We have a pool in AZ and live in Canada and have a service that is cleaning our pool. What exactly should I expect? They sweep, vacuum, clean the skimmer - do they run the pumps /fire up the heater etc to check things out? A separate question - our neighbor had a different service cleaning...

[attachment=0:15ktf7mb]Lorenson_Bench Aerial.jpg[/attachment:15ktf7mb]We have an unusual shaped pool (rectangle with large tanning ledge separated by a table so we didn't need extra stairs into the deep middle part) . [attachment=2:15ktf7mb]pool daytime.jpg[/attachment:15ktf7mb] It's pretty...

I have an easytouch 4 controller and was wondering about the cost of adding solar. We have a spa with a gas heater and used the gas when we were there at spring break, but I was curious about whether already having the easytouch reduces the cost of solar somewhat? Our pool is relatively small...

We have a new pool we built in AZ and have intellibrite lights in it - we love the look of the pool in the evening. Now the problem is that we realize when we heat it we lose a lot of heat overnight when the air is cold so really should use a solar cover while we're heating it (we only heat when...

We have all our landscape lights on a timer, we just finished building the pool this week and I'm realizing that I want the intellibrites on the timer as well. I'm wondering if they can just be added to the controller for the landscape lights or do we need more hardware :) Any advice would be...

My pool builder says that the wall switch is an "option" with the intellibrite lights. I know the full pentair controller box is an option, but the material I read when we went with the intellibrite said that if you don't go with the controller you use a standard light switch to change the light...

We have a new pool with a suntouch controller with the remote with the four options. We have a heated spa, spillover feature, intellibrite lights in the pool and spa, as well as Pentair intellibrite bubblers. Right now the remote is set up as follows: pool and spa lights are on a button...

In Maricopa City we can use a door alarm for inspection purposes, I'm just wondering what door alarms other folks have used for sliders with access to the pool? Thank you

We are doing pavers around our pool and we don't love the look of the coping pavers and we're wondering if we can just run the paver pattern right to the edge of the pool? Thank you

We have landscaping within 2 feet of the pool we're building and I was wondering what it would take to add to the irrigation system in a few years to create jets that spray into the pool? I guess the downside is that we'd be paying for water instead of recirculating from the pool? I like the...

We are just excavating now so our window for changes is closing but any advice would be greatly appreciated. We are trying to do a 400 BTU gas heated pool, with infloor cleaning, spa, gas firepit, 1000 sq feet of paver decking and full landscaping under 50K so we are having to be disciplined on...

Our pool builder doesn't recommend LED rope lights but we have a large wet deck/ tanning ledge with a table in it and I think it would look cool to have it lit up - we may not do this now but I'm wondering if we should run electrical for options later?

We are in the process of putting a pool in our AZ house - we're using this as a vacation home for the next while (we're in our 40s) and then when we retire will split our time between AZ and our home in BC Canada. We originally had a tanning ledge/ baja bench that was 8 by 8 then realized since...

We are installing an above ground pool, but will be digging it in with retaining walls (so the dirt won't be against the sides, and there will need to be about 2 feet of decking built around the whole pool. Just wondering if we could build a wood deck frame, and then install panels with tiles 2...

I was looking at soft sided pools, found about 10 sites that all lead to the same place, none of which have a working phone number (the 1-877 doesn't work from Canada), they didn't reply to email requests but I was curious because they had an amazing price for the Alberca soft sided pool that I...

Okay, so I love the look of rectangular pools, we're going to have a deck all around ours (our lot slopes away from the house so we can dig down to have a ground level deck without an inground pool) - so now I'm looking at a softsided pool (eg tuff pools, chois (alberca) etc.) - see the photo...

We have two kids (10 and 12) and are purchasing an oval AGP. We're going with a flat bottom and want to set up to play volleyball etc. What depth do you experienced owners recommend? Part of me thinks that the deeper the water is the better, but I'm a little concerned a 54 inch side will be...

We are looking to install an oval AGP on our lot which slopes away from the house. We have a bobcat and 12 acres, so we can do the excavating, but still are undecided about the option of burying the pool or just building a wood deck flush with the slope so that we can access all around the...
