Since all my other equipment is indoors, I'd like to place my heater indoors as well. As you can see, I pre-plumbed tees for installing. I have not purchased one yet, so I don't know if it will even fit. I just hoped to get a professional opinion on the practicality,safety, etc. Does anyone have...

So yesterday I found a huge dead mole in the skimmer. I thought it was a rat at first. I clean it out every day or so thank goodness but my guess is it had been there 18-24 hrs. I have probably found over a dozen mice, lots of frogs, salamanders, etc. before, but this was the largest so far...

So I was wondering on the tail end of a shock process when you can safely swim? What are the effects of swimming in higher than normal FC levels?

Looking to buy a heater soon and I am debating if it could go inside with the rest of the equipment. I assume it would need to be vented. I was thinking it may fit to the left of the filter. Any expert thoughts?

So I had the water near perfect and yesterday I got a little polymeric sand in the pool while finishing up paver deck. I vacuumed the actual sand out last night, but the water is pretty cloudy. I am guessing from the other additives that dissolved. Hasn't effected test results really, but I...

Somehow during pool house cleanup I must have thrown away the small comparison sheet for ph that comes in the small blue kit in the TF100. Does anyone know if I can get this sheet without having to buy the whole kit? I'd hate to buy it all since I have only performed one ph test before losing...

So I got my autopilot yesterday and plan to plumb tonight. The manifold is built well and thus has some weight to it. I am concerned about this weight "sagging" my pipe and stressing the glue joints over time. Should I elbow down and plumb on the floor and add friction loss? or Should I keep it...

Thank goodness for this website! I am getting closer to my backyard dream and hope some of you experts can help me to the finish line. If I can finish by May 1st it will have been an 8 month project. I am currently almost ready to start installing pavers. I first have to finish 20" tall planter...

I am in the middle of a self-build and I am starting to worry about the weather regarding my liner installation. I have the poolcrete bottom down, but I don't have the equipment pad(poolhouse) ready yet, nor do I have the coping stone installed yet. I am thinking the stone install will be much...

I'm about to self-install a 20x40 IG liner pool and I'm wondering? Besides pouring small concrete slabs in the areas for my ladder and handrail, how can I adequately secure them if I plan to use pavers for the patio? Also, I am planning for umbrella sleeves. Anyone know of a good material to use...

First off, thanks for all the info here. I plan to start a self install IG Liner pool in the next week or so. My worry is not with the build itself, but I do have a couple of questions that may save some regret in the future. I will be building a pool house with equipment inside after the pool...
