The gas line pipes to our pool/spa gas heater are rusting. The heater and pool are less than two years old. They started rusting fairly soon after installation and I should have called the company sooner, but we've had other issues, and this got put on the back burner so to speak. It seems to...

For all you pool experts that like a challenging puzzle Last summer (2016) our pool was a little over a year old when the plaster quartz (QuartzScapes) started getting dark gray discoloration/staining/mottling. Our water was crystal clear and our chemicals were perfect (BBB & Taylor test kit)...

Hello, We have something black on the bottom of the pool that has been getting worse, spreading to almost the whole bottom of the pool, but the pool water is clear looking. We have been using the TFP method of balancing the pool water and have had great success until now. We tried to scratch...

We are doing a DIY pool build and the pool designer put the dedicated vacuum line on the spa dam wall. This means we would have to walk out on the spa dam wall (12" wide), step over the spillover, and reach down while balancing on the 12" edge to attach the robot hose. He said it should be...

Can anyone recommend a good quartz plaster contractor in the Phoenix Arizona area? Instead of figuring out the best quartz plaster brand, I thought I would find a really great contractor and then ask them to recommend a good brand. This is for a new pool build.

Can anyone recommend a good quartz plaster pool finish brand? We are looking at Pebble Fina (plaster), Diamondbrite, and Quartzscape but are open to other brands. We do not like the feel of any of the pebble finishes at all, so plaster is our only option. I know they are not nearly as durable...

We are building a SWG pool and one of the PBs we talked to said we should not use the SWG cell during the winter off-season and switch to a Chlorine tablet dispenser thing. His reason was to save the SWG cell wear and tear, but we will be using the spa year round so this doesn't make a lot of...

Anyone have experience using Build Your Own Pool of Arizona to build their pool? Debating between doing it ourselves - find contractors, etc. or using the Build Your Own Pool company which costs $2K for middle package. The price seems steep to me. We already have our design pretty much nailed...
