DH muttering about bigger pool next year...

has fantasies of giving it all up to be a pool boy...

I have a mahoosive paddling pool, that the kids can swim in, does that count? Currently 6 kids in it as I speak. I can float leisurely in it when they are not around.

OK I need some help here. How do I stop the water going green in our 10 ft pool? We put chemicals in and have a filter already.

I would love a 12 ft semi rigid one. Anyone recommend theirs?

you need to scopp all the grass out, and are oyu using enough chlorine?

but who cares - by then its Autumn - we resewed ours last year and it was perfect again in about 4 weeks

yes, have to get all the bits out of it after use.

our grass grew back , although the lawn was bald for a while

itsa stick with a bag on the end you shove your hose on ti..

oh ill show you

cant find one.
its a stick that runs water through it and catches grass in a net bag at the end

we have a 12 foot metal framed one

had it three days

lovely

but I am scared about gecko trying to get into it herself when we aren't watching

no oyu have to do it
the filter you turn on and leave

A question pool owners - I have one of these 15 foot easy up things with an inflatable ring around the top. Yesterdya when i was trying to fill it I hadn't inflated the ring properly (oops) and hundreds of gallons of water swooshed over the garden and almost flooded the kitchen. Its currently half full and I have inflated the ring properly this time but I realise that it seems to have filled lolling over to one side, rather than with its circular footprint flat on the ground, which means if I refill it, I think the same thing will happen again? Is that correct? Do I have no option but to drain it, make sure the footprint is properly flat this time and start all over again?

yep, you have to get it flat and as wrinkle free on the bottom as you can before you start filling.

yes I think so.
i am entertained at myself giving out al this advice when DH does it all!

LOl
ill ask him

I REALLY want to get one of these but they cost a bomb and I'm worried about paying and getting ripped off. I'm also worried that I wouldn't be able to get in and out via ladder (it looks very narrow and not too sturdy!)
