enough to where I need to vacuum it. There...

Hello everyone! I have a 24' round above ground pool that was installed before I moved in (it sounds like possibly 20 years ago). It was built in a hill with retaining walls on the high and low sides. When we moved in we saw the wall on the low side was leaning out. Over the past 3 years it...

After hemming and hawing on the pool location we finally settled to push the pool further away from the porch. My neighbor used his backhoe to dig out roughly 34" on the high side. For those who are interested, the installer would have charged $25/inch after 4". I have a 3' perimeter around...

We had our Pentair 1hp Superflo pump crack from the Texas winter storm and I replaced the pump with a Superflo 1.5hp pump. Ever since then I have very fine dirt in the pool. I have vacuumed twice and it always returns. Granted I didn't vacuum to waste because I thought the dirt was from high...

Almost done leveling (thank God!) I had to go down a few inches on one side and about 10” on the other. On theside I went down further, the soil is different than the shallow side. It’s a more sandy fill dirt rather than a topsoil type of dirt. I am sinking 4 inch concrete blocks under the...

Hi, My name is Theresa. I am new to this forum. I'm very frustrated. Well, so is my husband. We've had an in-ground pool for 18 years. The past couple of years it has been getting harder and harder to get it clean and clear. This year we are actually thinking of draining it completely, cleaning...
