    Cracks in NEW Pool plaster

    My neighbors had a problem with their first plaster job. Their pool builder had a second guy come out to re-plaster it. I made sure to use the second plaster guy when I remodeled my pool. Most pool builders have a warranty on the plaster as long as you follow all their start up instructions.

    How long after new plaster until acid utilization goes down

    I have added many jugs of acid since getting my pool re-plastered and I was hoping that after a while I would not have to add as much acid. I performed all the startup techniques and the plaster dust has not been visible for a month or more. The pool was re-plastered a little over 2 months ago...

    Need help with new spa that was added onto existing pool by an idiot

    Are there any pool builders on this forum that I can message with about how I can fix this? I am planning to run bigger pipes from the pad to the spa. I assume I only need to run 3 pipes (1 for water to jets, 1 for water from drain, and 1 for air). I also plan to re-do the jets at some point...

    Need help with new spa that was added onto existing pool by an idiot

    I uncapped the pipe and no bubbles appear. Also there is no suction. I'm not sure what the pipe does. It may not even be hooked up to anything. I have to dig up the pipe anyway since it is also 1.5 inch pipe so I will see where it goes. I have to drain the spa before I can replace the...

    Need help with new spa that was added onto existing pool by an idiot

    He ran 3 pipes to the spa. before I got plaster, I tested the pipes with a shop vac and one blew to the drains, one blew to the jets, and one didn't seem to blow to anything. That last one is currently capped off and some people thought that is where the blower would go. I assume he didn't do...

    Tulsa OK Remodel

    The only guy I trust is Mark at Blue Water Pools. Tell him Ryan from Indian Springs sent you. Mark did mine and my neighbor's plaster and they look great. He can also build a new pool or do the whole remodel. In my case I only needed plaster since I had started with another guy that ran off...

    Need help with new spa that was added onto existing pool by an idiot

    I hired a pool guy that had good references but he seemed lazy and sloppy. One day he quit talking to me and I found out he ran off on his wife and kids for some chick and left me with a lot of unfinished work and not much money left in my remodel budget. I finally got it all finished and had...

    Tulsa OK Remodel

    I have been shopping around to get my pool remodeled in Broken Arrow, OK since April and I can tell you I have not found a good pool company. I won't mention names but they all seem like unreliable people out to rob you. Some of them give a cheap guess quote on the phone and then come out and...
