Re: Talking to contractor, backfill and liner stairs questio I built my pool last year with full width steps and my back fill was all pea gravel my concrete guy said in deep fills 3/4 will settle some and I did not want to compact next to pool wall this would make the walls bow in. I also...

I did a pool build last year and did an Aqualink with 3 pumps 1 for waterfalls and 1 for booster pump and 1 for pool filtration slide and deck jets. My pool is a salt water pool with vsp pump and I can do anything I want from my iPhone. I can turn up or down pump adjust pool temp adjust salt...

I built a liner pool this year and ran into water at a bought 4 to 5 feet and pumped out 100 gal a minuet during the build. If you do a liner pool I would use composit walls and you need to have at least 2 feet of cement around pool to lock in the walls. I would also use stone backfill so if you...

You can do more with the app or PDA than on the Box. You don't need timers or the separate controller for a vsp pump with the jandy equipment as it runs of the 6614. Box but you need an inside hard wired controller. If you don't go that way you need the PDA with Aqua link or the app. I just went...

I just put in a jandy system with a vsp pump and salt water I didn't go with the PDA and have the app on my iPad and iPhone with aqua link. You can do everything with the app and save mony. I run my pump on a low speed most of the time and the electric bill is almost unchanged. Pump is jep2...

I just built my pool an I did the 2 main drains setup for mine I have 2-2foot falls and 1-4foot. We used a jandy wtf120 pump and ran it through a filter. Worked out great.

I just ran across this and it looks just like the PCS cover I put on my pool may need to call and find dealer to get the part. Bracket bolts on for the magnetic sensor for auto stop for opening and closing. Good luck

I just talked to my building inspector today and the bonding wire must be attached to the my walls which are metal in 4 places as well as 18 to 24 inches from pool wall and bonded to all rebar in pool deck. He said best to use 6x6 mats as this would be much less bonding.

You should get so many min per yard. Any extra time they will charge for but the savings will be worth the work. I would make shur you have 3 of you there to pour the cement and I would use an 8 in bond beam. When the truck comes have the cement just wet enough to be easy to level flat shovel ...

I'm about to form my steps for Friday and was wondering how much water is on your top step and How tall from top step to pool deck. The joys of DIY thanks for any help and your pool looks great!

I'm doing DIY inground right now also. I had to put two 10 inch pipes in and 3/4 stone under deep end with two 2 inch dewatering pumps this is giving me a dry bottom and clear water at 80 to 100 gal per min. Good luck!

Looks like the form was removed after concrete had set. The forms should have Been taken of and finished with the deck. I am about to do same cover with coping forms myself. Not shure there is a good way grind it down. Some type of top coat may be best.

Try to find a paving co they all need water for rollers.The trucks should have a pump on it.
