So our neighbors had a crummy tree crew cut down some trees this week and in their clean up using leaf blows they sent a cloud of dirt our way and now our pool the worse it’s been in 6 years since building. I’ve got the pump running on high and have been vaccing the bottom and already cleaned...

When we built the pool in 2014 we installed 3 Jandy Pro Nicheless LED lights and all was good until late summer 2016 when the first one stopped working on the blue LED which cause most of the colors to look a little odd. We usually kept the lights on dark blue as it looked so nice at night. A...

We are thinking about getting a standalone hot tub for this fall and winter to have off to the side of our pool deck. Not looking for anything crazy, just a warm spot when the pool is cold. Any recommendations of what to look for or to stay away from? Are 110v models sufficient? Sent from my...

We have 2 deck jets individually plumbed, when they are on it seems too loud so I have been trying to find a water to lower this without losing the distance of the arch. I contacted Jandy but they don't have other nozzle options. I found I could insert a piece of rubber tubing with a smaller...

This is our first winter with a pool and we are keeping open all winter. As the temps got down to single digits last night we had a nice layer of ice form on top except for near the returns and skimmers so far so good. My thoughts then turn to what happens and how long of a power outage would...

As the title states we plan to leave the pool open as it is a huge focal point in our yard but should we blow the the deck jet lines and shut over the flow to these for the winter or just keep them open with water flowing? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I thought I would post the wiring info provided from Hayward as apparently it is slightly different than in the past and this threw my electrician for a loop. We ended up running on low speed for a while until I sat down to figure it out. Hopefully the images come out alright

I opened our cartridge filter for the first time since the install and start up 3 months ago. Does the one on the left look normal, too dirty or could I have gone longer. I run the aquabot cleaner once to twice a week depending on weather and pool use. But I am happy to say we have had a nice...

Our pool has been up and running for about 6 weeks now and water is looking really good. I am still playing with the SWG as the weather has been all over the chart this summer. FC 4.5 Ph 7.2 to 7.5 I'm not good with differentiating the colors CYA 35 TA 70 Water temp was 81 this morning, we...

We recently completed our DIY install with some PB help and when the pump is on the gauge on the cartridge filter barely moves, if I shut off some of the returns I can cause the needle to go up higher. There seems to be good pressure at the returns and I can force the deck jets to shoot over the...

The pool is up and running and want to transition from bleach that was used before the pump was wired to the SWG, any input on what % and how long I should run the pump to keep the chlorine level correct?

I am ready to backfill around the pool but have a small drip that appears to be coming from around the threads on the large but that holds the return to the metal wall. Any ideas as I'm not sure how water is getting to that point? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hopefully the liner will be installed this weekend and we can start adding water. We are filling off the house/ city water so it shouldn't have any crazy issues. I did a simple test on the tap water to see where it was at and how to use the TF-100 kit. What should I be looking for to get...

Some of you saw my previous post started last fall for the planning of our DIY build. The pool kits has been ordered and will be delivered on Friday. The dig was scheduled for Monday but with rain in the forecast I am hoping they can squeeze it in Saturday. We can hardly wait to have it finished...

I'm trying to determine plumbing layout and requirements, please help There will be 3 returns down 1 side of the pool, should they all be individual 2" runs to the pump pad? 2 steps jets in the steps at both ends, can each pair be tied together and ran 2' back to pad? 2 Skimmers opposite side...

Is there a brand preference for acrylic/plastic/fiberglass steps or any to stay away from? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is there a uniform requirement for steps or ladder in the deep end or does that vary by depth and municipality? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

After spending some time scratching my different ideas on paper I decided it was time to make them look more professional for HOA and county approval. After searching around Realtime Landscape Pro had good reviews so I spent the $100 which if it did all it claims is a fantastic price. I have to...

Has anyone on there completed or attempted a DIY build in Davidson county, TN? I am trying to get more details on what codes and permits require but keep going around in phone system limbo. thanks in advance

We are in the planning stage for a new vinyl IGP to start late winter/early spring next year. We will likely be adding a small 1/2 bath as part of the project and trying to decide where to place the pump and equipment. We will likely keep the pool open year round so not sure if that would play a...
