Hey, just tuned back in after a couple of days off and I’m not ashamed to admit a little overwhelmed by a lot information. I‘m going to have to print a bunch of this out and take a closer look at some of the technical info. Based on one read through without going to back to look up things I...

Yep, I was also wondering from the pictures if the skimmers would even work but I think Dirk nailed it. In the current configuration, the water level in the basins and the water level in the pool are the same. There is no visible movement or draw of water even with the drains at the bottom of...

OMG snake pits! I’m not even going to consider that one. I have thought of maybe just filling the weirs in with concrete but I’m concerned about how that might impact the pool circulation. It would leave only the two wall drains that are almost at the bottom of the pool which is about 5ft...

Well we had a pool installed this summer and I have learned a lot from this website. Things to worry about, things not to worry about, chemistry and some really beautiful pools. I wasn’t expecting to ever put up a post but here I am. I’m going to try an keep this simple but I’m looking for a...
