I apologize for delays in reporting here. Just settling down after a cruise to celebrate our 50th and then a bout of covid to celebrate our cruise. Regarding the pool, it's rock solid and level. It's the deck that's risen up on the shallow end by about an inch. Expansive soil is the culprit...

We'll see what the verdict is after laser level measurements and the like. Could be trouble in paradise!

Still waiting to have PB come inspect. However, I don't think it can be a minor thing. City inspection didn't require a soils report to my knowledge--and PB said if we kept depth under 7.5 feet no special engineering was needed. Pool inspector praised the work and said it was first rate...

Yea, I'd be happier if it were the deck sinking rather than the pool as it appears to be. PB is going to inspect in person and we'll see what they say.

LOL! at least it helps to laugh...Just realized a possibly bigger issue with some possible pool settling. A little research shows me I'm not alone with that either. Got a call in to pool builder to find out how big an issue--maybe water leak?

So we're in the process of having the pebble subcontractor do some serious underwater buffing. It may be a bit better but still very noticable blotches. Will update when we have a result and conclusion. Thanks for the helpful information. Seems to be a bit of cost/benefit analysis involved...

Greetings all. Built the pool of our dreams last year--finished just about late July 2021 and overall very happy with features and functionality. However, very unhappy with the pool mini pebble surface. We went with a light color--I believe NPT Aqua Cool Mini. Unfortunately, the surface is...

Thanks, Jeffchap. I'll pick up the recommended kit on Amazon I think. One other question, I'm currently running a fifty foot extension out to the filter and SWG from my spa GFCI outlet and put the outlet connections off the ground about four feet in a handy tree trunk--pretty much out of the...

So I purchased a lightly used Intex 8110 SWG from Craigslist and have it set up now. Referring to the instruction manual, it says I have 3736 gallons in my Easy Set 15x48 pool and need 0.9 lbs of cyanuric acid and 95 lbs of salt. I had a little less than a quarter of a 40 pound bag of salt the...

Thanks Jeff and Casey. Yes, the 637R came with the pool, so I'll use that for now and look at the Intex SWG. Right now I also need to get my CYA up, so I'm hearing I should use dichlor shock instead of liquid chlorine for awhile?
