About 3' below pool water level.

We also had a safety cover installed as we have a little kid. We get a lot of snow here as well and have alot of water on top of cover, certainly enough to be a hazard. We were told by our pool store that the water will start to drain through cover as it ages and this is normal. We could have...

Thanks for the help. We were told to keep water in crock under a foot, which is next to impossible, otherwise the liner will get wrinkles in it or float up. If it was this terribly important we thought they would have made us buy a overpriced pump as a scare tactic.

We had a inground pool put in last summer. They installed a culvert pipe to serve as a sump. We have had a ton of water running into pipe requiring constant pumping whenever it rains. With the snow melting the last few days we are again pumping alot. They didn't hit water when they were digging...

Yes, the heater is 220v.

I ran 4 wires to sub panel ( red, black, white and ground). From sub panel I ran red, black and ground to pump and heater on separate breakers. There is also a light and a automation system on their own breakers using 110v coming out of sub panel.

I am trying to wire a 220v pump and heater. There are a red, black and a green wire coming from pump and heater. I am being told I need a white neutral but no one can tell me where it gets hooked up at. Anyone have any idea? Thanks

Acid went in skimmer, SWG was on for 20 minutes, she read instructions on container before I got home. Will see what happens. Thanks

We need to add cyanuric acid to our new pool. Do we turn off SWG before, why, how long? Also removing solar cover, how long? When is is safe to swim? Thanks, Doug

I am installing a Jandy power center and it says to mount 5' high. Is that to bottom or top of enclosure? Panel is 2' tall making it 7' high if from bottom, making it unusable for my short wife.

We are looking to install a Jandy Aqualink RS4 along with a Purelink power center with breaker sub panel. Is this box considered a disconnect for code purposes?

We are trying to decide between 2 builders. One uses flexible pvc the other rigid, that is pretty much the only difference between them. Which is better? We live south of Buffalo NY so there is a lot of frozen ground here if that makes a difference.

Sorry, we are looking at a vinyl liner pool.

We have been talking to a few PB and are getting conflicting information. One builder says they want to build a oval pool since they are much stronger than rectangular. Another wants to build a rectangular with 2' radius corners and says it doesn't matter and we gain a bit of swimming room. We...
